该项目的主要理念是将建筑物与现有的“滴滴答答”景观连接起来。这种美丽的材料遍布整个遗址和附近的小山，具有强烈但高贵的物理品质，值得保存和尊重。

The main concept of the project is to connect the building with the existing landscape of "tepetate". This beautiful material is found all along the site and nearby hills, and has a strong but noble physical quality that was worth conserving and respecting.

这一概念与传统的城市化战略相反，在传统的城市化战略中，现代性将自身置于一切之上，忘记并抹去了与自然景观的联系。

This concept goes in the opposite direction of conventional urbanising strategies, where modernity places itself on top of it all, forgetting and erasing its connection with the natural landscape.

该项目位于一个面积为3，112.72平方米的三角形场地内，包括三座高楼，可容纳所有公寓的三座大楼、一个容纳所有房屋的单一街区、一个主庭院、一个后庭院、一个可容纳120辆汽车的有盖和开放的停车场，以及两个设有安全检查站的独立入口。

The project sits in a 3,112.72 sq m triangular site, and includes three towers holding all the apartments, a single block holding all the houses, a main courtyard, a back courtyard, both a covered and open parking space holding 120 cars, and two separate entrances with security checkpoints.

每栋房屋的建筑面积为115平方米，两层楼包括：一个小门廊、一个私人露台、开放式厨房、客厅/餐厅、小洗衣房、2.5间浴室和3间卧室。里面的空间设计得越宽敞越好，这就是为什么每所房子都有两个天窗，没有无意义的房间分隔。主卧室包括窗外一个漂浮的大花盆，给人一种隐私感和一种自然的感觉。

Each of the 10 houses has a built area of 115 sq m, with two floors that include: a small portico, a private patio, open kitchen, living/dining room, small laundry, 2.5 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The spaces inside were designed to be as spacious and well lighted as possible, that's why each house has two skylights and no nonsense room divisions. The main bedroom includes a big floated flowerpot outside the window, giving a sense of privacy and an extra touch of nature.

这些公寓的建筑面积为92平方米，包括：厨房、餐厅/客厅、两间浴室，以及在两间或三间卧室之间的选择。底层的所有公寓都有宽敞的私人露台供厨房、客厅/餐厅和一间卧室使用。再一次，室内空间尽可能宽敞，有良好的自然照明，通风和周围的景观。有一些公寓的特殊配置，包括较高的天花板或小阳台。

The apartments have a built area of 92 sq m, and include: kitchen, dining/living room, two bathrooms, and the option to choose between two or three bedrooms. All the apartments on the ground floor have spacious private patios for the kitchen, living/dining room and one of the bedrooms. Again, the space inside is as spacious as possible, with good natural lighting, ventilation and views of the surrounding landscape. There are a few apartments with special configurations that incorporate higher ceilings or small balconies.

主庭院作为两座主塔与住宅大厦之间的一个旋转区，有一个大的空地，包括一堵天然的“茶园”墙和5个巨大的粉红色花盆，每个花盆都有一棵小树和一个座位区。

The main courtyard works as a pivoting area between the two main towers and the housing block, it has a big open space and includes a natural "tepetate" wall and 5 enormous pink flower pots, each one housing a small tree and seating area.

由于工程的财务限制，我们考虑了最简单的结构体系，除了有盖的停车位外，到处都有承重墙。然后，这些建筑要么用天然的“提皮特”，要么用粉红或重新装饰的木桩来掩盖。

Due to the financial restrictions of the project, we considered the simplest possible structural system, with load bearing walls everywhere except on the covered parking space. The buildings were then covered up either with natural "tepetate", pink or redish stuccos.

整个项目被设计成一个统一的实体，它植根于大地，游刃有余，并试图触及天空。考虑到墨西哥城的巨大混乱和问题，我们真的希望生活在这个项目中的人们能够感受到一种尊严、生根、联系、宽敞和嬉戏的感觉，从而以某种方式提升他们的精神。

The whole project was designed as a unified entity that is rooted, that plays around and tries to reach for the sky. Considering the big chaos and problems of Mexico City, we really hope that the people living in this project can feel a sense of dignity, rooting, connection, spaciousness and playfulness, that can somehow uplift their spirits.
