How Small Is Too Small? Do You Have a Limit?. From the The 7.25 Feet Wide House to the Bike Trailer House. The 8 Smallest Places To Live
The 7.25 Feet Wide House
This is believed to be Toronto ‘s
smallest house. It was built in 1912 and it has around 300 sq. ft of space and is about 6 ft. wide. The price? $179,900.00!
linkThe Smallest Apartment in New York!
Zaarath and Christopher Prokop — and their two cats — live in the smallest apartment in the city, a 175-square-
foot “microstudio” in Morningside Heights the couple bought three months ago for $150,000. At 14.9 feet long and 10 feet wide, it’s about as narrow as a
subway car and as claustrophobic as a jail cell. The
bathroom is even smaller, barely spanning three feet.
link Roll It House
Roll It, a cool experimental house, resulted from the collaboration among different institutes within the University of Karlsruhe. This cyclindrical
design is a modular protype that provides flexible space within a minimum housing unit. Three different sections are dedicated to different functional needs: there’s a bed and
table in section, an exercise cylinder, and a kitchen with a sink.
linkNarrowest House in The World just 1 Meter Wide
This narrow house belongs to the lady in yellow – Helenita Queiroz Grave Minho , designed by her. She live in this 1 meter wide by 10 meter tall house in Madre de Deus, Brazil. At first, the municipality refused, but in the end with the plan allowed the construction, that became a touristic spot of the small town of 12,000
people.
linkShipping Container House
Created by architects Pieter Peerlings and Silvia Martens of Sculp(It), this illuminated 7-feet-10-inches-wide structure is a marriage of work and play. Steel walls, glass windows and a black frame make each level a living shadowbox for working, eating, living, and sleeping, in ascending order. A tightly wound stainless steel staircase allows residents to move from level to level, and up to the terrace for sun-bathing on top.
linkBike Trailer House
Paul Elkins originally designed this bike trailer to get around
the Burning Man Festival. There’s only space for one, and if you need to use the restroom you’ll have to resort to the great outdoors, but it is fully powered by a
wind turbine and comes equipped with a
solar-powered oven and heating system. In a space this small, you might not need anything more than your own body heat!.
linkBritain’s Smallest House
Situated in a beautiful position on the Quayside at Conwy, this red painted ‘one up – one down’ holds the title of the smallest house in Britain and is a tourist attraction. Measuring only 3.05 metres by 1.8 metres, this tiny house deserves its place in the Guinness
Book of Records. Once owned by 6ft fisherman – Robert Jones – the rooms were too small for him to stand up in. So if you fancy a visit to see what life was like without the simplest of luxuries – a bathroom – just remember, what ever you do, mind your head!.
linkMartin House-To-Go
Hurricane Katrina played a major part in Julie Martin‘s move from specializing in restoring historic homes to
building a portable, affordable, well built vision on wheels called the “Fresh Start.” Julie lost everything in Katrina, but gained a vision on building small homes from the experience. With the initial guidance of Jay Shafer of Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, Julie has started a new company called Martin House-To-Go with the goal of making an affordable tiny house that can be easily moved from place to place on a trailer. Or if you prefer to leave your house in one place it can be removed from the trailer and put on a foundation. With a full bath, kitchen and loft and quality throughout, I would put this tiny house high on my
list.
