#tinyhouse #smallhouse #minimalisthome #compacthouse Architects: S Design Farm Area: 122 m² Year: 2021 Photographs: Koichi Torimura Location: Ota City, Japan Murakoshi House by S Design Farm is a compact urban residence that transforms the challenges of a pentagon-shaped corner site into architectural opportunities. Designed with a raised foundation to address flood risks and a central open void to bring natural light and ventilation deep into the home, the house balances privacy, comfort, and environmental performance behind its closed metal exterior. Warm timber interiors, efficient spatial planning, and energy-conscious design create a bright, functional living environment that demonstrates how thoughtful architecture can make a small city home feel both spacious and resilient.
