The narrow house in the world
Surely you would be hard to name a comfortable home that is wide only a few meters. Most of these facilities are made in order to refute the myth that the meager size can be applied in architecture. I suggest you look at the most famous narrow houses in the world. On the one hand Keret House in Warsaw, built in 2012 - it is a house, and the other - an art project by Polish architect Jakub Szczesny. The first resident of the two-storey house was Israeli writer Etgar Keret, after whom he was named. This is one of the main contenders for the title of the narrowest house in the world. Its minimum width of 90 centimeters, and the maximum - 1, 5 meters. In one bedroom there where you want to climb the stairs instead of the window is equipped with a roof made of transparent plastic.
Some homes do not just narrow, and extremely narrow - if his arms in hand, you can touch the opposite wall. It is said that the house Long Beach in California was built on the dispute. In 1932, a man decided to prove that the area of 3 × 15 meters he will be able to build a full-fledged housing. The result is a three-storey house with two bedrooms.
Houses in Amsterdam
Once upon a time in many European cities, the real estate tax is calculated based on the width of the house. Therefore, from an economic point of view, to build a narrow multi-storey houses was beneficial. The result can be seen in Amsterdam along the main channel. Here are some home no wider than three meters. One of the city's main attractions include the house at Singel 166. Its width 1, 8 meters.
Dutch settlers called the New York New Amsterdam. Not surprisingly, there were narrow houses. House in Manhattan at 75.5 Bedford St width slightly less than three meters, and is worth about $ 3, 5 million. It was built in 1873. Now it has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and before it housed an art studio, confectionery and shoemakers.
In Japan, the land - it is such a value that is suitable for building a house, even a place, which in other countries is barely enough to park the car. Architect Yasuhiro Yamashita built a house on a plot of Lucky Drops, the maximum width of 3 meters.
Legend has it that the Spite House in Boston built a soldier returning from the Civil War. He saw that his brother had built a large house on a plot which has got two of them inherited from the parents. For returning brother remains very little land, but it was enough for the construction of four-story building, which closed the light of the big house, and spoil the view from the windows. The maximum width of the house 3, 1 meter.
When the narrow house squeezed on already built-up areas, such a move is not surprising. But sometimes designers manage to build an extremely narrow house in open space. Pie House was built in the town of Deerfield (Illinois) in 2003. Its width is only slightly less than a meter.
House width of 2 meters in the area of Old Town Alexandria (Virginia) originally planned not as a living room, a room for the carts.
The width of the two-story house in La Casca Estrecha city of Old San Juan (Puerto Rico) - 1, 5 meter length - nearly 11 meters. Now it wants to convert a art gallery.
The width of the house in Scotland Wedge the door a little more, a total of 120 centimeters. Further into the house extends to 3, of 3 meters. The house is brought in the Guinness Book of Records.
The width of the plot on which is built Skinny Building in Pittsburgh, only 1, 8 meters. He appeared after the decision was made to narrow down the areas facing the street Forbes, to expand the roadway. Most owners have sold their plots to reduce the city, and in this case, come up with a way out of the situation.
A similar situation happened to the plot on which stands the Sam Kee Building in Vancouver. Its width is about 1, 5 meter.
