From the Forum: Can a Narrow House Be Designed to Fit a Large Family?

A Brownstoner reader is on the house hunt and is hesitating over a house that’s just over 16 feet wide, wondering if it might be too small to fit the modern lives of a large family. What have other narrow house owners done to create a practical, comfortable living space while fitting in the maximum number of residents?

Please chime in with your suggestions.
