Squeezed in between two Victorian style buildings in a narrow street in London is what appears to be an impossibly small house. Only three meter wide and eight meter high the house has caught great attention for its use of space and light to turn it into an attractive home. The whole front of the house is made of glass which maximizes the light and open space feeling inside the house.
Implications - While the house may seem extremely small from the inside, the inside of the house has been designed to maximize the use of space and light. Large amounts of light that enter into the home give the illusion of appearing much larger than it actually is. Can you see yourself living here?
