How to make a very narrow and long footprint feel spacious, open, and full of light? It is the question for our recent renovation project of a 3-story townhouse, which is about 15 feet wide and 48 feet long. The key move is to relocate the stair that was between the entry hallway and kitchen, to be against the wall, so the kitchen can regain the previous hallway space. The floating-tread stair allows more transparency. Another important aspect of the design is the artificial light with multiple layers of direct and indirect lighting.
