THE IDEA
At the intersection of Reforma and Insurgentes, a tower brings together offices, coliving and a convention center. A continuous frame and shared terraces connect the programs. The same idea carries into the lobby and kitchens: architecture and interiors as one language.

The thesis developed over two semesters at Universidad Iberoamericana: first the mixed-use architecture, then its interiors. Offices, coliving and a convention center are connected through independent circulation, shared terraces and a continuous frame unifying the complex.
The site relates to four streets at the meeting of Reforma and Insurgentes. A planted base and open spaces mediate between tower and city. In the lobby, four timber-clad circulation volumes organize movement between continuous porcelain surfaces.
The public kitchen uses three Dekton frames for hot preparation, cold preparation and desserts, with appliances and storage along a stainless-steel perimeter. The private kitchen contrasts a brass island and hood within a dark envelope. Elevator lobbies, stairs and coliving corridors extend the study of the architectural frame.
