Edificio Banco Santander Río, Modern bank building in financial district, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Edificio Banco Santander Río extends across 15 floors, featuring a glass facade and concrete structure in the heart of Buenos Aires.
The building opened in 1983 as headquarters for Banco Español del Río de la Plata on a site previously occupied by Royal Insurance Company and Canadian Embassy.
The structure's white median wall serves as a background for the Metropolitan Cathedral, creating a visual connection between financial and religious architecture.
The building houses bank operations from basement to fourth floor, while levels 5 through 14 contain rental offices and the top floors hold VIP meeting spaces.
The glass curtains of the building were painted white following a request from the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo to incorporate Latin American elements.
