A narrow concrete house split in two by an uncovered central court, residents crossing the open air to move between rooms, the court bringing all the daylight and ventilation, dense neighbouring buildings pressing close, clear sky above the slot, eye-level composition, 28mm lens, ultra photorealistic, 8K
