19 June Cooperative is a 84 unit  housing building that is part of Procrear II, a program by the Argentine national government that offers solutions to address housing demands through a policy of urban development and new spaces and infrastructures.
The building is located on a corner lot of 680 m² at the intersection of Av. Hipólito Yrigoyen and Chile Street, in the town of Piñeyro, in the Avellaneda district, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. It is an industrial neighborhood, at Buenos Aires periphery, currently being transformed into a predominantly residential area.
We propose solving the project with a two-level base, occupying the entire lot, which includes commercial spaces and a garage. Above this, we free up a tower with a free perimeter, with a central core that accommodates six apartments per floor.
The project features an exo-structure, modularly designed to achieve floor plan flexibility and resource economy. This external structure defines the character of the building and protects the facade from weather conditions.
