Text description provided by the architects. Circular de Morelia 4 is committed to increasing the amount of housing on the property, which has a privileged location: in front of a circular park and with a seventy-year-old tree framing the main façade.

With the challenge of preserving a house from the beginning of the last century, it was decided to make the new building go unnoticed from the park. Through a set of volumes, the proportion of the old house is consolidated and articulated with the neighbors.

With a respectful intervention, a building with five floors of housing with nine apartments is created, which contributes to the densification of the city center in an area of latent expansion and cultural richness.
