Ateliers Tres Sargentos 422 by Sánchez, Lagos y de la Torre: Modern Artist Housing in Buenos Aires
Completed in 1937 on Pasaje Tres Sargentos in Buenos Aires, Ateliers Tres Sargentos 422 is a compact rental building that joined domestic life to artistic production through double-height rooms, mezzanines, and carefully compressed service spaces. Designed by Sanchez, Lagos y de la Torre, it remains a precise example of how Argentine modernism tested new forms of collective housing at the atelier scale. Tres Sargentos’ architectural significance was reinforced by its inhabitants.
