New York architecture studio Young & Ayata and Mexico City office Michan Architecture collaborated on DL1310, an apartment block with an exposed concrete facade.
Located in Mexico City s Tetelpan neighbourhood, DL1310 has a distinctive facade of recessed windows framed by twisting board-marked concrete.
Board-marked concrete is left bare on the exterior The concrete striation patterns on the exterior concrete casts are both a design intention as well as a way of working with traditional formwork techniques towards alternative aesthetics, Young & Ayata co-founder Kutan Ayata told Dezeen.
A total of 22 glazed opening puncture all four sides of the four-storey apartment block, each one rotated to created inverted bay windows.
