The buildings in Condesa, Mexico City, have special regulations surrounding the preservation of architectural heritage because of the history of the neighborhood.
委员会要求在一个场地上设计四个居住单元，那里有一栋注册过的具有历史外墙的房子要被保留下来。这个条件启发我们重新思考老房子里的生活，并将这个模式转化为新的建筑。
The commision ask to design four living units on a site where a registred house with a historic facade was to be preserved. This condition inspired us to rethink life inside the old house and translate the schema into the new building.
该项目的目的是创造模仿原始天井的内部空间，同时保持这些空间与其他公寓的隐私。这些天井使每个公寓都能自然采光和通风。在室内和天井之间的界限处也纳入了花园床，以便将景观纳入建筑中。
The project’s intention was to create interior spaces mimicking the original patios while mantaining privacy of these spaces from the other apartments. These patios allowed each apartment to be naturally lit and ventilated. Garden beds where also incorporated at the limits between the interior and the patios in order to incorporate the landscape within the architecture.
这个过程帮助我们理解了如何以清醒和谨慎的态度对待一个有价值的遗产，其结果是记忆和城市发展的并置。
This process helped us understand how to treat a valued heritage with awarness and care and the result is an juxtaposition of memory and urban development.
