Merit Award — Landscape Architecture

Brandon Haw Architecture, LLP

The Oceana Puerto Madero Residences provide gracious living along the boardwalk of the historic Rio Darsena Sur canal. The structure is exposed board-formed architectural concrete, exposed on the façade, while the building’s balconies feature curved corners and are clad in bronze-colored fritted glass. A curated public park with sculpture gardens sits between the two apartment buildings and conceals below-grade parking and amenities through vibrant, colorful planting and pools of water, light and sculpture.

“The landscape is well integrated into the architecture and urban context while asserting its own nice moments for users and visitors alike,” the jury said.
