"The house upon completion shall become the narrowest house in Warsaw, measuring an interior that will vary between 122 centimeters and 72 centimeters in its narrowest spot."
Key phrase: "In Warsaw." Was there any discussion of it being the narrowest in the world? Or did I miss something?
- LiveTheDream 15y agoApparently the world's current official narrowest house is narrower at the front (47 inches) but expands to 22 feet. This one will be a bit under 60 inches the whole way through. By average width, this will be the narrowest in the world, not just Warsaw.
- Tiktaalik 15y agoFor "in the world" it may be between Vancouver's Sam Kee building http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Kee_Building http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Kee_Building and Pittsburgh's Skinny Building. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04151/322795.stm http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04151/322795.stm Vancouver's building is thinner at the first floor, but has overhangs on the second which increases its width. Edit: Hmm this is for "commercial" properties so there may be thinner houses.
- Tiktaalik 15y agoVancouver Chinatown buildings are pretty interesting. There's also a number of buildings with 1/2 floors. http://scoutmagazine.ca/2011/07/21/secret-city-on-buildings-being-john-malkovich-in-chinatown/ http://scoutmagazine.ca/2011/07/21/secret-city-on-buildings-...
