Torre Banco Macro reflects the elegance of a cosmopolitan city

Rising from the bustling business district of Catalinas Norte, Torre Banco Macro sweeps thirty stories into the sky with inspiring views of the river and city. Banco Macro is one of the largest banks in Argentina, with over 460 branches across the country. The company’s new headquarters is a bright and airy home with a modern bank branch, flexible collaborative space, an auditorium, a café, a gym, on-site medical services, and three levels of underground parking for cars and bicycles.

Discovering beauty in the balance of shape and form

Our work began with a five-sided building site that was not originally planned for a tower, presenting an intriguing set of creative challenges. We responded with an oval-shaped tower that would fit comfortably within the site and allow it to be highly visible from the neighboring park. As the tower rises, it gradually tapers to culminate in a smooth, curved top that gently meets the sky. The tower’s presidential-level offices have triple-high floors and a riverside hospitality room with panoramic views.
