Meanwhile, the rear of the house was brought in by half a meter in order to increase the distance from the neighboring house to just under a meter, at 90 centimeters. This is a change small in numbers but huge in improvement factors for the building since the wide windows the designers implemented in the back play a vital role in increasing light and aeration flow in and around the space.
Inside, the textural décor is also carefully thought out so as to be both comfortable and minimal since the home is essentially facing inwards towards it. As such, the designers mainly used white wood flooring - except for the balcony floors which feature a rich brown wood while the walls feature a simple cement finish. The color scheme in terms of furniture and décor items runs the gamut of white and gray - from the deep gray large sofa in the living room, to the white and gray kitchen chairs, to the herringbone patterned, dark gray tiles on the bathroom floor - and is punctuated by wood furniture and stainless steel in the kitchen, the stairwell and cabinets. Glass is another texture that plays up beautifully through partitions that delineate rooms from each other while at the same time keeping the open plan, so crucial to the home's scheme, intact.
In short, House W is an inventive example of how simple solutions can have a huge impact in a small space and are ample enough to create a home environment which lacks in nothing but has everything to offer.
