The project is located in Mexico City, in a 400 m² site, with a 10-meter frontage and a 40-meter depth. Front and rear restrictions of 5 meters and a 3-meter lateral setback defined the construction perimeter. Our design aimed to maximize interior space while creating a sense of openness and a continuous relationship with the exterior. A perimeter garden surrounds three sides of the steel and glass structure. A central garden adjacent to vertical circulations enhances this indoor-outdoor connection and regulates ambient temperature.
