ALTA PLATA

Alta Plata is a mixed-use development that aims to create a new approach to commercial design through careful planning and curation of lifestyle, work, entertainment and development in a holistic environment. 

The emergence of an idea based on the mining town of Pachuca de Soto, establishes a synergy in the project and combines the components of infrastructure, urbanism, landscape and public space.

The main branches of use of the development include hotel, office and retail, with the aim of increasing the economic indicator of the area. This typography has been proposed as a stitching strategy between very different urban scales; a measurement between buildings and large surfaces. 

Given the configuration of the land, and with the aim of making the most of its potential, the plan is configured from an irregular geometry, composed of rectangular polygons connected transversely by several cores, which give rise to a dynamic volumetry, achieving the appearance of two bodies, two intersecting volumes. 

As a strategy for a better visual slenderness of the two volumes, a repetition of vertical columns is projected, which embrace an elevated volume enhancing the character of the building and creating a different appearance depending on the viewer's point of view.
