Edificio la Nación

Character: The La Nación building is located on the riverfront, defining the imprint of the metropolis in this strategic location between the city and the province. The architectural expression of the complex is based on the volumetric purity of the three structures, which subtly dissolves through the play of reflections and opacities of its delicate glass skin. These effects change constantly with the variations in the light from the sky. Its permeability helps to enliven this street, which becomes a commercial and gastronomic promenade.

Energy: The volumetric compactness optimises the energy performance of the three buildings. The curtain wall of the façades is composed of a triple screen-printed thermopanel with integrated interior sunshades that are highly energy efficient. The sunshades in turn reflect light into the interior of the floor, improving comfort.
