Edificio Volta, Art Deco building in Microcentro, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Edificio Volta features a solid facade covered in black, gray, and pink granite at its base, with travertine adorning the upper sections.

Completed in 1935, this building served as the headquarters for the Hispanic American Electricity Company, which supplied power to Buenos Aires residents.

The architectural design by Alejandro Bustillo combines traditional elements with modernist features, reflecting the evolving styles of 1930s Buenos Aires.

Located at 832 Roque Saenz Peña Avenue, the building contains five passenger elevators and houses law firms, call centers, and university facilities.

A triangular plaza in front of the building showcases a monument to legislator Lisandro de la Torre, offering clear views of the facade.
