A Clever Micro House That Maximizes Every Centimeter

At just four meters wide, the Slim Fit house by Ana Rocha Architecture demonstrates how smart design can turn a micro footprint into a livable home. Located in Almere Poort, Netherlands, this three-story timber structure offers 50 square meters of living space on a 16-square-meter base—smaller than a double parking spot.

The design uses space-saving solutions like sliding plywood panels, built-in birch plywood furniture, and an open-plan layout that runs the full width of the house. A pine staircase with integrated bookshelves eliminates the need for doors while creating visual flow.

Constructed from sustainable materials like Ayous hardwood and birch, the house also features large windows, heat-resistant glass, and natural ventilation. Designed for compact urban infill, Slim Fit caters to city dwellers who value sustainability, centrality, and simplicity without sacrificing comfort.
