as revealed its design for a new office complex on the waterfront in Buenos Aires, which will comprise two towers joined by bridges topped with green terraces.该公司在布宜诺斯艾利斯海滨设计了一座新的办公大楼，由两座塔楼组成，两座塔楼之间连接着桥梁，顶部是绿色的露台。
One of the glazed towers that make up SOM's Catalinas Rio project rises 29 floors, while the other features 22 storeys.
Two bridges extend between them and slot into each tower like a jigsaw puzzle, leaving a large hole that frames views to the waterfront behind. SOM describes the feature as an "urban window".
索姆在加泰罗尼亚-里约项目中的一座玻璃塔高29层，而另一座则有22层。
两座桥在它们之间延伸，像拼图一样插入每座塔中，留下一个大洞，将后面的滨水景观框起来。SOM将该功能描述为“城市窗口”。
Each bridge comprises two volumes with a trapezoidal floor plan so that they appear to criss-cross each other's paths.
Employees can traverse the bridges either inside or via a landscaped deck featuring seating and plantings on top. Terraces are also embedded on the outer edges of the towers to offer views of the waterfront and cityscape.
每座桥由两个带有梯形平面图的体量组成，因此它们看起来纵横交错。
员工可以在桥内或通过景观甲板穿过桥梁，甲板上有座椅和植物。塔楼外缘还嵌入了露台，可以欣赏到滨水和城市景观。
The arrangement of bridges and terraces, which offer of 10,000 square meters of outdoor space, is intended for office employees to be able to enjoy outdoor space regardless of the weather. Open roof decks are better suited to sunny days, while terraces will be more sheltered from heat and rain.桥梁和露台的布置为办公室员工提供了10000平方米的户外空间，无论天气如何，他们都可以享受户外空间。开放式屋顶平台更适合晴朗的天气，而露台将更能抵御高温和雨水。
"The result is an unorthodox solution that aims to set a precedent in Buenos Aires office design, with a primary focus on wellness, open space, and creating a new urban identity," said SOM design partner Gary Haney.
SOM designed the Catalinas Rio office building for Miami developer Consultatio Real Estate, as part of a masterplan to extend the Argentinian city's Catalinas Norte business district towards the waterfront.
SOM设计合伙人加里·哈尼（Gary Haney）说：“其结果是一个非正统的解决方案，旨在开创布宜诺斯艾利斯办公室设计的先例，主要关注健康、开放空间和创造新的城市形象。”。
SOM为迈阿密开发商Consultatio Real Estate设计了Catalinas Rio办公楼，作为将阿根廷城市Catalinas Norte商业区向滨水区延伸的总体规划的一部分。Related story

Called Catalinas Norte II, the scheme will use new developments to reinvigorate the underused rail yards on the Rio de la Plata. As the largest project in Catalinas Norte II, occupying three of its seven lots, SOM's project is intended to become a hub of activity.
"The new plots acquired by Consultatio bring about new ways of coexistence and urban connection," said Eduardo F Costantini, president of Consultatio Real Estate.
"Thus, Catalinas Rio was born as a strategic project, a crucial point of contact and passage through areas destined for commercial activities, combined with green spaces and cultural, tourist, governmental and historical sites," he added.
"It’s a new icon that will change Buenos Aires' skyline view from the river."
The firm has proposed creating a pedestrian bridge over the former rail lines, the new highways, and the Rio de la Plata. This would offer a direct connection from the building to the river promenade, a ferry terminal, and nearby neighbourhood Puerto Madero.
SOM's towers will flank a public square, designed to connect to the street in front, the water behind, and inside each tower. The adjoining spaces inside the towers will comprise retail and shared amenities.
The scheme also includes vertical fins, horizontal shades, and light shelves that will be used to ensure natural light enters the workspace while also providing solar gain.
SOM, which was founded in 1936, also revealed plans earlier this year to transform a former industrial site along the river in Chicago into a "new urban destination".
