Ablitt Tower

Lessons in narrow housing design from Santa Barbara, CA

The five-story Dr. Seuss-like home designed by architect Jeff Shelton, known as the Ablitt House is built on a 20-by-20-foot footprint and brings a fantastical approach to high-rise residential architecture. The Ablitt House is now a hotel.
