Temistocles 12 By JSa (formerly Higuera + Sanchez), Mexico

October 27, 2009 Category: Apartment, Residential

The Temistocles 12 was designed by JSa (formerly Higuera + Sanchez) is located in Polanco, Mexico. Temistocles 12 is a building on a rectangular field, like many others in Polanco. However, how it is defined on the property is the result of a structural analysis that allowed us to avoid the use of intermediate columns, and gave us great freedom in domestic distribution.

A cube in providing lighting and ventilation in the center is also used for stairs going up five levels, and achieve the eight penthouse apartments on the highest level. Four concrete walls are in the building, they become thinner towards the street, forming two volumes that make up the facade.

All apartments have a terrace irregular front, accentuating the verticality of the walls and the depth of the facade. A large tree, which covers the western facade, and the wide range of materials apparent result in a building with character.
