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.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The architecture cultivates a dialogue between built form and natural surroundings. By allowing each terrace and bridge to serve a specific function, the design ensures that daily routines remain tied to the rhythms of sunlight, greenery, and open air. Casa VIMA emerges as a house that is as much a sequence of spatial experiences as it is a residence, encouraging its occupants to move fluidly between shelter and garden.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1151224 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"casa VIMA\u00a0grizzo studio\" width=\"818\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/casa-vima-grizzo-architects-argentina-designboom-02.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>Casa VIMA is located in Bella Vista, Buenos Aires<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1151225 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"casa VIMA\u00a0grizzo studio\" width=\"818\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/casa-vima-grizzo-architects-argentina-designboom-03.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>a plinth elevates the residence and frames the transition inside<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1151226 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"casa VIMA\u00a0grizzo studio\" width=\"818\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/casa-vima-grizzo-architects-argentina-designboom-04.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>Grizzo Studio arranges the house in an L shape around a garden<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1151227 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"grizzo studio shapes casa VIMA with terracotta tones and shifting levels in argentina\" width=\"818\" height=\"942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/casa-vima-grizzo-architects-argentina-designboom-05.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>terracotta tones highlight the natural light coming from above<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Casa VIMA opens to Buenos Aires gardens \u00a0 Casa VIMA by Grizzo Studio is located in Bella Vista,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":175705,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[34446,648,1032,1033,171,99854,25017,8785,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-175704","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-architecture-in-argentina","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-grizzo-studio","14":"tag-residential-architecture-and-interiors","15":"tag-terracotta","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115092333876277034","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
