A compact dwelling proposal that extends living space from a simple gabled volume into a deck and a sheltered garden.
The concept plans place living, dining and service spaces on the ground floor, with a sleeping loft above. Privacy walls and the outdoor deck help shape the relationship between the small interior and the garden.
