On a narrow lot in San Isidro, a suburb of Buenos Aires on the banks of the Río de la Plata, architect Ángel Jorge of Ábode Arquitectos and his wife, Rocío Noya, set out to develop a household home immersed in greenery despite its compact footprint. With just 1,700 square feet of functional land, their response was to construct vertically– 3 stories, plus a basement– while discovering room for nature at every turn: a front lawn with a slender pool, a densely planted rear patio, and 2 tiered green roofing systems.
