Edificio Paimun

Edificio Paimun is a 16-unit apartment complex in Quilmes, Buenos Aires. The building will feature a terrace, swimming pool and solarium.

The apartments were designed to conserve natural resources using solar hot water collectors, an inverter split cooling system, solar photovoltaics, LED lighting, a rainwater harvesting system, low-flow plumbing fixtures and more. Residents will benefit from the building’s energy and water savings with lower utility costs.

Edificio Paimun was designed by architecture firm Estudio Nietzel and developed by VAT Propiedades. The project has received an EDGE Advanced certificate from GBCI.
