Torre Madero, Office building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Torre Madero is an office building in central Buenos Aires rising 28 floors above ground level. It combines residential and commercial spaces under one roof, providing accommodation for various businesses in a prime location.
The building was designed by Argentine architect Estanislao Kocourek, who established his practice in 1960 as part of his family's construction enterprise. It arose during a period when Buenos Aires was reshaping its modern economic center.
The structure shapes the skyline of Buenos Aires' business districts with its sleek glass facade and clean lines. The vertical form and smooth surfaces reflect the high-rise development style that has defined the city over recent decades.
The building offers direct access to Buenos Aires' main transportation hubs, making it easy to reach by public transit. Visitors should know it is a working business building with limited public access, and tours are typically available only by prior arrangement.
The architect Kocourek was not just a builder but also an athlete, competing in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. He combined his architectural career with athletic pursuits in the 110 meters hurdles.
