The Ariston Club is a building in Mar del Plata, Argentina designed by Marcel Breuer, It is part of the Modern Movement,  and complies with four of the five Le Corbusier's Points of Architecture (pilotis, free designing of the ground plan, free design of the façade, horizontal windows).

Since 2019, it is a National Historic Monument of Argentina.

History
Built in two months during 1948, it is the only work by Breuer in Latin America. Its construction was commissioned by the University of Buenos Aires School of Architecture, and it was also participated by local architects Carlos Coire and Eduardo Catalano. It was designed to promote the sale of lots in a nearby real state development.

Since 1993, it is abandoned.

Diseño
Its design, with a floating concrete double clover, supported by four thin pillars that are not visible from the outside - and featuring volcanic lava tiles-, surrounded by wave-shaped glass and wood, is considered to be ahead of its time. It was built using regional materials as well, such as the stone used in the back wall and wood used in the cladding and openings.
