2019 Best of Design Awards winners for Residential — Multiunit

2019 Best of Design Award for Residential — Multiunit: 139 SCHULTZ

Designer: CPDA Arquitectos
Construction: MOCAA Arquitectos
Location: Mexico City

139 SCHULTZ is a six-level building made up of 21 apartments, with an interior distribution that favors ventilation and natural lighting in all living areas, along with views toward inner courtyards as well as the street. The facade facing Schultz Street is composed of a sculptural and monolithic double skin of red concrete that creates privacy for residents. The interior facades are composed of red enameled partitions and floor-to-ceiling windows. The exterior shape of the building, generated from a varied arrangement of internal spaces, is incomprehensible from the inside, but the form is free and ductile, as if an interior force pressed the walls outward. The expansive character of the interiors of the dwellings promotes distraction and dreams.
