Desierto de los Leones 5547 Apartment Complex

Mexico City, Mexico

Description

Designed and built by Quiero Casa, the Desierto de los Leones 5547 project offers 233 modern apartments – with many “green” features – housed in three towers with views of the center of México City. The individual layouts are available as two- or three-bedroom apartments ranging from 71-110 m2 (780-1,210 square feet) in size, with one to two bathrooms, elevators, and underground parking. In addition to recycling rainwater, further highlights of the project’s sustainable design include orientation of the towers to maximize natural lighting and energy-efficient HVAC systems.


Products Used

The concrete mix, supplied by CEMEX-Concretos (also a Penetron partner), was treated with PENETRON ADMIX to ensure a completely reliable waterproofing solution for the drinking water tanks (capacity of 733 m3/733,000 liters), as well as the rainwater storage tanks; specifically, the stormwater tank with a capacity of 506 m3 (506,000 liters) and the cistern for the residual water treatment plant with a capacity of 488 m3 (488,000 liters). PENEBAR SW-45 rapid type B was also used in the construction joints of all the tanks.
