In response to the current demand for quality spaces and constant urban growth, Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos introduces ARTZ Pedregal, a mixed-use project that promises to be the new icon in the heart of southern Mexico City. This project is within a completely urban landscape, on a site of 50,500 m2 and adjacent to very important road axes.

Following several analyses and given the understanding that there are few quality public spaces in the city, the central concept of ARTZ Pedregal is based on the creation of a large 5,000 m2 public park at the center of the project, created as a primordial space with abundant vegetation, organic walking paths, squares and water mirrors that produce a sense of isolation and tranquility in the outdoors.

Understanding this large park as a response to this need, the group is committed to generating open urban environments and social interaction typical of a street in a traditional city. The direct contact with nature allows the sun, wind and rain to fall without any obstacle into the central park.

Plan – Third Level

On one side of the park, three office towers are connected via unifying volume of two levels called the “Office Park.” At the opposite end is a fourth tower for corporate use.

The base of the corporate towers are integrated into the park, allowing the commercial development to extends on four levels with a wide range of restaurants, cinemas, services and commercial premises. An interior street is designed in the center of the project as a guiding element in order to optimize the flow of the different accesses and uses.

Plan of Road Improvements

Given that the development sits on volcanic rock characteristic of the area, the forms of the project express tectonic geometries referring to the geological characteristics of the terrain. The volumes allude to strata of earth that are placed and aesthetically ordered to organize the different levels and uses of the architectural program.

Diagram

The original perimeter of the property is surrounded by large trees that have been conserved, generating a vegetable mattress to isolate the noise and respect nature.

With the intention of improving the context and the area that surrounds it, the ARTZ Pedregal gives Mexico City a depressed tunnel on Anillo Periferico that will significantly improve the traffic flow creating more possibilities of access from the first and second floors from the Avenue. A perimeter street is also contemplated to be built to avoid obstructing the traffic of the surrounding avenues, to provide services to the different components of the project and to access the common parking of six underground levels. Finally, some roads will be widened to facilitate the mobility of its surroundings.
