House 20x3 / Tim de Graag
This narrow 18th century house in the south west of the Netherlands had been in decay since the 70?s when it lost its historical exterior and had lain empty for several years. Essentially reduced to just a 3-meter wide shell by the time the owner purchased it, the property, like similar houses in the area, presented a number of challenges to overcome before it could become a modern and workable home ? long dark corridors, poor privacy caused by the ground floor windows facing the street, and critically a lamentable lack of daylight throughout the house. Dutch architect Tim de Graag recently finished the transformation of this residence.
