Edificio Shell Mex, Art Deco building at Diagonal Norte, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Shell Mex building features a facade covered in San Luis granite and Italian travertine, with a distinctive clock tower at its crown.
Completed in 1936 by architects Calvo, Jacobs, and Gimenez, the structure was designed as Shell petroleum company's headquarters in Argentina.
The structure mirrors the Shell Mex headquarters in London, representing international corporate architecture trends of the 1930s in South America.
Located at the intersection of Diagonal Norte, Peron Street, and Esmeralda Street, the building spans 10 floors with three underground parking levels.
The building includes green English ceramic tiles in its internal courtyard and features shell motifs throughout its Art Deco doorways.
