The Japanese are masters of building on slivers of land and maximizing tiny lots in dense urban areas. Americans less so; New Zealand-born, LA-based architect Simon Storey is a refreshing exception.<\/p>\n

Storey, who founded Anonymous Architects in 2005 (named thus as he likes his buildings to blend into an environment), took a 15-foot-wide Echo Park lot with a tiny house above a garage and turned it into a vertical, light-filled two bedroom home and office. It was, as he puts it, \u201cthe perfect site to experiment with compact and efficient urban living.\u201d Read on to see the results.<\/p>\n

Above: An open staircase with floating beech treads brings light into the living area.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: The kitchen features a concrete floor, Douglas fir cabinetry, and Formica countertops; it sits at a lower level from the wood floored dining area as a way to delineate space in the open living quarters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: Large floor-to-ceiling windows at the front and back of the house provide plenty of light. Full-height doors open onto a guard rail, allowing for cross breezes. The Wow and Flutter Speaker was made by Storey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: Storey designed his own wallpaper, called Torn and Confused, for the bedroom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: A roof deck with built-in seating affords views that extend as far as the Hollywood sign and the San Gabriel Mountains.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: Since the building extends to the property line, fire code required the exterior to be fire resistant, so Storey clad the house with cement plaster.<\/p>\n
