The Habita Hotel is from mr. Enrique Norten and his TEN Arquitectos right?
RIGHT IS FROM TEN ARQUITECTOS , IS NOT FROM BGP….
yep , Enrique Norten

but it was designed for bernardo gomez almost totally when he was associated with norten. i think Bernardo is the creative man behind all norten`s projects.
Those are really extraordinary renderings. Can’t have been cheap :)
Render?! which one? Those are real picture
the hotel is real no renderings, and yes Bernardo Gomez Pimienta is the creative mind behind TEN, hes gone solo and done some interesting stuff, but his time with Enrique was very good for modern Mexican architecture, now Enrique has been wining commissions in the US like crazy, definitely hotel habita is one of my favorites.
Hey Jesus, why do you think culture in general is so obsess with authorship. I mean, Does it really matter who is the creative man behind a project that took tens of people to achieve? Does that makes you gain more konwledge about architecture, about that building? I’m just saying…
hey paul,coz people is wrong saying the Habita it´s an enrique norten desing, just that….no more, an another topic, if you have a child, obviously, are you proud of him? or not?
It depends. Is the child cute or smart?
vaya de verdad que este enorme cubo…refresca la zona…pues parece un enorme hielo….de día
In mid 90′s the renderings were very rough.
Very nice design and good interior work, thanks for sharing.
