The DVS 03 project – comprising two blocks that contain 33 dwellings – is part of Villa Serena, a residential development in Ciudad Juárez, in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. It rises on flat land in the existing brick-clad complex. Analysis of the axes of the original buildings was the starting point of a design process that sought to create direct relationships between the new constructions and the already-existing premises. With a concrete structure, the one- and two-bedroom units also present brick facades and an outer perimeter of alternating balconies and terraces. The variable organization in the modulation of the openings generates different interior experiences, even in homes with the same layout. The result is a diversity of spaces that enriches the overall architectural experience.
