XXII Nuevo León Architecture Biennial, Project La Luz

Project: LA LUZ
**La Luz 1126** is an experimental housing project in the historic center of Monterrey. It represents an architectural essay aimed at addressing the challenges of housing in consolidated and historic urban areas. The project consists of 5 residential units and a commercial ground floor that functions as “eyes on the street.”
This project exemplifies how a small-scale construction can benefit the city while respecting the historical context of its location. It represents a commitment to vertical housing that does not disrupt its surroundings but integrates organically and honestly with the existing construction.
The aim was to create a 1:1 scale concept that reflects a human-scaled project suited to a historic neighborhood. The building adheres organically to its surroundings without abruptly disrupting the landscape. Additionally, the design reveals both the existing construction phases and the current ones.
The choice of materials used is a clear representation of the region’s construction history. Exposed concrete, which has been used in Monterrey for over 100 years, is a significant part of the structure. Fired brick, also from the region, was used to create a flexible “skin” with thermal properties. The decision to leave materials exposed demonstrates honesty with the materials and inherits sustainable passive design principles from Northeast Mexican architecture.
The project is a juxtaposition of eras and materials, and simultaneously, a testament to how the present can coexist respectfully with the past.
