Wow. a little scary but well designed !

No joke... when I looked at the fourth picture, I involuntarily took a very deep breath... Who knew I was claustrophobic? :\

That is not a house for me.

Impressive but I would definitely say that is a house... not a home.

Good way to limit house guest visits

It is a house AND a home. In some parts of the world, they just don't have the luxury of space; that's the reality for many people.

Thank goodness it's an art installation. Not only would it be claustrophobic, but I bet you it's cold in the winter.

This is a good use of vertical space. The thought that some cities are so crowded and expensive that we need small dwelling spaces like this kind of freaks me out. It is one thing not to own many belongings, but I would think the physical dimensions of the space itself would be uncomfortable. There's a reason people's physiological response to this is to cringe. I mean, is that a beanbag stuffed in a corner? Feels like an afterthought to me. Who sits in beanbags, anyways?

If I lived in this home, I think you'd find me out and about a lot more often than I'd be home. If you enjoy socializing and exploring the city, I suppose this home could work for you.

What's interesting is that they very nearly made a 4'-wide space work. Prison cells are wider than 4', and yet this weird sliver of a house has a definite feeling of airiness.

Imagine how clever design like this could help in space-challenged cities.

This seems to be a waste of space for me personally. There is so much that is open and empty but not in the right ways. i am not saying that every nook and cranny needs to be filled with something, but, there is just so much space that isn't being used for anything and it's not a huge space to begin with.

8th picture...gulp! I like the idea, but I don't think I personally could take it.

Amazing, I love these skinny houses.

Very cool!
I live in a house that is 12 feet wide. The space works incredibly well for me and my family. I think North Americans in general believe we need much more space to live than we actually do.

Too narrow, too white, too cold for my taste.
KRISTEN S: I live in No America and I agree with you. I live in a 1022 Squart Foot condo and sometimes I think it's too much for me but I'm single. I see alot of small cool spaces on AT and I think that maybe I could have gone smaller and purchased something by the ocean where I want to be...but never say never.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this... I would not live in it full time (what with a husband, two kids and out of town guests all the time) BUT I would do a somersault to be able to stay in one on vacation! So much more unique and fascinating than a hotel. Wow. I wish I could visit it!

Like it. The sparseness, was no doubt intentional to better show the structure. Not sure how you get out and down from the bed; don't see the ladder rungs. I'd like to try living in it, but sure would stop always coming home with a 'great find' for the house.

I agree with Kanberra - this would make a great vacation/retreat house for a week. Or a series of them could be stood triangular shoulder to shoulder to make short-term housing for refugees and disaster relief.

I love this. Compact but airy. My partner and I live in 650 right now but have lived in 400 sq ft quite successfully. I would love the novelty.

Errr....bathroom?

Don't come home drunk. Or sick with a stomach problem (found the bathroom).

Slip off the vertical ladder - and fall down the stairs, if you forgot to close the hatch.

This is an art piece, not a solution to small space living.
