I am not a rich person, but I am a happy one. I have a great family and a roof over my head, for me that is more than I could have asked for. But one day I hope to buy my own house! One that I can call my own, one that is my very own piece of land! Given that I am rather tall maybe I should have own one of these houses…
10 – Virginia, USA
At just under 7 feet wide it is not much wider than I am tall! But this is no new build, constructed in 1830 it is often called “The Spite House” and was built to block access to the alley between the two existing houses.
9 – Clapham, UK
How much would you pay for a house that is just 7ft 7ins wide and only 721 square feet in size? Try £800,000! This is, of course, London we are talking about and with living space at a premium people will try to make anything into a luxury home!
8 – Osaka, Japan
What I like about this one is that it is ultra modern and shows what great use of space a modern architect can come up with! This house might only be 9 feet wide, but a large amount of glass will certainly make it feel a lot more.
7 – Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
While not the thinnest on this list, it is certainly the most colourful. At just 5ft wide it is indeed worthy of being on this list, but I think the colour of it makes up for how thin it is.

6 – Warsaw, Poland
Enough messing around already, let me answer the big question: What and where is the thinnest house in the world? Well, it is made by Jakub Szczesny and believe it or not it is just 3 feet wide!!! And I will end this one with a quote by the architect that built it “It requires a sense of humour, as you cannot stay too long in one place.”
5 – Great Cumbrae, UK
This is “The Wedge” and is officially the UK’s thinnest home! And with a thin point at just 6.7ft, it really is a tight squeeze, and it is also in the Guinness Book of Records for having the narrowest recorded frontage of any house in the world.
4 – Matsudo, Tokyo
This house made by Yasuhiro Yamashita and Atelier Tekuto is called “Lucky Drops” is 9ft wide, 96ft tall! With its trapezoid look, it really is very impressive and quite modern!
3 – Massachusetts, USA
Believe it or not this house in one of the widest in this list! At 10.4 ft, it is a bit of a wide boy, but then again it is a 4 story house so some wide support structure is needed.

2 – Toronto, Canada
There are not many houses in the World that people would call “cute” but this has to be one of them. At 7.25ft wide and 113.67ft long it really is very thing but long, the racing snake of homes! Before anyone asks, this is a long way off being the Worlds smallest home.
1 – Charleston, USA
This impossibly narrow house is, in fact, an art project by David Hammons. Done is a Charleston single house style it really is very compact and even has an upstairs balcony!
