Designing a Small House That Lives Large
Open-plan living
Combine lounge, dining and kitchen to create one generous space instead of three cramped rooms.
Light from above
Skylights, a stairwell light shaft or a small courtyard bring daylight into the middle of narrow plots.
Built-in storage
Under-stair cabinets, full-height wardrobes and kitchen pantries keep floors clear.
Efficient stairs
A well-placed staircase saves several square feet on every floor and improves circulation.
Usable roof
A covered roof terrace or mumty room adds living space and room for solar panels.
Smart elevation
Clean, modern fronts with louvers or cladding make a small house look premium. House design →
