DESIGN DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0YouTube Animation<\/a><\/p>\n

The project foresees the opportunity to use reinterpretation as a consistent creative tool. The new construction relates to history and accustomed living behavior patterns by mimicking an orientation strategy and an elementary functional diagram. Open space allows direct sunlight to enter from the south side; the east and the west side are offset inner plots, so the only north side is at the property line. The idea is to transition from a 2,754 sq. ft. old-construction building to a 1,937 sq. ft. new-construction building, with the same program but with roughly different space-quality experiences.<\/p>\n

Weather analysis helps us determine various vital features: Mexico City’s climate plays a critical role, as 70% of the year’s days are suitable for outdoor living. The main living-dining area can be completely open to the decked terrace, making the relatively small indoor space larger. The deck floor transforms into the fa\u00e7ade; this is the patio elevation that will be enjoyed most of the time.<\/p>\n

The roof collects all rainwater, then passes through two primary carbon-activated filters, becoming drinking water, so there is almost no reliance on the grid for water. Using our performance-based design procedure, we estimate a monthly maintenance cost of $15 USD (electricity and natural gas included). We worked with Green Building Studio and Sefaira metrics to achieve energy savings and the 2030 challenge (yet to be performance-proven).<\/p>\n
