AGo Architects are building a narrow house in Indonesia on a 3.5 meter wide lot.

In Indonesia, AGo Architects built a narrow 3,500 Millimetre House on a 3.5 meter wide plot. The facade of the building is covered with perforated metal, which forms a wedge and serves as a second skin that provides privacy and protection from the sun. The house is divided into several functional zones vertically - the first floor houses the master bedroom, the second floor houses the living, kitchen and dining spaces, and the third floor houses the children's bedroom and workspace. On the roof of the house there is a terrace.

Each room has its own purpose, indicated by the large pieces of furniture against the wall.

Many of them have a dual purpose, such as a staircase that is both a bookshelf and seating with built-in storage. The warm wood color used for the built-in elements contrasts with the cool hues of the polished concrete walls and floors, as well as the dark metal façade. The narrow plots of land forced the architects to be creative while saving space.

In Melbourne, Australia, Oliver du Puy Architects built a house on a 4.2 meter wide lot with a meditation courtyard in the middle.

In the Netherlands, Ana Rocha Architecture used sliding doors and built-in furniture for a house with a floor area of only 16 square meters. Photos by Kafin Noe'man.
