Architect Roxana Vargas-Greenan guides you room by room through this infill home, which—despite being skinny—is packed with design details and options for flexibility that earned the house a People's Choice Award in a design competition in Portland, Ore. The home also earned certification from Earth Advantage, Portland's local green-building authority.

To learn more about the features and materials Roxana and her partner Trent incorporated in their design, read A Small, Spacious House for a Skinny City Lot from Fine Homebuilding issue #196 (June/July 2008), pp.70-73.
