Las Americas是墨西哥莱昂市开发垂直住宅的一个原型。该住房项目旨在抵消城市无节制的扩张，作为城市复兴的催化剂，改善低收入社区的生活质量。
Las Americas is a prototype for the development of vertical dwellings in the city of Leon, Mexico. The housing project aims to offset the city’s unchecked sprawl, serving as a catalyst for urban regeneration and improved quality of life in low-income communities.
目前，传统的房屋所有权概念将开发项目锁定在远离经济中心的偏远地区，成为一亩亩相同的独立房屋。广泛的市政设施扩建和昂贵的交通项目导致了该地区经济的衰退，以及里昂内部关键密度的丧失。
Traditional notions of homeownership currently lock developments into becoming acres of identical free-standing homes in remote areas far from the economic center. Extensive municipal utilities expansion and expensive transportation programs have led to a decline in the region’s economy, and a loss of critical density within Leon.
我们与Imuvi开发公司和莱昂市合作，重新思考该市的住房模式，并开发一种既符合成本效益又能鼓励租户体验垂直住宅的结构，与独立的单户住宅一样具有吸引力。
We worked with Imuvi Development and the City of Leon to rethink housing models in the city and develop a structure that would be both cost-effective and encourage tenants to experience vertical dwellings as appealing as their freestanding single-family counterparts.
我们的项目创造了60个公寓单元，作为城市中心的一个垂直住房区。该设计最大限度地利用了地块的可建面积，产生了两个内部庭院，为每个单元提供交叉通风，并设有停车场和一个商业基地。与传统住宅的隐私感相呼应，没有两个单元面对面。单元被安排在一个单层的走廊上，面对庭院，并提供对邻里的意见，促进私人住宅的感觉。
Our project creates 60 condo units as a vertical housing block at the city’s center. The design maximizes the plot’s buildable footprint and generates two interior courtyards that provide cross ventilation to each unit, with parking and a commercial base. Resonant of the traditional home’s sense of privacy, no two units face one another. Units are arranged in a single-loaded corridor to face the courtyard and provide views out to the neighborhood, promoting the sense of private homeownership.
由独特开发的混凝土块组装的外墙增强了私密性和遮阳性，产生了独特的室内氛围，并使建筑外观更具特色。该项目采用共享公用设施核心和预制件的设计，以适应极其有限的预算。
A facade assembled of uniquely developed concrete blocks enhance privacy and shading, generate a unique interior atmosphere, and lend character to the building exterior. The project is designed with shared utility cores and prefabricated components to accommodate an extremely limited budget.
