Aleph Residences
As a tribute to another Buenos Aires icon, we named the apartment building the Aleph Residences after the short story by Jorge Luis Borges. In the story, the “aleph” is a point in the universe where all other points can be seen. Ceilings designed as traditional bovedillas, double-height living spaces, terraces, and open courtyards created a living masterpiece experience that enriched and nourished people’s lives.

”This project, which appears in what until recently was a virtually obscure, abandoned place, will emerge the light, the heart of centuries to come... we will see in this devastated place death transformed into a center of energy.”
