Slinks: Sliver House in London

Check out this sliver of a house. The design firm Boyarsky Murphy built it in an alley near London's Paddington Station -- and it's 10 feet wide at its entrance and 20 feet near the back. Via: Dwell Blog

I wonder how this guy gets along with his neighbors. The zigzagging around the neighbor's window completely blocked all light from that window.

The shadow's cast from another direction. It depends on how the place is oriented and what that window is to, I suppose.

The house seems awfully squatty to me. They're squeezing 3 stories in the same height other houses are doing 2, so unless the others have truly ginormous ceilings, the infill one is low. I'm also not seeing how the floor joists work with it.

Other than that, I couldn't stand to live there, but it's really cool.

The street photo is rather stark - November?
