Many architects might balk at the prospect of building a home on a 20-foot-wide lot. But every so often, a strong-of-heart (also known as foolhardy) architect accepts such a challenge, and when they do, a funny thing happens. The problem begins to activate the creative process, enriching it, making it unique, and ultimately provoking a solution far more thoughtful than the average home design.
We’ve rounded up a few beautiful (very thin) solutions below – also check out our past coverage of microhomes.
