Goldsmith 55

Located in just a step away from the best shops and restaurants in Polanco, this apartment complex offers a lifestyle with the perfect combination of exclusivity and comfort.

As there is almost no façade to the street, we created an interior space surrounded by a vertical vertical wood in which the trees are oranges, so that we can appeal all the senses including smell, touch etc, and all the elements by adding fire and water.

The materials and finishes are natural stone and quarry. Each apartment has a private terrace with a metal frame covered in stone. The common areas compose a roof garden, swimming pool, fully equipped gym and meeting space.

The sizes of the apartments range from 170, 260 to 340 m2allowing the possibility of collecting plants.

GOLDSMITH APARTMENT BUILDING

These are some preview images of a building located in Polanco, in a “L” shaped lot. Due to special circumstances there is almost no façade towards the street, it was decided to have the life and views developed to the inside.

An irregular geometric pattern was created, with a random use of different materials such as cumarú wood, brass, transparent crystal, white ceramic crystal and limestone.

The first idea was to generate a “vertical forest” , that later ended up being more like an “orangerie”, this was a result of putting mandarin orange trees inside window boxes in order to incorporate, through this façade, the sense of smell to the senses that were addressed to. At the same time it integrates a vast range of elements like the water in the fountain and the fire pit that becomes the reunion center of this place.
