Entry Description

Loma Guadalupe is located within one of the most important avenues of the city of Zapopan, Jalisco. The main values ​​of its conception were functionality and privacy.
The building rises mid-level to accommodate two parking floors, giving it a wider perspective from the street and first-level apartments seen in height. In the horizontal plane, the building is articulated in three regions, each housing a different type of apartment, a scheme that is repeated in the vertical direction, except for the last floor, which has two studios and a gym.
The orientation and layout of their spaces allow them to take full advantage of natural lighting and ventilation, while enjoying exceptional views. Also, the implementation of a central courtyard, an element characteristic of the traditional architecture of our region, allows these benefits to extend to all the spaces of the tower.

Bio

Architecture not only gives us eternity and shelter, but it embraces us, it´s a contained space that holds the course of our life. It´s always there to teach us, but above all gives us fantasies. We believe we are a driving force for our culture and context, having an unavoidable impact in our project’s surroundings, which entails great responsibility.
Therefore, it is essential to understand, learn and create despite the risks. Nothing can be gained without risk. We are committed with those who inhabit space, willing to experience both the good and bad that architecture represents.
