What to do if you’ve got a 20 foot wide plot of land and want to build a home on it? Make the most of it! This 16-foot wide home—dubbed “The Shaft”—is a two and a half story structure that makes the best of its tiny footprint. See the interior, after the jump.The Shaft House is named after its center staircase, which runs through the center of the home, connecting the floors to one another. The interior shaft provides circulation and plenty of central light.
