The project was conceived when a long-time client invited Pozas Design Group to develop a preliminary conceptual design for two towers in downtown Monterrey.
TALLEST SKYSCRAPER IN MEXICO SOFTWARE
Pozas Design Group places their success in delivering the Obispado building - from the original concept that won their client’s trust to achieving its monumental height - in their daring creativity and the architecture design software that allowed them to express it. Four stories shorter than the final design, the original concept already faced wind and structural challenges due to its significant height.ģD model of the two towers, built in SketchUp. It was challenging to modify the mature design and planned facade while retaining the original intent. At first glance, the additions appeared simple, and the changes may have been simpler if the project was not already in motion. The team realized the building only needed to be 10 meters taller to make history for Monterrey and Mexico. The vertical challengeĪfter the project was well underway, someone asked, “Will this be the tallest building in LATAM?” The process was smooth, proceeding from concept to construction drawings in just twelve months. Posaz’s multidisciplinary team facilitated conversations with stakeholders and construction managers from the start of the project, incorporating the client’s vision and constructible reality into the design. The client wanted a multi-functional building that serves the needs of its users and adds a harmonious note to the city’s skyline and nearby mountains. The Obispado tower was intended to be a landmark from day one. The hope for these buildings is that they will further expand recognition of Mexican architecture in the world.

The group combined a Mexican design style and values of service and human connection to create the Obispado and Rise Towers - the most prominent structures they had yet attempted. The vision for a landmark projectīased in the sprawling industrial city of Monterrey, Pozas Design Group specializes in residential and commercial design. Driven by continuous creativity, the architects share their design workflow and the technology used to create and adapt the 3D model. Now complete, the record-breaking Obispado tower in Monterrey, Mexico, is the first of two landmark structures designed by the high-end architecture firm. With clever, late-stage modifications, the firm added the needed height to make vertical history.

For Pozas Design Group, giving life to the tallest building in Latin America (LATAM) was not the original intent.
