In terms of the "architectural difficulty" of narrow buildings, many capable architects and designers in Hamilton have used the width -- and the corresponding absence of internal load-bearing walls and columns -- to great effect. Indeed, the resulting open-concept apartments are probably the best new residential spaces in town.

While relatively long spaces with limited glazing must be taken into account in an overall design, I would point out that these buildings predate electric light. The layout can certinly be configured in a way which maximizes the passage of natural light.
