Rent to Own.ph: Another skinny house in a tiny lot, more proof that any space can be livable.

Japanese firm Fujiwarramuro Architects' Nada House is a narrow and minimalist home sandwiched between two buildings in downtown Kobe. Squeezed onto a small 397 square-foot lot, the skinny three-story multi-family home builds up to make the most of its tiny urban footprint. To maximize the amount of natural light in the house, the architects created an innovative series of slatted openings to allow a column of light to pass through from the roof skylights to the first floor.

The communal spaces including the living room, dining room and kitchen, are located on the second floor.

The kid's bedroom and master bedroom are situated one floor above.

A ladder provides access to the roof from a loft space in the master bedroom.

A column of light filters through the center of the house, passing through slatted openings carved into the floors and furniture.

The white walls, tall ceilings, and large gaps successfully create an illusion of space in the narrow house.

Stairs are located at the rear of the house.
