Edificio Tacna-Colmena, Brutalist skyscraper at Tacna and Nicolás de Piérola avenues, Lima, Peru.
The concrete structure reaches 84 meters in height with 23 floors, featuring raw surfaces and geometric forms characteristic of 1960s architecture.
Built in 1960 by Propiedades Horizontales S.A., the tower became Lima's second tallest building, following the 86-meter Javier Alzamora Valdez Building.
The ground level formerly contained the Cine Colmena theater and Banco Popular del Perú, reflecting the building's role in Lima's entertainment and commerce.
The building contains residential apartments and office spaces, with a private access penthouse that includes a swimming pool on the top floor.
Engineers incorporated pioneering anti-seismic construction techniques in Peru, setting new standards for structural safety in tall buildings.
