Cova07 公寓

在墨西哥城的中心地带，有一个最具有历史、传统和古色古香的街区--圣拉斐尔街区，它的特点是有著名的剧院、传统餐厅、绿地和大量被列为文化遗产的建筑。而其战略位置靠近经济实力和增长的主要大道，如Paseo de la Reforma，使得这个传统街区成为未来几年发展最快的街区之一，在这里，越来越多的非正式贸易开始组织起来，那些被遗忘的纪念碑开始重新获得力量，那些老宅子开始恢复生机。

In the heart of Mexico City, there is one of the neighborhoods with the most history, tradition and antiquity, the San Rafael neighborhood, characterized by its famous theaters, traditional restaurants, green areas and a large number of buildings classified by cultural heritage, and that with its strategic location close to the main avenues of greater economic power and growth such as Paseo de la Reforma, have made this traditional neighborhood one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the coming years, where more and more that trade informal begins to organize itself, those forgotten monuments begin to regain strength, and those old mansions begin to shine even more.

这就是为什么我们决定重新配置和干预墨西哥城的关键街区之一，并在20世纪被遗忘。主要目标是设计一个建筑，由于其目前的配置，在城市的动态中工作。 我们试图介入一个经历了时间考验的街区，作为一个用户，你通过他们的故事来识别自己；尊重街区和研究它的背景，了解它的历史和功能，并在此基础上进行设计。

That is why we decided to reconfigure and intervene one of the key neighborhoods in Mexico City and forgotten during the 20th century. The main objective was to design a building that, due to its current configuration, works within the dynamics of the city.We seek to intervene in a neighborhood that has survived time, where as a user you identify yourself through their stories; respecting the neighborhood and the context studying it and understanding what was its history and function.

Cova 07在使用方面是一个当代的建议;在正式的部分，它使用现有的材料，完全尊重空间，同时保持谨慎;我们不会试图让社区和用户将其理解为大规模干预或恶化社区的本质。这是一个经过精心设计的平衡，我们将其适应当前的需求，同时理解保留其所在环境的重要性，这是一个与社区生活对话的当代住宅。

Cova 07 is a contemporary proposal in terms of its use; in the formal part, it uses current materials with total respect for space, at the same time being discreet; We do not try to make the neighborhood and the user interpret it as a massive intervention or that it deteriorates the essence of the neighborhood. It is a very well studied balance, we adapt it to current needs but understanding the importance of preserving the context where it is located, it is a contemporary home that dialogues with community life.

重估区域价值，促进街区的经济活动，朝向室内空间生活

该项目提出了一个由14个住宅组成的建筑，所有的空间都融入了环境中，寻求所有的内部空间都能找到那个特定的景观或与外部的联系，不忘过去，利用自然光照到达所有的空间，温暖的饰面的使用，与表面材料的混合，使得一个愉快的空间居住。房屋之间的连接，由外部桥梁连接，模仿那些老邻居的概念，在那里人们互动，生活在一起，并知道对方，是今天的一个基准，在使建筑，但在这些时代的物理距离，寻找和重新采取和谐的特点，我们的老建筑，这给了社会的附加值，实现用户之间的关系的权力。夺回建筑，显示了一个简单的元素的外立面，实现他们之间的和谐，适应眼前的环境，但最重要的是，在一般的网站，但更重要的是，惊喜的当地人和陌生人。穿越常见的指定空间和社会领域，出人意料地到达一个大型中央天井,隐私成为一个范例,在共处占用它的历史,这个大中央天井与14房屋的共存。

Revalue the areas and promote the economic activity of the neighborhoods, living towards the interior spaces

The project proposes a building of 14 homes, all with spaces integrated into the context, seeking that all interior spaces find that specific view or connection to the outside, without forgetting the past, taking advantage of natural lighting to reach all spaces, the use of warm finishes, with a mixture of apparent materials, makes a pleasant space to inhabit. The connectivity between the houses, linked by exterior bridges, imitating the concept of those old neighborhoods, where people interacted, lived together and knew each other, is today a benchmark in making architecture, but in these times of physical distancing, finding and retake that harmony that characterized our old buildings, which gave an added value to society, the power to achieve that relationship between users. Retaking that Architecture that showed a simplicity of elements on the facade, achieving harmony between them, adapting to the immediate context, but above all to the site in general, but more importantly, surprising locals and strangers, inside, that, crossing the designated spaces for the common and social areas, unexpectedly arriving at a large central patio, where privacy becomes a paradigm, where coexistence takes up its history, this large central patio that coexists with the 14 houses, with common areas, with terraces and with entrances, neighborhood architecture.
