Nestled and tucked under the house’s main floor, this studio takes advantage of the building’s skirt wall on a steep sloped site that opens toward a great view. Green outdoor space is just a step outside of the door.

Architectural challenge was to provide a design solution that utilizes the irregular shape of the existing footprint, openings, and level differences.

​

At 300 SQFT, the apartment is a sunny, cozy, and functional place perfect for a person who lives a minimalist’s lifestyle.
