Coliving Interlomas是一个以学生为导向的住宅项目，位于墨西哥城外的西部，它提出了一种建筑，将生活和学习结合在一起，遵循共享生活系统的空间优化原则。该建筑有四层，其中卧室和公共区域相互补充。其余部分由两个学习室、一个休闲区、屋顶花园的两个休息区、两个整体厨房、一个餐厅、一个健身房和一个维修服务区组成。

Coliving Interlomas is a student-oriented residential project located to the western-outside Mexico City, which proposes an architecture that brings together life and studying in community, following space optimization principles in a shared living system. The complex features four levels in which the bedrooms and the common areas complement each other. The rest of the program is composed of two study rooms, a recreational area, two lounge areas in a roof garden, two integral kitchens, a dining room, a gym, and a service area for maintenance.

建筑形状诞生于对场地的体积实验，以及为12名学生创造私人和公共区域的挑战。三个隐私层面被定义为：卧室、内部公共空间和流向外部的公共区域。最初的体量被肢解成四个塔楼，其中包括卧室。在这些塔楼之间，有宽阔的公共使用区域，促进了项目充满活力的社区生活。Coliving Interlomas挽救了建筑公共空间的原则，并通过休闲、沉思和休息区将其带入微观规模。这是一个共同生活的练习，提出了有尊严和可持续的层面，这是广泛分析空间使用和日常物品的结果，并预测未来和实现可居住性的新方法。该项目重新解释了传统的四合院的二分法，为每个空间留出了内部广场，从而赋予它们有尊严的活力，因为每个空间都有自然采光、通风和植被。关于这个项目的材料，赋予其独特个性的主要元素之一，以及热温暖和单一性，是突出使用波纹混凝土。由于技术的不完善，每一面波纹混凝土墙都是不同的，这给了它独特的生活体验。固定的木制家具创造了一种视觉对比，并在塑造共享空间方面发挥了重要作用，在某些情况下作为隔断墙，在其他情况下作为帮助区分空间的元素，在这个过程中创造了有趣的路径。

The architectural shape is born from a volumetric experimentation with the site, as well as the challenge to create private and public areas for twelve students. Three privacy levels were defined: the bedrooms, the internal common spaces, and the public areas that flow towards the outside. An initial volume was dismembered into four towers which contain the bedrooms. Between these towers there are wide open, common-use areas which foster the project’s vibrant community life. Coliving Interlomas rescues the principle of building public space and takes it to a micro scale through recreational, contemplative and rest areas. It is an exercise in co-living that proposes dignified and sustainable dimensions which are the result of an extensive analysis on space usage and day-to-day objects with a projection to the future and new ways of achieving habitability. The project reinterprets the traditional dichotomy of the courtyard house by leaving interior squares for each of the spaces, thus giving them dignified vitality, since every one of them has natural lighting, ventilation, and vegetation. Regarding the project’s materiality, one of the main elements that gives it its unique character, as well as thermal warmth and singularity, is the prominent use of corrugated concrete. Every corrugated concrete wall is different from each other due to the imperfection of the technique, which gives it a unique living experience. The fixed wooden furniture creates a visual contrast and has an important role in shaping the shared spaces, in some cases functioning as dividing walls, and in others as elements that help differentiate spaces between them, creating interesting paths in the process.

技术和建设性的挑战。Coliving Interlomas是在程序和与暴露的混凝土的关系上采用完全手工的方法的结果。在施工过程中，为了达到最终的波纹混凝土效果，进行了几次技术试验。用不同类型的金属板和木材进行了模板试验，直到达到理想的技术，即没有一个波纹剥落。这就是为什么波纹是略微倾斜的，而不是90º直角的原因。景观设计被认为是一个绿色生产系统，植被包括：西番莲、酸橙、柠檬和瓜巴。这意味着要提出一种超越审美功能的健康生活方式。重要的是要考虑空间结构，以帮助项目的共同居住者与植被及其产品有一个更直接的关系。任何人都可以吃到在现场种植和收获的苹果或橙子。

Technical and constructive challenges. Coliving Interlomas is the result of a completely artisanal approach to the procedure and relationship with exposed concrete. During the construction process, several technical trials were held to achieve the final corrugated concrete effect. Formwork trials with different types of metal sheets and wood were made until the ideal technique, in which none of the corrugated waves peeled off, was achieved. This is the reason why the corrugation is slightly slanted, instead of at a straight 90º angle. The landscape design was thought as a green productive system, with vegetation such as: passionflower, lime, lemon and guaba. This means to put forward a healthy lifestyle that goes beyond aesthetic function. It was important to think of spatial structures that would help the co-habitants of the project to have a more direct relationship to the vegetation and its produce. Anyone can eat the apples or oranges that have been planted and harvested on site.
