Braced flame on a narrow alley

The client said, “I want to build a tiny house,” and searched for a land of only 30 square meters. The atmosphere of the densely wood-framed residential area is unique in the sense of distance between the overflowing objects on the street, the living area of each resident, and the close proximity of the narrow alleys.
This house was designed from the type of tiny houses that line the neighborhood.The 3.0-meter building frontage was opened up, and small floors were stacked in front of and behind the interior to carefully participate in the surrounding environment.
In addition, three-dimensional braces were arranged to reinforce the floors, and the Sky Tree Tower can be seen beyond them.
