Casa VIMA is located in Bella Vista, Buenos Aires, arranged in an L shape that shields interiors from the street while orienting main living spaces toward the garden. The house sits on a plinth that mediates the transition between exterior and interior. Varied ceiling heights create sequences of atmospheres where changes in volume let light and shadow animate rooms. Dark terracotta tones emphasize overhead natural light and give the interiors a timeless character. Galleries, terraces, and floating bridges extend interior spaces outward and connect the house to existing trees and landscaped areas. Terraces serve specific functions, including a north-facing vegetable garden linked to the kitchen and a panoramic upper terrace accessed by a curved bridge around a tree.
Casa VIMA by Grizzo Studio is located in Bella Vista, Buenos Aires, where its architecture balances enclosure and openness on a corner lot. The residential project is organized in an 'L' shape, shielding the interiors from the street while directing the main living spaces toward the garden. The house rests on a plinth that mediates the transition between exterior and interior. A thoughtful variation in ceiling heights creates a sequence of atmospheres, where shifts in volume allow light and shadow to animate the rooms.
The architects at Grizzo Studio extend the interiors outward through galleries, terraces, and floating bridges that link Casa VIMA to its garden. The design negotiates carefully with existing trees, carving voids into its form to accommodate their presence. At the entrance, a reflecting pool mirrors the sunshades and frames a single tree. A north-facing terrace holds a vegetable garden connected directly to the kitchen, while on the upper level, a curved bridge leads around a tree toward a panoramic terrace.
