Description
The Olympic Village Complex 6 project was commissioned by the city of Buenos Aires in preparation for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games to be held there and consists of three residential buildings located in the city’s 8th commune. These three buildings and an additional thirty five were built as part of the 2018 Olympic housing project. Initially they house olympic athletes and participants but after the games were used to meet local housing needs.The buildings has ten floors each, three of which are pulled back from the façade, and feature rooftop gardens. Classic reinforced concrete structures are used with hollow ceramic brick interior walls. These "zero impact" buildings are environmentally sustainable and use renewable energy.
