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.
Clever use of the house’s various nooks and crannies for storage and other necessary functions, also helps to create a home that is small but also smart and efficient.
On the outside, its striking wooden façade sets it apart from the other nondescript houses in the area.
As the world becomes more densely populated and homes get ever smaller, we would love to see more houses like this that make such great use of space and light.
