A Vecindad是墨西哥城的一种传统住房类型，有简单的排屋，面向线性天井，被重新诠释为年轻家庭的新公寓建筑。该项目在圣玛丽亚-拉里贝拉社区的一个典型的狭窄但深的地块上实施，离著名的摩尔人展馆只有几个街区。作为其附近地区的新动力，该住房开发项目像催化剂一样促进了目前被低估的巴里奥区的再生。
A Vecindad, a traditional housing typology with simple row houses facing a linear patio in Mexico City, is re-interpreted as a new apartment building for young families. The program is implemented in a typical narrow but deep plot in the Santa María La Ribera neighbourhood, just a few blocks away from the famous Moorish Pavilion. As a new impulse to its immediate vicinity the housing development contributes like a catalyst to the regeneration of the currently otherwise undervalued barrio.
作为一个腐朽的废墟，一个19世纪的历史建筑的部分被保留下来，并被纳入新的结构。历史的外墙作为过去的碎片诚实地矗立着，现在由一个现代抗震结构支撑着。这两个外墙，新的和旧的，创造了一个混合体，向路人讲述这个地方的历史故事。
Found as a decaying ruin, parts of a historical building from the 19th century are preserved and incorporated into the new structure. The historical facade stands honest as a fragment of the past, now supported by a contemporary earthquake-resistant structure. The two facades, old and new, create a hybrid telling the story of the place’s history to the passer-by.
受先例Vecindad的启发，一个共享的天井构成了这个项目的核心，作为一个公共场所，邻居们在这里见面，走到一起，孩子们在户外一起玩。
Inspired by the precedent Vecindad, a shared patio forms the heart of the development as a communal place where neighbors meet, come together, and where children play together outdoors.
八个单位被排列成一排。为了避免公寓范围内的不平等，每个单位被设计成联排别墅，垂直排列在三层和一个屋顶露台上。朝南的大窗户可以俯瞰绿色的庭院，并允许从顶层俯瞰整个街区的屋顶景观的全景。所有的公寓都从共享天井进入。在一楼有一个包括开放式厨房在内的生活区，每增加一个楼层，每套公寓都会逐渐变得更加私密。每个单位的后面有一个私人楼梯，连接所有楼层和屋顶。一个玻璃屋顶灯为下面的楼梯提供自然光。屋顶上独立的私人露台使户外生活受益于墨西哥的温暖气候。
Eight flats are arranged in a row formation. In order to avoid inequality within the range of apartments, each flat is designed as a townhouse, vertically arranged across three levels and a rooftop terrace. Large south-facing windows overlook the green courtyard and allow for panoramic views from the top floor across the roof landscape of the neighborhood. All apartments are entered off the shared patio. With a living area including an open kitchen on the ground floor, each flat turns gradually more private with every additional floor. A private staircase at the back of each flat connects all floors and the roof. A glazed roof light provides natural light to the stair below. Individual private terraces on the rooftop allow for outdoor living benefitting from the warm Mexican climate.
窗户沿着坚固的混凝土外墙自由分布，确保每个公寓都是独一无二的，每个房间都是不同的，都有优化的窗户位置以获得特定的外部景观。大面积的窗户为生活区提供了充足的日光，同时也为庭院和城市提供了无障碍的视野。建筑原则包括混凝土结构框架和混凝土砖墙作为填充物。
The free distribution of windows along the solid concrete facades ensures that each apartment is unique and every room is different with optimized window positions for specific views of the outside. The large windows offer generous daylight levels within the living areas as well as unobstructed views into the courtyard and toward the city. The construction principles comprise a structural concrete frame with concrete block walls as infill.
主立面前现有的一棵Ahuehuete树在繁忙的街道和面向东方的两个单位之间提供了自然的噪音缓冲。这棵艳丽的树创造了一层隐私，就像一个天然的窗帘，同时也提供了单位内的迷人风景。
An existing Ahuehuete tree in front of the main facade provides a natural noise buffer between the busy street and the two flats facing East. The flamboyant tree creates a layer of privacy like a natural curtain offering at the same time an attractive view from within the flats.
沿着邻墙的垂直花园将天井与邻近的建筑物隔开，在科洛尼亚的巨大景观中提供了一个平静和绿色的背景。
A vertical garden along the neighbouring wall shields the patio from the adjacent buildings and offers a calm and green backdrop against the juggernaut landscape of the Colonia.
