The L-Shaped House In Barra da Tijuca by Progetto

Situated in Rio de Janeiro, this contemporary residence was developed by Progetto Arquitetura. The house was completed in 2010 and has an L-shaped floor plan divided into two blocks. One block is smaller and houses the entertainment and leisure areas such as the barbecue zone, the SPA, the gym or the swimming pool showers. The large block houses the rest of the spaces.

The interior is simple, featuring white-painted walls and ceilings, modern furniture, simple and neutral colors and an overall balanced décor. Materials such as stone and wood were used in the bathrooms in order to make them inviting and to connect them to nature through the glass walls.
