Edificio Nicolás Repetto, Residential high-rise in Caballito, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Edificio Nicolás Repetto stands 24 floors tall with three distinct sections, including a central tower reaching 70 meters in height and two lateral wings.
The building, constructed between 1948 and 1954, marked a significant development in social housing initiatives by the El Hogar Obrero cooperative in Buenos Aires.
The structure introduced Argentina's first self-service store system and included various facilities such as a kindergarten, tailoring services, and a pharmacy for residents.
Eight elevators service the building's residents, while its location at Avenida Rivadavia 5126 provides easy access to public transportation and urban amenities.
The building earned the nickname 'White Elephant' due to its massive structure, which incorporated central heating and cooling systems unprecedented for 1950s Argentina.
