a building compensating the side effects of a sleeping city

moncayo club house is a community center for a typical middle class sleeping city in the outskirts of mexico city. 

on a social level, the project is an attempt at giving back some of the urbanity a sleeping city usually does not offer; it intends to bring people together and thus fulfills their needs of community life. 

the building is strategically located at the entry point to the neighborhood, serving as a recognizable landmark for inhabitants and visitors alike. it’s all about openness and not seclusion, by stimulating urban integrity.
