Pyramid Tower

Mérida, Yucatán

Located in the Yucatán Peninsula, The Pyramid Tower is designed for an ever-changing volatile market. FR-EE proposed a design that works equally well for both commercial and residential clientele such that, according to market trends, the percentage of one to the other is flexible to adapt. The result is a mix of apartments and offices that occupy a volume, whose silhouette evokes Mexico’s stepped pyramids. The building is designed for optimal natural illumination and ventilation and incorporates solar panels into the façade. Vegetation on all terraces reduces the building’s cooling demands, as well as captures rainwater. These elements are a few of the resources that make this structure an icon of efficiency and sustainability.
