The architects YYAA have built this family home in a high-density neighborhood in the city of Osaka, opting for the maximum use of rooms given the narrow diemnsions of the plot. Double heights and a light steel staircase are the elements that bring natural light to the six floors.
Description of the project by YYAA
This narrow house for a couple and their little child is located in a densely built-up area of Osaka, Japan. The size of the site is only width 3.4m and depth 13m.To make full use of it, the house is framed in exposed structural steel, covered with thin fire-resistant adiabatic panels, and contains six floors with split levels. Lv.1 (basement level) is a bedroom, Lv.2(ground level) is a garage, Lv.3 is for the little girl, Lv.4 is a living space, Lv.5 is a bathroom, and Lv.6 is a roof terrace. The expanded metal stair connects each floors and spreads the sun light inside. In this house , they are living like birds swinging from branch to branch.
