In a dense historic urban area with a mix of small lots, the project focuses on natural energy and comfort to reimagine urban living. planned for a residential complex on a narrow 4.7m x 14m site, a continuous staircase to the fourth floor is integrated with visible storage steps to optimize space. The cantilevered beam on the east side doubles as a parking space and hobby room. The minimalist exterior is based on a white base color and poured concrete. Smart window choices enhance ventilation and lighting. The home embodies a vibrant lifestyle within its constraints.
