High Street House / Lineburg Wang

A tiny pre-1911 cottage on a tiny 253m2 site, the design works hard to find generosity. The project is limited by size. The house challenges the commonly prescribed room requirements of today's homes and works with strategies of expanding constrained space to ensure an outcome that does not feel small. Planning consolidates room types and circulation is programmed to ensure that all space is useful. A split-level diagram shares volumes and walls manipulate sight lines to edit out neighbors and instead invite long vistas to the adjacent borrowed landscape.
