River Plate Coast Guard Headquarters in National Navy, Colonia, Uruguay

February 03, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

Located in National Navy, Colonia, Uruguay, River Plate Coast Guard Headquarters was designed by Lambrechts-Bertinat Arquitectos. This landmark building acts like a beacon for the town and is an important visual reference in the river traffic between Argentina and Uruguay, making it one of the most significant statements of entry. The building performs a sculptured arrangement of planes and volumes differentiating the very diverse functions within: civil areas, offices and military activities. The predominant image is that of a civic building without any visible barrier or security element that could distort the relaxed atmosphere of the Coast Park linking the port and the walled city- main route for tourists and visitors.
