Model tranfer center CETRAM Mitras is a complex where differente public transportation systems converge. It is located in the center of Mitras, Monterrey, a strategic point with issues management in between the subway stop, ecovia stop and the informal bus stop, beacuse there is not an aproppiate infraestructure to cover the influx of persons.

The project revolves around a main plaza, keeing the actual infraestructure of the superficial subway and generating a new covering which brings light and better quality for the users. To put order in this place, the plaza stays free just for pedestrian and bike users, and the ecovia plus bus stops are transformed to an appropiate bus station in the ground floor of one building. Furthermore, the complex has series of ramps that invite the bike user to travel around the building.

Finally, to bring life and economy support in this place, the buildings are used as a mall and offices in the upper levels. It counts with a market, commercial locals, restaurant zone and all the necessary equipment.
