Specifically, Alvaro Obregon 150+152 project consists of an exercise of preserving, respecting and restoring 100% of the first bay and exterior façade as the interior of a Porfirian-style house from the 19th century, which due to its different uses that it has had during Over the years it was very deteriorated. Therefore, the architectural intervention was not only to preserve its architectural elements but also to rescue and give a new use to the interior patio of the project to turn it into the central part and heart of our proposal.
A new contemporary building is designed on the house which respects and is in harmony with the existing ones, and leaves the space of the interior patio completely free to give it a function of living and central space which helps to distribute the end users within the property. This indoor outdoor lobby will allow the patio to open towards the street, creating free access connected to the charm of the Roma neighborhood, being the integrator between public and private space.
Our design proposal in the new volumetry is to build two buildings of 7 levels each, leaving 2 free levels where only the structural elements protrude to free any affectation and intervention to the existing house, and this would allow us to create a feeling that it new is levitating over the old. Likewise, the volume of the building that is on the house on the AO152 property is gradually recessed in its height, specifically, every 3 levels, and at its elevation level on the roof of the house it is recessed more or less 3 meters from the alignment of the building. the street to respect both the existing, and its context of colondating buildings no higher than 5 levels. These settings allow us to generate balconies and terraces that are this connection between the exterior and interior for the interior design of the hotel.
