Gonzalo Bardach Designs Casa JR in Argentina with Thick Walls and Filtering Screens
In Argentina, Gonzalo Bardach Architecture has created a concrete house that balances thick walls with filtering screens to produce calm, deep atmospheres for everyday living. The screens control light and privacy, while a green roof adds natural elements.
Casa JR is situated in an Argentine neighborhood and relies on robust concrete walls to convey a sense of solidity and depth.
The filtering screens, positioned both vertically and horizontally, serve a dual purpose: they modulate natural light and preserve privacy.
A green roof, covered with local vegetation, provides aesthetic value as well as thermal and acoustic insulation.
By combining heavy mass with layered filtering, the design shows how simple materials can generate tranquil, balanced spaces.
Builders can adopt this approach to integrate green roofs and filtering panels into similar projects. Watching future developments in Argentina and beyond will reveal how this strategy can be expanded to residential and commercial contexts.
