1) There is a difference with the height of the south and north neighbors, the one on the sou th has more height and the one on the north has less height that the building designed.
2) The structure infront has a window facing straight to the site, interfering with the privacy of the people inside. The openings in the main facade are limited.
3) The height difference with the neighboring structure to the north, allows the entry of sunli ght, and views of “El Cerro de las Mitras”.
4) The house has two axis that allows the di vision of the spaces in the interior, separating the services and private spaces with the public space.

2) The creation of terraces allows getting diffe rent views to the “El Cerro de la Silla”, from the low level all the way to the top level.
3) To avoid the continuous view of the neighbo ring building from behind, a staggered structure is used. This structure creates additional terra ces and hides the interior.

PROJECT’S LOCATION
The site is located in Dr. José Ma. Coss 523, Downtown, Monterrey, Mexico.
The dominant wind comes from the east during the summer and from the south during winter.
The site is located at the northeastern part of Mexico, this region is famous for its long droughts and high temperatures that can reach 40 degrees Celsius.
The selected site is abandoned in front of the “Plaza del Chorro”, the objective is to increase the population of the neighborhood. Therefore it is created a replicable mixed-use multifamily housing design for the different abandoned points of the city’s downtown. (fig.8)
To gain population that has been withdrawn from the area in the last decades, since in the downtown the range of ages inclines more for older people, around 40 - 75 years old. It seeks to attract younger people to the city’s downtown and not letting get more abandoned.

SET PLAN
1) An abandoned site is selected in Monterrey’s Downtown, places in a corner to take advantage of the double facade, and the north and west views of the city.
2) Two of the surrounding buildings were in disuse/abandoned, so it was decided to use these lots for the same project.
29
3) The “Viviendas Terra” building is placed on the site, it is made up of two volumes, the first one that is the main volume and then the smaller one.
4) A space between the two volumes is cleared up to create a public environment and interaction the housing.
30
5) The volumes have views to the outside, to the north, south, and west, taking advantage of the indirect light and protecting itself against the hot rays of the sun.
6) The interior space between the volumes is used to have a view and ventilation, having indirect light from the north, as well as from the south and east.
31
7) The use of the interior space between the buildings is used to implement a paddle tennis court for public and resident use.

PROJECT’S LOCATION
The project works on the scales, Large, medium and small, on the large scale it focuses on the way in which Monterrey’s downtown moves, the motor mobility, the pedestrians, and even the public transport routes such as public buses and the subway. In turn, it is responsible for connecting the three different plazas, the Plaza de lo Enamorados, the Plaza del Chorro and the Plaza de la Luz.
The medium scale focuses on creating a superblock, the Plaza del Chorro was chosen and around it surroun ding blocks were chosen to create a 3x3 superblock, creating a neighborhood of El Chorro.
The small scale focuses on the creation of a design for the plaza of the chosen superblock, in this case the Plaza del Chorro, it had to focus on the daily activities of people, how they moved around the place, how the people felt being there, the itinerant market that takes place on Fridays, the lighting and the maintenance that is given to it. (fig.9)

(Fig. 9) Plaza del Chorro
1) The plaza is converted into a social center, the cultural points that promotes activities that generates identity and community are located.
2) The downtown of the city is liberated from the car. The urban space gives the priority to the pedestrians, creating a comunication between the people and Monterrey’s cultural points.
3) The “Plaza del Chorro” is connected with the rest of the city. The resulting urban form potentializes the corners. A urban culture focused on the people is promoted.
CULTURE 40
After analysing the potential of the cultural points in the area and seeing the possible connections of these points, a master plan is proposed to promote the preservation of the heritage and identity of Monterrey’s downtown, It integrates the residents of the neigborhood in a revitalized context that generates a sense of community. In turn, it attracts external populations to enjoy the public and cultural space of the city.
Stepped Pedestrain Route
A connection that seeks to link cultural, historical and social meeting points.
Replicable Methodology
The stepped pedestrain route is replicable throughout the city. Starting from a central point and intervening in the pedestrian area
Pocket Parks
Pocket parks will be placed in open spaces that are conside red underutilized or abandoned within the stepped route.
Connection to the urban transport Bike Lane
The walkable streets are directly connected to the public trans port services of the city.
Vehicular Mobility
In order to set free the area of cars, it is proposed that vehicular access be made from the peri meter; since the stepped route prevents vehicular traffic.
Reinterpretation of “Calzada Madero”
The “Calzada Madero” is reinterpreted, to restore the cultural greatness and economic importance that it once had.
A bike lane is implemented as a form of non-motorized transportation within the area.
Tram
Public transport that travels in the perimeter of the district, freeing the center from traffic jams, pollution and motor mobility.

Historically, the city of Monterrey and its inhabitants had a direct relationship with water, a large part of their activities and the way they moved through the city was related to the water flows of the Santa Catarina River and the Santa Lucía’s waterholes. With the arrival of the 20th century and the channeling of these elements, the relationship between water and city in Monterrey was lost.
