See 'The World's Thinnest' Building
This house in Shanghai, China could possibly be the world’s thinnest building. Located
on Ningbo Road in the densely populated Chinese city, the home appears
to be nothing more than a brick wall, extending down the road. The
house is part of a triangular shaped block, and at its point becomes so
thin that residents cannot fit a chair in front of their windows.
Some have solved this problem by extending their windows into covered balconies in order to fit their lives into their home. Several bloggers have pointed out the building resemblance to the famous Flatiron building on New York’s Manhattan.
The
Flatiron Building was originally called the Fuller Building but
received its unique moniker due to its shape like a clothes iron. Located
on Fifth Avenue, the building has become a Manhattan landmark and a
popular tourist spot. It's value has been estimated at $190million.
Only Chinese men who are largely small by nature can fit into this tiny house
