Long Thin House
Context Wings of Light107
Problem
A squat, deep floor plan leaves many rooms cut off from light and outside air, and makes the interior monotonous and closed in.
Solution
Stretch the house into a long, narrow shape instead of building it compact and deep, so every room gets its own light and cross-breeze, and the rooms themselves turn out more varied.
