From the architect. This narrow house for a couple and their little child is located in a densely built-up area of Osaka, Japan. The size of the site is only width 3.4m and depth 13m.

To make full use of it, the house is framed in exposed structural steel, coverd with thin fire – resistant adiabatic panels, and contains six floors with split levels.

The expanded metal stair connects each floors and spreads the sun light inside. In this house, they are living like birds swinging from branch to branch .
