According to the research, almost 2 million abandoned children are just in Mexico. The care homes or orphanages tend to hold more children than they can look after, providing less care and attention to individuals. Supervision and state regulations are lacking in Mexico City. Therefore, I proposed to build an orphanage on site. Through this building, I wanted to encourage a natural interaction from a child’s perspective; Delightfully unaware of their master, through a play of varying glimpses and viewpoints, children can playfully and freely circulate the home’s intertwining spaces to embrace the naïve nature of the adolescent awakening and spiritual enlightenment. 

Derived by intuitive physical models, the architectural language is a ‘tumbling toy box’ which aims to reflect joyous playtime. The design ambitions for the project are to accommodate moments of calmness. Colours are a delight for the eyes and soul. The Vibrant walls are driven by Luis Barragan’s house and studio, a world heritage property only 250 metres away. Simple on the outside to blend in with the rest of the neighbourhood.
