Between Rivers | The “Viewpoint of the River” of Gualeguaychú
It will be the highest tower in the country built in wood
The Mirador del Río is an elevated tower 18 meters high, built entirely of elliotti pine and taeda missionary wood, on a metal structure imported from Italy. It was located on the Paseo Península and will allow visitors to observe the natural beauty of the riverside landscape from the 8 floors. Due to its height and wood, it is the only one and the first in Argentina. It was developed by Eduardo Rubel for the Municipality of Gualeguaychú as a tourist attraction and strategic value of the landscape of the place.
An 8-story tower built in wood
The "Mirador del Río" is an elevated tower 18 meters high, built entirely of wood on a metal structure imported from Italy, which will allow you to observe the natural beauty of the riverside landscape. In total it rises to 22 meters high, by the final roof.
This new Paseo de la Península has a road network that begins at Bulevar De León and Luis N. Palma, with an extension of approximately 3,150 meters.
"The tower is located in the center of the Peninsula, to appreciate the meandering of the river," explained the person in charge of the idea and development of the project, Eduardo Rubel. The idea of the project is based on the strategic value of the place fully populated with vegetation and trees.
The Tower is located in the center equidistant between two channels of the same river, allowing a 360-degree view on each floor that will rise to the seventh with a height of 22 meters, its highest part being 23.50 meters
In Argentina it is necessary to break with paradigms about the use of wood in construction, it is necessary to break with prejudices, it is necessary to show the added value and technological development that the wood industry has achieved. You have to believe in the raw material we have. And what better than doing a work that allows everyone who wants to enjoy this space designed for tourism, well-being, recreation and the enjoyment of nature, that links wood with all its senses”, said Rubel, demonstrating his Passion and enthusiasm for the project, from the beginning of the interview.
"Today, wood is the highly sustainable material and the future of construction, that is indisputable"- Eduardo Rubel.
