The Argentine construction and residential architecture sectors are experiencing shifts in methodology and design priorities. In August 2026, demand for dry construction grew as an efficient, sustainable alternative to traditional methods, despite costs for galvanized steel structures rising by 4% to approximately US$1,770 per square meter. Experts noted that while more expensive than traditional methods, dry construction offers speeds 25% to 40% faster and utilizes recyclable materials.

Concurrently, residential architecture trends are moving toward durability and functional design. Market preferences are shifting away from immediate visual impact toward high-quality construction and predictable maintenance. This is exemplified by projects like the LUX 715 tower in Cipolletti, which has reached 90% sales capacity by focusing on large dimensions and functional spaces.
