11ft wide family home

What do you do when you and the kids have outgrown your 11ft (3.3m) wide Brooklyn row house? What do you do when you love where you live and don't want to move further out to get that valuable space you need? Why you extend up and down but do it cleverly, making effective yet frugal use of the space. If the result is "a home that is not just larger, but livelier" then I guess you and the kids will love living in your special piece of Brooklyn. By Office of Architecture.

This is the most inspiring project I have seen in a long time. What a fine example practicality and beauty.

What a beautiful home. Well designed and livelier. European homes are of the same size, bigger home = more clutter.

It's exactly just right, all of it. And I bet your legs and butt stay nice and fit and trim going up and down all those stairs.
