The primary objective is to reconfigure the existing layout, establishing all communal and utility spaces on the ground floor. This deliberate arrangement allows for the private and resting areas to be situated exclusively on the second level, thereby creating a completelysecludedandprivate environmentforthefamily.

Density proposal

Asnewurbanexpansionsareproposed,itisessential to consider not only the space designated for habitation, but also the surrounding context. The integration of natural, recreational, and communal areas is undoubtedly a key factor in the long-term successofanydevelopment.
This proposal presents a series of density studies, illustrating how dierent approaches can shape the perceptionandqualityofspace.Highrise,largescale buildings may overwhelm an area, potentially leading to a less welcoming and disconnected environment. In contrast, lower density developments with fewer levels can foster a stronger sense of community, encourage social interaction, and promote a deeper sense of belonging. This, in turn, can support the preservationandgrowthoftheneighborhood’ssocial fabric.
Worker´s roundabout
Type of Project: Urbanplanning
Location: Cancún,QuintanaRoo,México
Team: Estudio3.14
The roundabout located in the heart of Cancún has become not only an emblem of the city’s working class but also a key junction along one of its busiest avenues. Today, it is among themostheavilytraickedareasinthecity.Asacentralnode, the roundabout often results in vehicular congestion and posessignificantchallengesforpedestriancrossing.
To address these issues, the proposal aims to improve traic flow and enhance safety, while preserving the original design element of vertical pillars. A central bus lane is introduced to promote the use of public transportation, thereby reducing the number of private vehicles on the road. The roundabout itself is shifted outward, surrounding the perimeter of the intersection. This reconfiguration allows for a continuous circularflowonthesideswhileenablingmorecontrolled,linear movement for vehicles, whether turning or going straight, through a signal based system. The result is a more eicient andpedestrian-friendlyurbanspace.
