An Incredibly Narrow House Cleverly Designed To Look & Feel Much Bigger

By Dorothy Tan, 27 Nov 2013

In Nada, Japan, Fujiwarramuro Architects has designed an incredibly narrow house that sits on a tiny site measuring just 36.95 square meters, which has managed to look beautiful and feel surprisingly spacious.

In addition to a central light well that runs through the three-story house, the architects have also installed see-through, drainboard-like floorboards that allow sunlight to infuse the entire interior from top to bottom.

These gaps in the floors also open up the visual field and reduce awareness of the spatial constraints, preventing the sensation of being boxed in.
