Torre Dorrego, Brutalist residential building in Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Torre Dorrego reaches 102 meters into the sky with its distinctive curved shape that combines convex and concave architectural elements throughout its 32 floors.

Local cooperative members of the armed forces commissioned architects Caffarini, Joselevich, and Ricur to design this residential complex, completing construction in 1971.

The building represents a major example of Argentine Brutalist architecture from the 1970s, marking a period of architectural innovation in Buenos Aires.

The structure contains 240 apartments distributed across four sectors per floor, with each unit featuring two or more bedrooms and dedicated study spaces.

The building's semicircular design allows natural sunlight to reach every apartment throughout the day, while its foundation uses a Roman well system.
