这座1950年的建筑的改造项目位于墨西哥城中部的康德萨社区，该社区以混合建筑风格而闻名，如殖民时期、装饰艺术和包豪斯风格。最初的建筑设计主要遵循包豪斯风格的原则。改造的主要想法是尊重原始设计及其主要元素，保持这个经典建筑的本质。该项目重点关注原始材料，即玻璃、陶瓷砖和钢。
The renovation project of this 1950 building is located in Condesa Neighborhood in Central Mexico City, a neighborhood known for its mix of architectural styles such as Colonial, Art Deco and Bauhaus. The original building design followed mainly Bauhaus style principles. The main idea of the renovation was to respect the original design and its primary elements, keeping the essence of this classic building. The project focused on the original materials, which where glass, ceramic bricks and steel.
该建筑的原始设计包括5层，每层有2套公寓，屋顶上有储藏室和干洗区。改造的主要干预措施是在3个方面进行的。外墙、流通/大堂和屋顶。
The building original design consisted of 5 floors with 2 apartments per floor and a rooftop with storage rooms and dry-cleaning areas. The main intervention of the renovation was made in 3 areas. Façades, circulation/lobbies and roof top.
外立面。对于外立面，我们的想法是尽可能地尊重建筑的原始设计原则。我们用定制的混凝土砖外墙重新解释了原来的陶瓷砖外墙，以创造一个干净和简单的外观，遵循窗户设计的直线。阳台的修改是为了划分每个公寓的花盆区域，并创造一个更轻的感觉。我们重新利用了原来的窗户和阳台的扶手，以保持建筑的经典外观。
Façade. For the façade the idea was to respect the building original design principles as much as possible. We re interpretated the original ceramic brick façade with a custom-made concrete brick façade in order to create a clean and simple look following the straight lines of the windows design. The balconies where modify in order to divide the planter area for each apartment and to create a lighter sensation. We re-utilized the original windows and balconies handrails to maintain the building´s classic look.
对于大厅和流通区域的内部，原来的设计在地板和墙壁上使用了淡黄色的水磨石，在扶手和窗户上使用了红色的钢筋，在主窗上使用了非常古老的不透明的玻璃。该项目的目的是保持相同的材料，但创造一个更明亮的空间，将水磨石换成更白的色调，将不透明的玻璃换成更明亮的玻璃，将钢铁的红色换成黑色，并重新设计一个经典的网状设计的画窗。我们的想法是创造一个更生动的空间，我们在图片窗的外部添加了花盆，并创造了一些开放的窗户，以便从楼梯内部和主庭院获得更多的绿色景观。
For the interior of the lobbies and circulation areas, the original design had a yellowish terrazzo in floors and walls, red steel in handrails and windows and a very old opaque glass throughout the main picture window. The project purpose was to maintain the same materials, but creating a brighter space, by changing the terrazzo for a whiter tone in stairs, the opaque glasses for a brighter glass and for the steel switching the reds to blacks and redesigning the picture window with a classic reticular design. The idea was to create a more vivid space, we added planters in the exterior of the picture window and created some opening windows in order to achieve greener views from both inside the stairway and the main patio.
对于不同的大厅，决定用核桃木覆盖墙壁和门，以弥补和结合水磨石、钢和玻璃等冷材料。实现了一个更舒适的氛围。
For the different lobbies the decision was to cover the walls and doors with walnut wood to compensate and combine with the cold materials like terrazzo, steel and glass. Achieving a cozier atmosphere.
屋顶有一个重要的干预措施。最初，屋顶实际上是被遗弃的，处于可怕的状态，它有储藏室、干洗区和生活空间混合。我们决定将屋顶分成两个主要区域，服务区和生活区，我们用一堵墙进行了物理分割，并将所有的储藏室送到屋顶的背面，同时保持公共区域面向建筑的主天井，我们还在主天井里悬挂了植物，并将干洗区送到屋顶的服务区，相反，我们放置了吊床和一个旋转楼梯来进入该区域。
The rooftop had a major intervention. Originally, the roof top was practically abandoned, in terrible state, it had storage rooms, dry cleaning areas and living spaces mixed. We decided to divide the rooftop in two main areas, service and living spaces, we created a physical division with a wall and sent all the storage rooms to the backside of the roof top, while keeping the common area facing the building´s main patio, we also placed vegetation hanging throughout the main patio and sent the dry cleaning area to the service zone of the rooftop, instead we placed hammocks and a spiral staircase to access that area.
