Torre Saint, Art Deco building in Balvanera, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Torre Saint features two twin towers with bronze-tiled domes that have developed a green patina through oxidation over time.
Architect Robert Charles Tiphaine designed this structure in 1925 for Emilio Saint, an owner of the Aguila chocolate company, completing it in 1928.
The building incorporates Egyptian-influenced columns in its central corridor, reflecting the archaeological discoveries of the 1920s in architectural design.
The structure occupies a 19-meter-wide by 50-meter-deep lot, with two symmetrical U-shaped bodies that transform into an L-shape from the eighth floor upward.
The towers' positioning differs from typical architecture as they are arranged one behind the other within the lot rather than facing the street directly.
