Torre Reforma merges heritage preservation with structural innovation, redefining the urban landscape of Mexico City.
A historic early 20th-century house, protected by the INBA, was integrated into the building's main lobby and now houses commercial spaces. To preserve it, the house was temporarily relocated, structurally reinforced, and later restored in its original position.
Rising 57 stories, the tower features a striking triangular form defined by two 246-meter concrete walls that resemble an open book. Its third façade, made of glass with steel tension rods, leans over the historic house, framing privileged views of Chapultepec Park. The design maximizes natural light intake and effectively dissipates seismic energy.
LEED Platinum certified, Torre Reforma incorporates zoned elevators, a robotic parking system, and a water reuse system that captures and recycles 100% of rainwater and wastewater, combining sustainability and efficiency in a world-class architectural landmark.
