Two-Step-Wide Houses
The owner of these unique houses shares the space with a feline companion, creating an unconventional yet charming living arrangement. The primary living area is on the second story, where a cleverly designed countertop doubles as a dining room table. This innovative use of space provides both functionality and style, making the most of the available room. What’s remarkable is how this area also serves as a landing for a stairway that gracefully ascends to patios on the upper level and the rooftop, offering a cozy outdoor retreat amidst the urban environment.
In addition to the primary living space, the house includes a mezzanine room, a washroom, and a bathroom situated above the sitting room. This vertical arrangement optimizes the compact footprint, ensuring that every square inch serves a purpose. Meanwhile, on the lower level, a comfortable bedroom and a cozy reading room create private sanctuaries within the house. The lowest floor is dedicated to storage, further emphasizing the ingenious use of space in these two-step-wide houses, where form meets function in a harmonious blend of architecture and practicality.
