The general concept for Esquina Tonalá comes from the pursuit of making an apartment building with two sides facing the street covered in two layers of skin, a double façade, to get the maximum use of the natural air circulation and sunlight. This double façade also protects the residences as a natural wrapping that produces natural shade for all the exterior spaces.
