Text description provided by the architects. The building occupies an unusual lot in a street cut by the railroad tracks. The surroundings has special features such as two lands in the opposite block owned by National Parks, which are not going to be built in the future: behind them and at the end of the street run the railroads, creating a green corridor within the urban network. While measures of the lot are common in Buenos Aires (8.66 x 25 meters) it is disposition, with the long side parallel to the street which makes it peculiar. For this reason, the building has a singular front facade which is defined as a display volume that provides a particular formal dialogue with CAPAYBI 1971 building, from the architect Alfredo Joselevich, father and grandfather of two of the authors of the project, located on the same block.
