The "22'x110' House" addresses the constraints of a narrow site with a 22-foot frontage and a 110-foot depth. With neighboring properties in close proximity along the north and south sides, the design became an opportunity to harmonize exterior and interior elements through a refined selection of materials, textures, and colors.
