Designed by Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos, the Alcazar De Toledo luxury residential project enjoys a privileged location in Mexico City and peerless natural surroundings. The site has a very rugged topography so it was decided to integrate as far as possible the architecture to these natural formations, with the aim of respecting the environment and exploiting the extraordinary panoramic views of the city that can be seen between the vegetation.

Alcazar De Toledo concept:
The architectural concept is based on a linear element which folds itself over the topography in a right-angled zigzag shape. Each fold contains the spaces for the five departments, with large terraces, amenities, and parking distributed over four levels. The result creates an elegant and subtle shape with a clear horizontal emphasis among the native vegetation of the surroundings.

The natural slope of the terrain made it necessary to develop the entrance and sequence of the building in a descending fashion. The vehicular access is located at the highest point, with a ramp that descends comfortably 5 meters to a reception area, visually rounded off by a large wooded area. This area is delimited by a large pool of water with fountains and incorporates 10 parking spaces for visitors and the access ramp to the residents’ parking. The lobby is sited at the center of this plaza in a transparent glass box with access to the vertical circulation nucleus for distribution to the various departments on the four levels below.
