In areas where sporadic development often outpaces formal planning, the landscape often becomes a mosaic of narrow, elongated plots—a legacy of generations dividing farmland through inheritance. These slim parcels, each with single-road access present unique constraints and opportunities for a home. Unlike a traditional one organized around a central courtyard or the modern one centered in-between an expansive lawn, this house unfolds itself to the user in a different spatial rhythm as they traverse the length. Interior passages that provide access to sequentially arranged spaces run parallelly to outdoor green corridors with few moments of intersections that become the release spaces of the house

Two other peculiar design possibilities come to front. First- In the act of sequentially arranging programs it becomes evident, that among the different range of public to private spaces, the kitchen best holds the center- a space with fixed and multiple moments of activation spread across the day.

Secondly, while the plot may impose limits on the floor plan, it conversely offers remarkable freedom in vertical design. The elongated form becomes an asset when viewed in section, opening up potential for varied levels and layers. Floors and roofs can step, shift, and interact along the length in ways that would be challenging in a more conventional non-linear layout.
