Sliver Houses - 3 Meter Wide Glass House (GALLERY)
3 Meter Wide Glass House
 Published: Apr 10, 07

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.

I'm certain it wasn't in the architects' conscious minds while struggling with this narrow and awkward site, but the main impact of the simple house they have produced in Elgin Avenue is an emotional one: the kind of emotion that comes from moving through small dark space, emerging into wide light spaces, taking devious routes, delving into cave spaces. The last thing one might expect from a very little house in west London is an essay in the essence of picturesque architecture, but here it seems to be. (yankodesign)
