Edificio Laminar Plaza, Commercial building in Retiro district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Edificio Laminar Plaza is a commercial building in the Retiro neighborhood known for its prismatic shape and horizontal stripe pattern on the facade. The structure spans 20 levels, with most space dedicated to office use while lower areas provide parking.
The building was completed in 1999 as part of the Catalinas Norte project, which Buenos Aires Municipality had conceived as a redevelopment plan during the 1960s. Its construction reflected decades of urban renewal planning for the area.
The building shaped the neighborhood through its minimalist form and shows how modern office design changed the face of Buenos Aires. Visitors notice the horizontal white stripes that give the facade a rhythmic visual language.
Access to the building is well organized with separate elevator groups serving different zones and ensuring smooth movement. As a commercial office building, it operates under standard business hours with access restrictions similar to other corporate complexes.
The exterior combines a dual-layer aluminum curtain wall system with dark-tinted thermopane glass that not only protects but also filters light in distinctive ways. This facade detail creates subtle depth that changes appearance depending on time of day and light angle.
