The design adopts a diagonal organization in order to gradate the interior from a compressed space at the entry to a double height space of the living room at the back. The diagonal is expressed and packed with a series of functional equipment like the kitchen counter, powder room, closets and stairway. As such, the issue of a narrow space is countered by a constant expansion and compression of space as one inhabits the house.
