Mexican housing block by MMX features offset volumes and open corridors

MMX事务所在墨西哥Juárez设计建造了一幢公寓，建筑体块之间凹凸变化形成的空腔可以进行天然采光和自然通风。

利物浦街道61号公寓由混凝土和暗灰色砖砌成，分为四层，可容纳23户两居室居住单元。

MMX事务所没有选择单调的直线性建筑形体，而是把各单元作为相对独立的建筑体块，使其彼此相连，从而在视觉上削弱了公寓的体量，并且减小临街立面的严肃感。

Rather than creating a simple rectilinear block, Mexico City-based MMX planned the building as a series of separate but connected volumes to help visually reduce its scale and present a less severe frontage to the street.

“在项目中，关注城市与建筑之间的对话至关重要。”工作室表示，该工作室所做的建筑项目包括混凝土庭院住宅和立面似折纸的临时展馆。

"The dialogue between the city and the building is crucial for the proposal," explained the studio, whose past projects include a concrete courtyard house and a series of origami-like pavilions.

“该项目通过连接公寓的各个体块，在物质和视觉上促进了街道与内部开放空间的衔接，模糊了公共空间和私人空间的边界。”事务所补充道。

通过彼此交错在南北向之间、东西向之间形成一定的间隔，这表示每户单元都能获得至少两个方向的采光，也意味着各体块之间的连廊是完全开放的。

"The project promotes both physically and visually the connection between the street and the inner open spaces of the design, blurring the boundaries between public and private," the architects added. "It emerges as the result of adding different units."
This offset arrangement creates cavities running both north-to-south and east-to-west, meaning every home has windows facing in at least two directions. It also means that access corridors are open to the elements.

MMX 解释道：“体块间连续贯通的街道空间形成建筑的主轴线，正是这些开放空间丰富了建筑形体，划分了建筑立面的高度和进深。”

"The spatial continuity of the street within the complex, becomes the spine of the project," explained MMX. "It is the open space that shapes the volumes and defines the heights and depths across the facade."

“内部的街道不仅作为交通空间，同时也是不期而遇的交往空间，过渡空间，还是公寓各层的景观绿化空间。”

"The inner street acts not only as circulation but also creates a space for encounters,
a space of transitions and a green landscape that moves along the different levels of the building complex," it said.

除首层平面设置了5个居住单元之外，其余各层均有6个单元。每单元都拥有开阔的开放式起居空间、餐厅、厨房、两间卧室和两间浴室。

There are five homes on the ground floor, and six on each of the levels above. Each home features a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

“各个住宅单元功能相同却又存在差异，使整体产生多样化的开放公共空间，活泼而富于变化。”MMX表示。

"Creating variations of the same programmatic units allows the design to generate a diverse and changing atmosphere of the open continuous public space," added MMX.

从建筑立面上看，划分楼层的混凝土线条在暗灰色砖之间清晰可见，立面上还分布着一些穿孔砖块，有助于建筑内部空气流通。

屋顶设有露台，每层均有种植植物的空间。

The concrete floorplates are visible on the building's exterior, creating stripes across the dark brickwork. There are also some areas of perforated brickwork that help fresh air to circulate.
Terraces are located on the rooftops, and plant boxes are located on every level.
