Construction precision was paramount, with particular attention given to the glazing details, maximizing the potential of the modestly sized balconies. The result is an architecture that doesn’t just exist within its context but thoughtfully engages with it—an urban refuge that offers both connection and contemplation, a home that is as much about the city as it is about those who inhabit it. Borges 2275 is more than a residential project; it is an architectural dialogue between materiality, light, and the rhythms of everyday life in Buenos Aires.

A defining feature of the design is the recessed, sculpted balcony, set within the property line in front of the bedroom. This gesture not only enhances privacy but also creates a softened threshold between the public and the private realms, offering residents a moment of retreat without complete disconnection.
