    Compact House × Visual Control

    View project photos for Compact House and Visual Control.

    Follow your intuition to save photos that catch your eye. Explore spatial designs to uncover implicit preferences you haven't yet put into words.

    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 Controlling Lines of Sight

    Strategic window placement, height, and landscaping balance openness and privacy by blocking street views while capturing sunlight. Introducing residential examples with precise visual control.
