Tokyo, Japan

With a frontage measuring 3.6 meters and a depth of 11.8 meters, this type of small home is nicknamed an “eel’s cave” in Japanese. Despite the space restrictions, the architects succeed in creating a sense of depth by including a central courtyard that opens up lines of sight in the three-dimensional structure.
