墨西哥城中心现有一座引人注目的塔楼，新型办公设施的典范，同时对大都市丰富的建筑遗产保持敏感。
Mexico City represents one of the most important cultural and commercial centers in Latin America. As the city’s economy continues to thrive, it is our intention to develop a project that is sensitive to the history of Mexico and its rich architectural legacy.
Torre Cuarzo on Reforma will be located along Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City. This distinguished Boulevard was designed to commemorate the history of the Americas and has become a major commercial thoroughfare that cuts diagonally across the city. Sitting boldly along this Boulevard, the proposed development is a mixed-use building complex designed by Richard Meier & Partners in collaboration with Diametro Arquitectos who also acted as the project’s developer.
The new development is comprised of two buildings unified by a base. An iconic 40-story mixed-use tower that will accommodate a range of programs; such as high end offices, retail space, restaurants, a fitness center and space for parking. In addition, a 27 floor Hotel tower that follows the same design principles as its counterpart will complement the activities of the complex. The overall design of the project considers the current constraints of the city while accounting for the possibility of future development and change of its surroundings.
The project’s design operations challenge typical tower conventions. By strategically carving a central void through the tower volume, structure and program become redistributed into unconventional yet efficient configurations. The new possibilities of this internal logic are reflected on the exterior through volumetric cut-outs. A gesture that allows maximizing internal natural light and natural ventilation within the center of the office floor spaces improving transparency and emphasizes views of the historic city center and Reforma Boulevard.
The iconic image of the new towers will establish a dynamic relationship between the buildings and the existing fabric of Mexico City; while creating a visual statement which defies traditional tower typologies.

该公司的设计计划为墨西哥城繁荣的经济和文化做出了积极回应。该开发项目大胆地坐落在Paseo de la Reforma大道上，这是一条著名的大道，旨在纪念美洲历史，也是穿过城市的主要商业大道。该开发项目是一个多功能建筑群，由该公司与当地建筑师Diametro Arquitectos合作设计，他们也是该项目的开发商。新建筑的标志性形象与墨西哥城的现有结构建立了重要的关系，同时创造了一种颠覆传统塔楼类型的引人注目的原创视觉陈述。
新开发项目由两座建筑组成，由一个共享基地统一。一座40层的混合用途塔楼可容纳一系列项目，包括高端办公室、零售空间、餐厅、健身中心和停车位。一座27层的塔楼遵循与其对应建筑相同的设计原则，补充了综合体的活动。该项目的总体设计考虑了当前的城市限制，同时也考虑了未来发展的可能性。
中央空隙巧妙地穿过塔楼体积，使建筑物的结构和功能可以重新分配到非常规但高效的配置中，从而最大限度地利用所有空间的日光。这种内部逻辑的新颖可能性通过建筑外部的额外体积切口得到增强，最大限度地提高了整个办公室的自然光和通风，同时也强调了历史悠久的市中心的景观。
