TIM Arquitectos’s house adopts Brazilian architectural elements
TIM Arquitectos reveals Casa Rio, a residence in Buenos Aires that adopts elements from Brazilian architecture and blends them with the functional needs of a family home. A closed volume in the front of the house enhances privacy, complemented by adjustable sunshades that regulate light during critical hours of the day. This combination forms an adaptable facade, offering a flexible design. Rustic and low-maintenance materials compose the exterior, like exposed concrete and bricks at the front, paired with wood in the sunshades and openings. A curved, perforated brick wall encloses a semi-permeable patio, allowing greenery to peek through. In contrast, the rear facade of Casa Rio features large glass panels opening to the outside.

Casa Rio embodies the warmth of family living in Argentina
The ground floor layout by TIM Arquitectos accommodates a double-height living-dining room that offers views of the residence’s pool area. A partition wall separates the kitchen from the social area, differentiating the two spaces and their functions. The kitchen connects with the gallery, where the grill is located, facilitating ease of use. The Argentina-based firm pays homage to Brazilian architecture through Casa Rio. The project combines the warmth and functionality required for family living, creating an inviting home.
