2023 First Place Housing Complex with Park Contest

We are pleased to share with you our winning proposal for a Housing Complex with a Park in Mexico City. The project suggests the development of a communal rooftop park, functioning as an extension of the shared spaces situated within the ground-floor garden. The envisaged design incorporates terraces and an expansive rooftop park, conceived as a collective space for the benefit and enjoyment of all inhabitants. Our proposition envisions the park as an integral extension of the residential environment.
