Skinny House / Oliver du Puy Architects

Skinny House is an adaptive re-use of a forgotten rear yard of a 19th-century Victorian shop. The site is only 4.2m wide (land area of 90m2) built of off-form concrete and dedicated to the rituals of modern living. Interpreting the Japanese concept of ‘shinrin-yoku’ or forest bathing – a practice that links immersion in nature to good health – the minimalist structure is animated by large apertures and voids which frame a series of vistas out of the building that become part of the landscape of the interior.
