Compact House
A compact house is a deliberately streamlined dwelling that prioritizes only essential functions and spaces. By optimizing plan efficiency, it reduces construction costs, utility bills, and ongoing maintenance expenses, and is well suited to narrow lots and dense urban contexts. Compact design fosters closer family connections and offers advantages such as efficient domestic circulation and ease of cleaning. This collection presents case studies demonstrating how a rich, high-quality lifestyle can be achieved within a compact footprint.
House Closed Outside, Open Inside
Walling off street views while opening broadly toward inner courtyards or terraces balances privacy and openness in urban areas. Introducing residential examples closed to the outside and open to the inside.
