A skinny house clad in black steel by Apollo Architects & Associates slots into a tiny plot of land in Tokyo, Japan, and features minimalist interiors.
Named Jewel, the L-shaped home was designed by Apollo Architects & Associates for a couple with one child.
It measures just 1.4-metres-wide on its smallest side, and has a total floor area of 80.58 square metres.
The first floor balcony has also been lined with the same ceramic flooring as the living spaces to make the floor space feel bigger.
Other projects that the firm has completed in Tokyo include a steel-clad house that hides an "external living room", an earthquake-resistant house made of concrete and a monolithic black house that conceals an internal courtyard.
