XS
Size: 1,100 sf (2 bed, 2 bath)
Construction: Mar 06 - Aug 06

The final piece to the residential
compound, XSmall, what the
hell is this is, three rotated
16-by-22-foot boxes with
four-corner-skylights, giving
rooms natural light with
minimum windows and
maximum privacy, something
that is all too important when
there are four houses on just
two lots, especially when the
designs draw as much attention
as they do. The house is
finished in marine plywood,
usually used in boat-building.
The grain is broad and
pronounced, creating the
appearance of a huge piece of
furniture. Each floor of XS has a
different look and feel (marble
on the first floor, oak plywood on
the second), but all are
connected by a pared-down
wooden staircase that threads
through the space.
