Torre New York Life

New York Life Tower

The roundabout where El Ángel de la Independencia is located in Mexico City constitutes one of the country’s most important financial centers and a beloved national symbol where many manifestations and celebrations take place.

For this area, the client requested an urban landmark.

A landmark, yet, not a whim.

Globally recognized due to its technical vanguard and functionality, the award-winning office building is inspired by the majestic monument of the angel facing it, particularly by his plumage. A double skin wrapping the volume of the offices is developed as a thermal insulator.

The main lobby is located upon the top of the trees of Paseo de la Reforma and Florencia street, at the 7th level, enabling a close-up view of the angel.

The access to the sky lobby is made through panoramic elevators under a 30m high water curtain which acts as a filter that refreshes and transforms the impressive view of the monument as the users travel along the reception area.
