Temistocles 12是一座位于长方形地产上的建筑,就像Polanco的许多其他建筑一样。然而,它在地产上的设置方式是结构分析的结果,这使我们能够避免使用中间的柱子,并在内部分布上给予我们极大的自由。

Temistocles 12 is a building on a rectangular-shaped property, like many others in Polanco. However, the way in which it is set on the property is the result of a structural analysis which allowed us to avoid the use of intermediate columns, and gave us great freedom in the interior distribution.

一个在中心提供照明和通风的立方体也被用于楼梯,这些楼梯上升到五层,并到达顶层的八个公寓和帐篷。

A cube providing lighting and ventilation in the center is also used for stairs that go up the five levels, and reach the eight apartments and pent-house on the top level.

四面混凝土墙贯穿整个建筑;它们在走向街道时变得更薄,形成两个体量,构成了外墙。所有的公寓前面都有一个不规则的露台,突出了墙壁的垂直度和外墙的深度。

Four concrete walls go through the building; they become thinner toward the street, forming two volumes which make up the façade. All the apartments have an irregular terrace to the front, accentuating the verticality of the walls and the depth of the facade.

一棵大树覆盖了西面的立面,再加上各种明显的材料,形成了一个有特色的建筑。

A large tree, which covers the west facade, plus the wide range of apparent materials result in a building with character.
