Mariano Azuela 194
Mariano Azuela 194 is a project that seeks to integrate and align itself with the historical and cultural context of the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood, an area of great heritage wealth. The building, composed of four bays and two circulation cores, is designed to relate harmoniously to its urban surroundings, respecting the scale and architectural characteristics of the place.
Each tower is crowned with a barrel vault, which not only provides a distinctive character to the design, but also functions as an additional space for the apartments located on the top floor. These vaults create an interesting play of curves on the roof, offering dynamism and character to the complex.
The façade, high on the ground floor and equipped with canopies, adopts the proportions and architectural language characteristic of the early twentieth century, reflecting the essence of the buildings that abound in the neighborhood. The design also includes a commercial space on the ground floor, with the aim of promoting urban life and contributing to the quality of the immediate environment.
As for the materials, the project uses elements of national origin, worked with artisanal techniques. This choice gives rise to a palette of natural colors, which includes national marbles, earth finishes on the walls and artisanal partitions, all in tune with the character and richness of traditional Mexican architecture.
