Because this renovated terrace house is just 3.7m wide, space needed to be maximised, hence the multifunctional timber-wrapped core. This provides a home office on the side facing the living room. It also accommodates the stairwell, storage cabinets, a powder room and laundry, and a pantry and integrated refrigerator on the side facing into the kitchen. Skylights beside the core were possible because the upper level does not extend over this part of the house. The design is by TKD Architects.
