Spanning a mere 11 feet, this Brooklyn row house by Office for Architecture, known as Little House, Big City, has been strategically transformed to accommodate the needs of a young family of four. Instead of moving away from the neighborhood they had come to admire, the couple decided to expand their narrow, two-story home in order to make room for their two growing children. "We were very much motivated to find a way to stay in this neighborhood," explains architect Aniket Shahane.
