Small House
Small House is an ultra-compact concrete vertical house that adds to the urban fabric of inner city Surry Hills in Sydney. The site is so small it can fit into the garage of your typical sprawling suburban home (7m x 6m).
As an exercise in urban consolidation, Small House proposes to build upwards rather than outwards by assigning multiple uses to single spaces, with flexibility for change in the future.
The house is zoned vertically, with parking and storage on the ground floor, sleeping, bathing on the first floor, living on the second floor, kitchen, eating and entertaining on the third floor and a working roof garden terrace, all connected via a series of stairs.
Small House investigates a new typology in the current urban living space, whilst still reflecting a contemporary lifestyle full of diversity and creativity, all for the cost of a city apartment. Quality of design with no maintenance and substantial access to outdoor open space, are key objectives for city living.
