Design Concept

Slender House is a private residential project designed for a family of five, nestled within a small and slender site measuring 6 meters by 18 meters. The vision for this
home was to create a space that not only stood out within its locality but also contributed to the cityscape.

The core concept driving Slender House was to punctuate the house with staggered cut-outs and strategically placed skylights. Despite the modest footprint, these
design elements breathe life into the home, infusing it with light, air, and a sense of openness. The architects embraced the idea of sacrificing total floor area to curate
a space that resonated deeply with the client’s lifestyle

At the heart of Slender House is the desire to foster connections among family members. Each cut-out and skylight serves a dual purpose, not just illuminating the
space but also creating moments of interaction. Whether it’s a shared glance from one floor to another or a beam of sunlight gently streaming into a common area,
these architectural features forge bonds within the home.In embracing the philosophy of “less is more,” Slender House emerges as a beacon of passive sustainability.
The deliberate placement of cut-outs ensures cross ventilation, allowing fresh breezes to weave through the house naturally. Skylights not only invite sunlight to dance

across the surfaces but also reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.Despite its slender profile, Slender House makes a bold statement within the urban
landscape. It stands as a testament to the notion that size does not dictate impact. By focusing on tailored spaces that enhance daily living, this home exemplifies a
new wave of design philosophy—one that values quality over quantity.
