Narrow Habitation

Can you actually stay in a house with 1 meter wide by 10 meters tall?



A house calls attention in Madre de Deus, Brazil; it has three floors and even the builder had faith in what he built. Helenita, the designer and the owner of the house who is now living happily inside. 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.








The house is a bit wider, but only at the back. It’s 1m wide at the entrance and 2m wide at the back - and 10m tall, with 3 floors. It’s amazing what this simple woman did with a such small piece of land without any architectural help
