Text description provided by architect.
Temistocles 12 is a building on a rectangular-shaped property, like many others in Polanco.
However, the way in which it is set on the property is the result of a structural analysis which allowed us to avoid the use of intermediate columns, and gave us great freedom in the interior distribution.

Four concrete walls go through the building; they become thinner toward the street, forming two volumes which make up the façade.
All the apartments have an irregular terrace to the front, accentuating the verticality of the walls and the depth of the facade.
A large tree, which covers the west facade, plus the wide range of apparent materials result in a building with character.
