Most of us would have difficulty visualizing what a 52m2 (570sq ft) building lot looks like. Think 7 metres x 7 metres (22′ x 22′). Now turn it into a triangle, add some building code challenges and then put a home for three on it! It certainly challenges Western thinking.By avoiding the use of internal walls and also adding vertical interest, this home achieves a sense of space much greater than its physical attributes.
