Proyecto arquitectónico
Roma Norte, Ciudad de México, México
Vivienda Multifamiliar
Morelia 86, located in the Roma Norte neighborhood of Mexico City, is set within one of the city’s most emblematic districts. Known for its history, cultural spirit, and highly walkable character, Roma Norte offers a pedestrian life rarely found elsewhere in the capital. Within this context, the project was conceived to develop six townhouses on an irregularly shaped lot, maximizing the potential of outdoor living.
The proposal emphasizes the role of open-air spaces as central to dwelling. On the ground floor, each unit incorporates private patios that act as natural extensions of domestic life, while the upper-level residences feature roof gardens, both enhancing commercial value and enriching environmental quality. This interplay of patios and rooftops ensures that every unit looks out onto an open space, encouraging natural light, ventilation, and a close relationship with greenery.
The building’s architectural language is defined by its simplicity and sensitivity to its surroundings: a discreet material palette in earthy ocher tones, echoing historical references from the neighborhood, combined with textured interiors where latticework and block walls are designed to host vegetation.
Morelia 86 merges the heritage of Roma Norte with contemporary living, offering a housing model in which exterior spaces are not just complementary but essential to everyday experience.
