An extraordinary triangular house has been designed to allow a family to go effortlessly about their lives despite it being no wider than a parking space at one end.

The space-saving two-storey project features modern decor throughout with plenty of natural light and even boasts a spare room.

Crammed into the tiny 312.9 square foot (29.07 square metres) is a kitchen-diner, living room, bedroom, bathroom, play area and hallway

It was built at the end of a dead-end road on a acute triangular plot which is crossed by a river and another road in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan.

Perfect fit: The space-saving two-storey project features modern decor throughout with plenty of natural light and even boasts a spare room

Airy and light: Amazingly, the super functional design is crammed into a tiny building area and a floor space over two floors of 594.59ft (55.24m)

Room with a view: The need to maximize space is always high on the agenda of architects in Japan, as of May 1, 2015, Suginami, had an estimated population of 561,700 and a population density of 16,490 persons per kilometre squared

The river-side house which is currently called home by a husband, wife and their young daughter boasts a large bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and a spacious kitchen and living area on the second.

It even has a allocated parking, a spare room and loft space, the latter is being used as a play area.

The building design was led by Kota Mizuishi head of the Mizuishi Architect Atelier firm.

The 43-year-old designed the wooden, steel and aluminum structure between March 2010 and November 2010 and it was built in just four months from December that year to March 2011.

Steeled: The building matches much of its surroundings meaning even with its unusual shape it somehow still fits in

Double trouble: The bedroom is plenty big enough for two single beds or a double, but with it being a family home, the pole is merely for structural support

Nifty sofa: It might not look the comfiest sofa in the world, but this is where the family can come to watch TV

No stone unturned: Even the sliding door makes sure every single millimetre of space is utilised to give the house maximum capacity

Parking permit: Given Japan's population density, car parking can't be easy, but the house comes with its very own private space
