M99 is an adaptive reuse project of a 1970s building facing the Parque Mexico, a large urban park located in Colonia Hipódromo in the Condesa area of Mexico City. It is recognized by its Art Deco architecture and decor as well as being one of the larger green areas in the city. 

On the exterior, Michan Architecture’s designs add a continuous balconies that offset and follow the building’s curve facing the park. It also reduces the dimension of the preexisting concrete beam facing the façade by stepping the slab, creating an inverted stair result.
