The Condesa and the Roma neighborhoods form an area that has been regenerated in this past years due to new buildings and remodeling activities. This is precisely the area in which this project is located. The front facade works with the use of mobile panels that serve as a protection for the windows, creating a dynamic plane made out of openings and walls, while the back of the building is much more static and has less openings offers privacy to the rooms of each apartment. 
The building houses 5 apartments with inverted schemes, allowing a two-story high space in all the public areas. An elevator stands in the middle of the building, that with the incorporation of the stairs form the vertical circulations. This configuration makes a difference in the condition of each space without sacrificing any of the apartments keeping the building within the limits of the height allowed in the area.
