The project was created in response to the high demand for a student housing, a need that arises from the location of the building in an area of the city with many universities.
We have developed five types of housings, providing a high level of independency in their internal organization. They are:

We proposed a variety of programs that promoted the unity and integrity of people, which are located on the ninth level, which has views towards the city.

The building has a special treatment of its edges, which through an integrated system for structural carpentry-rails raises subtle textures, lights and shadows that enrich the relationship between interior and exterior.

We have tried to give the building a simple design in order to provide some calm in a sector of the city, due to the great transformation that the neighborhood is going through.
