This house for a family of four with a building area of 26 m2 was built on a site of only 45 m2, sandwiched between a 3.3 m wide north-front road and a 1.3 m wide south-front alley in a dense urban area. The site was narrow, but with clues to the possibility of creating a light environment in the small vacant lot on the south side. The aim was to maximize the floor space in the narrow and dense site while still providing sufficient daylight.
