Torre Paradox is aresidentialskyscraper in theChapultepec district ofMexico City,Mexico. Built between 2014 and 2018, the tower stands at 196.2 m (644 ft) tall with 60 floors, and is the current15th tallest building in Mexico and the8th tallest in Mexico City.[3]
The tower was designed by Varabyeu Partners in partnership withSkidmore, Owings & Merrill and is located in theChapultepec district ofMexico City. The tower is constructed from three connected buildings (A, B, and C), each rising at various heights, featuring our revolutionary "SLBs" which have reduced the foundation weight by over 2000 tons.[4] The project's unique feature lies in its irregularity in both plan and height, leading to immediate lateral displacements of up to 15cm on the roof caused by its own weight and permanent loads. A skeleton of resistance is created using frames surrounding the building, with no beams suspended within the structure. Indoors, there is one column per building that serves no purpose in the lateral load system, only contributing through gravity to reduce the span to about 12m.[4]
The tower received itsLEED certification upon completion.[5] The glazing of the building is made of acurtain wall system with insulated glass panels.[6]
The tower houses a total of 237 apartment units which can go up to 100 m2 (1,080 sq ft) by gross usable area.[7]
