Introduction

The 19th-floor residential complex Best in Black located in the city of Puebla, Mexico, is a project that aims to create a new kind of residential building.

Reason to Be Selected

Having different types of apartments for the diverse needs of the people, the building consists of 3 parking levels with a lobby, 15 levels with a total of 32 apartments.

Highlights:

Including a whole floor with amenities like a fitness TRX center, steam rooms, a game room, a party room, and a terrace.

Details

The interior design of the apartments represents an industrial design meeting Mexican architecture; the materials selected like wood, concrete, marble give the space a warm look, and through the palate of colors, white and black represent the idea of the facade on the interior design.
The facade comes from an idea, the brick game; this old version had the same principals of the nowadays popular game but in an old black and gray version.
The four facades are clearly inspired in a random placement of the Tetris game shapes, forming the walls and windows of the building.

Conclusions

Meanwhile, the dark tones of the materials are based on the absence of color in that particular old version that the young future architect treasured for years.
