"Doing more with less is always commendable" says commenter
In this week's comments update, readers are discussing a skinny house with exposed concrete walls in Japan, designed by local studio IGArchitects.
Named 2700, the 2.7-metre-wide home was built on a long and thin site left over following a road expansion in the city.

"Doing more with less is always commendable"Â
Several readers were impressed with how the design utilised the space available. "Doing more with less is always commendable," commented Jb.
"Another example of how strict codes and limited space force an architect to create something brilliant," wrote Duckusucker. "Japanese home architecture is easily the most inventive and attractive in the world." Puzzello was also full of praise, writing "great house ? this is urban density that only the Japanese know".
However, not everyone was convinced. Jack Woodburn called it a "concrete cave-like bunker abused by 24/7/365 roadway noise" before warning it was "likely at some point to be struck by a distracted and/or drunk driver".
Although they did acknowledge that it would be an "interesting take on a tiny home if located more sensibly".
