Concrete Residential Towers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Huergo 475 is a Green-Tinted Concrete Skyscraper in Buenos Aires

— November 26, 2025 — Art & Design
The Torre Huergo 475 by Adamo Faiden is a 39-storey residential tower that reaches approximately 120 metres in height. The exterior uses exposed concrete with a green pigment and a grooved formwork texture that creates a consistent vertical pattern across the facade. The structure is organised around a central core with a flat slab system, and the overall massing includes horizontal shifts that appear as recessed floors. These shifted levels contain shared amenities including a gym, coworking area and communal kitchen.

The ground floor incorporates a public passage and a small retail zone to connect the building with the surrounding streetscape. Upper floors contain standard apartment layouts with balconies positioned along the perimeter. The roof level provides a partially enclosed pool and a planted terrace arranged to frame views toward the river and the wider city. The project adds a new residential profile to the Puerto Madero district.
