Tonal Brick-Designed Housing Blocks

Miguel de la Torre Arquitectos Designs the Real de Los Reyes

— February 17, 2023 — Art & Design
Mexican design studio Miguel de la Torre Arquitectors designs the new Real de Los Reyes housing complex in Mexico City. The colored concrete structure is located in the Coyoacán neighborhood, which was formerly a village that was seen as the cultural heart of the city. There are 13 individual homes on the block with rectilinear shapes and detailed in a distinctive palette of terracotta hues.

Miguel de la Torre Arquitectos notes that "The design intention was to preserve the use of the land in the area, conserving and respecting the heights allowed by the city regulations. [The project has] a well-defined appearance, in which mass and materiality are exposed in a solution that personalises the home."
