Floor Plan of Casa LUAA by Ana Smud

The 5,000-square-foot lot had an existing brick perimeter wall, which was starting to crumble. Smud decided restore it, thus adding privacy to the glass-walled ground level and the surrounding garden.

Architect Ana Smud’s residence in the Vicente López suburb of Buenos Aires is surrounded by gardens and wrapped in timber, concrete, and glass.

A custom sink by Vola in the kitchen has a twin on the outside for washing vegetables from the roof garden before bringing them indoors. The shelves are made of wood from trees felled on-site. The main house, visible in the background, was the designers’ first residential commission.
