At 20 years old, I designed this 148-meter (485 ft), 32-story mixed-use tower located conceptually on Avenida Chapultepec, Mexico City.
This project explores vertical urban density in one of the most strategic corridors of CDMX, combining:
• 32 floors• 148 meters in height• Office tower• Shared commercial podium• Residential tower integration• Suspended helipad• Urban mixed-use strategy
The proposal consists of an office tower rising above a commercial base that is shared with a residential tower, creating a layered programmatic composition. The commercial podium activates the street level, while the office tower establishes a strong vertical presence in the skyline.
One of the most distinctive features is the suspended helipad, designed as a structural and symbolic crown element — expressing corporate power, emergency accessibility, and architectural boldness.
The façade composition emphasizes contrast:– Dark glass volumes– Exposed structural expression– Vertical red accent element– Dynamic exoskeleton component– Transparent lower commercial base
Growing up deaf, architecture became my way of communicating with the world. Skyscrapers became my language. What started as solitude turned into obsessive passion — modeling cities, studying skyline proportions, and imagining how towers shape identity.
By 20, I was already thinking about:• Mixed-use urban density• Structural expressionism• Vertical hierarchy• Programmatic stacking• Corporate + residential coexistence• Skyline impact within Mexico City
This project represents a more mature phase in my early development — moving from pure form exploration into contextual urban thinking.
This isn’t just a tower.It’s a vision of vertical Mexico City.
