La Equitativa del Plata, Art Deco building in Downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The eight-story structure features geometric patterns, cylindrical volumes, and decorative rings that culminate in a distinctive dome with a drum base.
Completed in 1929, this building served as the headquarters for La Equitativa del Plata insurance company during Argentina's financial growth period.
Architect Alejandro Virasoro incorporated Art Deco elements in response to the architectural shifts following World War I's austere construction period.
Located at Avenida Roque Sáenz Peña 550, the building stands at a central intersection with Calle Florida in Buenos Aires' financial district.
The building's dome forms part of a sequence of architectural crowns at the intersection of Diagonal Norte and Florida Street.
