STATUSProject
“Artown Centro”, is a residential building comprising seven apartments located in the heart of Puebla City. This project promotes the accessibility of housing in the city center, with a particular focus on young families. Each apartment features three bedrooms within a compact space of 67 square meters, offering an efficient and functional living area without compromising on comfort.
Located centrally in Puebla, Artown Centro leverages the advantages of being in the city’s core. This strategic location minimizes the need for vehicles, promoting pedestrian mobility, cycling, and the use of public transportation, essential for a sustainable urban lifestyle.
Targeted at young families, the project addresses the needs of a dynamic and accessible lifestyle. The apartment features are designed to maximize space usage, providing a complete and comfortable home within a relatively small area.
The building consists of seven apartments, each 67 square meters with three bedrooms. Despite its compact size, the apartments are designed to be functional and comfortable.
– Parking: Each apartment includes one parking space, reflecting the priority on sustainable mobility and reducing dependence on private vehicles.
– Green Areas and Nature: To foster a connection with nature, the building’s design incorporates planters in various areas. Additionally, a rooftop garden with vegetation provides a common green space for residents.
From its initial conception, Artown Centro integrates several sustainable strategies:
– Passive Design: Passive design elements are incorporated to enhance thermal comfort, reducing the need for active climate control systems.
– Water Management: The project captures and reuses rainwater, contributing to the conservation of water resources.
– Soil Permeability: The base surface of the building is permeable, allowing water infiltration into the subsoil and helping to maintain the natural water cycle balance.
With Artown Centro, Cafeína Design not only promotes accessible and functional housing in the heart of Puebla but also facilitates a sustainable lifestyle in harmony with the urban environment.
