This house, project by Progetto Arquitetura, is situated in a rich neighborhood in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. Its construction has been finished in 2010.
The architect’s main idea was to take full advantage of Rio de Janeiro’s warm climate that allows you to enjoy all year round the exterior environment. The ground floor is completely opened to the back garden mixing social areas with leisure, outside and inside, in a single environment. The house is developed in an “L” shape, divided in 2 blocks, the smallest one housing only leisure activities, and support for outside activities, (swimming pool’s showers, barbecue, SPA, gymnastics). The interior plan of the main house is organized into 2 floors and an underground.
