Torres de Matheu, Residential tower complex in Parque Patricios, Argentina

Torres de Matheu is a residential complex of six 21-storey tower blocks in Parque Patricios, Buenos Aires. Five towers stand along Matheu Street with cross-shaped floor plans, linked and interconnected at their upper levels; the sixth faces Alberti Street. The five Matheu towers hold 840 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments over 72,946 m², while the Alberti tower has 82 three-bedroom and one five-bedroom units over 6,380 m².

Architects Miguel C. Roca and Roberto Fernández Llanos designed this residential complex in the 1960s as a housing initiative for commerce employees. The project represented a new approach to urban residential development through vertical construction methods.

Residents call the complex Las Torres de Matheu, though it has no official name; the project is recorded as Conjunto habitacional Brasil y Matheu. It was built for members of the Confederación de Empleados de Comercio, and the journalist Juan Castro spent his adolescence in Torre 3.

The complex is accessible from both Matheu and Alberti Streets, with clear orientation provided by the distinct tower arrangement throughout the site. Multiple elevators serve each building, making movement through the different sections straightforward for visitors.

The five Matheu Street towers are joined at their tops, so from street level they read as separate buildings but form one linked structure above. The sixth tower, on Alberti Street, stands apart and holds 82 three-bedroom units plus a single five-bedroom apartment, four units per floor.
