In a set of multi-family apartments with high environmental performance.
There are 7 apartments of 2 or 3 levels and high ceilings. centrally located in a suburb of Mexico City.
The design and conception of the building was created with the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team consisting of architects, engineers, biologists, consultants and steel construction, resulting in a structural façade inspired by the trees of the same neighborhood, (biomimicry) offering security and a very good seismic performance by optimizing the use of steel and concrete by 15%.

The development has urban gardens and roof terraces with food production, developed by a plant palette with species that may provide some food source, respecting patterns of migratory birds and insects and residents. It has a management and recycling. Are captured rainwater cascadeandolas with re use and recycling. It has straw bale walls between departments to provide better thermal and acoustic performance, and intent on building energy efficiency compared with a normal building is 70% so that users we have less power consumption.
The building transcends the barriers of only being a place to hold human life and begins to allow the shelter and allow the life of the environment in which this.
