Monday Morning Photo(S) Mexico Edition

For today’s Monday Morning photos we have a project by LABor Studio in Chihuahua, Mexico, they transformed a historic office building by maintaining the facade and adding a contemporary addition to the home. 

The designer’s description

This house is located in the historic center of Chihuahua City, in north-central Mexico. This district displays a deteriorated urban fabric due to the demolition of a great number of old buildings being replaced by surface parking lots. The population has migrated to the fringes leaving an empty housing stock.
The project was aware of the importance of both the restoration and integration of architectures while demonstrating the possibilities of contemporary housing in the urban center.
