Alterna Interlomas

Alterna Interlomas represents an architectural repositioning strategy for a late-nineties structure located in a privileged node of Huixquilucan, State of Mexico. The project revitalizes this mixed-use complex—comprising a retail podium and a residential tower—to restore its market competitiveness and adapt it to contemporary technological demands. The primary intervention focuses on the building envelope: a newly designed facade featuring passive solar control systems and insulated glazing that drastically mitigate the site's high thermal incidence. At street level, the podium is reconfigured to enhance the retail offering and integrate new amenities. This comprehensive modernization not only elevates the district's urban image but also ensures resource optimization, safeguarding investor budgets through intelligent, high-efficiency design.
