It's safe to say that concrete is one of the most utilized construction materials in large-scale architectural projects. In Argentina, the use of concrete to construct high-rise apartment buildings offers a variety of advantages, especially when it comes to durability and the time it takes to build. This has made it the go-to material for many architects.

Today, developments in concrete's application have sparked a variety of trends within architectural design in Argentina, perhaps the best known being the use of exposed concrete, concrete that is left untreated, uncovered, or unfinished, in interior spaces.

In this article, we've compiled a list of 10 apartments from throughout Argentina that highlight the functional and aesthetic elements of exposed concrete as a primary construction material.
