Large housed for a narrow city lot.

 

    This house was build on a very narrow lot,  is three stories high from the side,  two from the front, is on the corner of a main street with views in two direction.

 In order the the rooms not feel narrow, we designed the house to be high and used the full width for the living room and dining room/kitchen.
