With its stepped massing and rugged stone facades, the building alludes to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains behind it.   Photo © Adri'n Llaguno Highpark Four different local firms were invited to design the apartment interiors, including one by Mauricio de la Garza.   Photo © Adri'n Llaguno Highpark The building rises in an affluent neighborhood.   Photo © Adri'n Llaguno Highpark Tables and benches on the plaza, along with stores and restaurants on the ground floor, invite everyone to come.   Photo © Jaime Navarro The variety of outdoor spaces, including balconies and terraces, allows residents to see and be seen.

Temporary landscaping, installed for Cineteca’s opening, has recently been replaced, with the topography now rising to meet boomerang-shaped concrete benches.   Photo © Paúl Rivera Cineteca Nacional Siglo XXI From the south lawn and outdoor cinema, an open-air concourse lined with a café, restaurant, bookstore, and ticket window leads into the Cineteca. The curving structure allows sight lines among the cinema’s social spaces, creating a see-and-be-seen promenade toward the covered plaza at the heart of the campus.   Photo © Paúl Rivera Cineteca Nacional Siglo XXI Presentation Drawing Showing New Theater Building (left) and Existing Screening rooms (right)   Photo © Paúl Rivera Cineteca Nacional Siglo XXI Photo © Paúl Rivera Cineteca Nacional Siglo XXI Photo © Paúl Rivera
