Plot dimensions agree with the stated plot area. The 1,207 sq ft figure comes from the August 2023 ground-floor plan. The June 2026 set shown below includes an upper-floor bedroom and terrace, but supplies no revised floor-area schedule or whole-building total.

The design

Making a narrow plot work for everyday life.

Work near the entrance

The office occupies the front of the plan, beside the entrance lobby. This gives work-related visits a place close to arrival while keeping the bedrooms farther inside the house.

A shared centre, with private rooms beyond

Living and dining share a long hall, with the kitchen alongside the dining end. Three bedrooms occupy the deeper part of the ground floor, connected by a short continuation of the hall.

Openings within a deep plan

Four small open-to-sky spaces interrupt the enclosed footprint. Their positions provide opportunities for light and ventilation beside bedrooms and the inner circulation, where the narrow site limits exposure to the outside.

The house above ground level

The entrance stair continues to an upper-floor bedroom and an open terrace. Both have been built, extending the home beyond its main ground-floor accommodation.

The architectural drawings

A compact home, explained in six drawings.
