Aidia Studio has designed and built the Centro DIF Comitancillo in San Pedro Comitancillo, Mexico.

Centro DIF is a newly built community centre in San Pedro Comitancillo, a small town in the state of Oaxaca.

The two-storey building consists of consultation rooms, a kitchen, meeting rooms and a multi-purpose open space for workshops and other activities.

The structure is laid out in five modules across the site, each crowned by a shallow vault; the facades are clad with concrete lattices and the aperture is driven by solar incidence and interior views.

The building achieves a simple sense of beauty by playing with different textures and patterns – while maximising light-shadow movements.

This project has been longlisted in the civic project category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
