Chicago Narrow House


Competition:  1st Place – Unbuilt

Location:  Chicago, Illinois

Project Data:  2,574 SF + Basement 1,333 SF


This project is situated on a typical Chicago lot measuring 25' x 125'. Due to the site's length and narrowness, the house occupies the full width permitted by zoning regulations, featuring a rooftop entertainment deck and a small backyard. The first floor showcases an open floor plan that invites natural light from both ends, fostering a spacious and inviting atmosphere. Large south-facing windows at the top of the stairwell cascade light down a feature wall, maximizing daylight penetration into all interior spaces. The front brick veneer and ornamental detailing of the facade pay homage to the historic brick homes that characterize this Chicago neighborhood.
