Torres de Tajamar, Residential tower complex in Providencia, Santiago, Chile.
Description
Torres de Tajamar is a modern residential complex in Providencia consisting of four interconnected towers made of steel and concrete of varying heights. The complex houses apartments for approximately 2,200 residents along with commercial and office spaces on the lower levels.
History
The complex was designed and built in the mid-1960s, with construction taking place over several years. The project reflected the wave of modern urban development that was reshaping Santiago during that era.
Culture
The towers function as gathering places for residents, with plazas designed to encourage daily interaction and social life. These shared outdoor spaces form the heart of how people living here spend their time together.
Practical
Access is straightforward since the complex sits within the urban area and is reachable by public transit. Visitors can view the exterior and outdoor areas freely, as these spaces are open to the public.
Did you know?
The project showcased a bold structural approach with exposed concrete, which was relatively uncommon in Santiago at the time. This design strategy later influenced how taller buildings would be constructed in the city.
