ESHH Arquitectura has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Donado 1601 Apartment Building, a green housing complex nestled in the heart of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Balconies and Terraces: A Breath of Fresh Air
Each apartment in the complex boasts expansive private balconies and terraces, creating a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living. This design choice not only enhances the residents' quality of life but also establishes a visual connection with the vibrant cityscape.



Ground Floor Innovation
The ground floor of Donado 1601 opens up to a public linear park, setting the stage for a unique architectural experience. Commercial spaces and a double-height entrance amplify the building's accessibility and engagement with the community, making it a welcoming space for both residents and visitors.





Integrating Nature: Courtyard and Garden
A distinctive feature of the building is the thoughtfully designed courtyard that incorporates plants on every floor. This not only promotes a green environment within the structure but also provides a refreshing atmosphere for inhabitants. The rear apartments benefit from a lush garden, offering a serene green panorama.
