Bloqe Architectura designs Mariano Azuela 194 apartment block after Mexico City manor houses

Local studio Bloqe Architectura created a four-bay apartment complex with a series of barrel-vaulted spaces that open up to rooftop gardens overlooking Mexico City.

Known as Mariano Azuela 194, the narrow building sits in a mid-block infill site in the historic neighbourhood of Santa María, which is characterised by late 19th and early 20th-century architecture.
