- The interconnectivity of the house on display. From the front hall, the owner can see up the stairs to the second floor as well as through to the kitchen and living room. Light floods in through the courtyard. Photography by Peter Fritz.
- While the first floor is open-concept, the second floot is the private space, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Photography by Peter Fritz.
- This back section of the house is the widest (16 feet four inches) and boasts an open-concept kitchen and an open area for sitting and dining. Because their main living area is set back from the street, the family can enjoy great views of the neighbourhood without feeling as thought though they’re on show. Photography by Peter Fritz.
- The design, by architect Rick Shean, is guided by the slim lot. It essentially involves “two boxes joined by a hallway,” says Shean, who envisioned this courtyard as a lovely outdoor space that also allows sunlight to flood into the south-facing windows in the hallway.
