In this building, located on Veracruz Avenue, we created different conditions in the interior spaces by playing with the heights in the mezzanines. The vertical circulation located in the center of the building, allowed intercalating the prototypes, so that the public areas always have a double height while the private areas have conventional heights. The main façade expresses the concept of the interior, with terraces that respond to the change of levels inside the apartments.
