'narrow house' by brussels-based architect bassam el-okeily is a three-storey building in bilzen, a small city near the eastern border of belgium. the project, which is a collaborative design with architect karla menten, features a dynamic and expressive street facade: a glass-encased layer of space that could be defined as an thin atrium, with two jutting look-out balconies that are skewed in angles and directions. lit up in a multitude of colours, the face of the 'narrow house' acts as a public light sculpture by night.
