Imai House - 3 Meter Wide House
The Imai House is built in the city of Okazaki in Japan, and was completed and erected in the year 2013. The plot covers an area of 3 x 21 m (10 x 68 ft). Imagine a two-story house in that little space, which occupies the entire width, and almost all of length. To make things easier to imagine, the width of the house is approximately equivalent to the length of a regular American family car. The exterior of the Imai House is pretty simple and inexpensive.
To make the Imai House a success, compromises were made, which includes the fact that the children's bedroom is only 1.3 m (4.2 ft) high, which means that the child probably wouldn't even be able to stand up straight in his own room once he grows out of it. But Katsutoshi Sasaki and Associates managed to design the layout of the interior so as to make the most of the 69 sq m (742 sq ft) of floor space that was available. The house has a small bedroom apart from the extremely tiny children's bedroom. The rest of the space is covered by a relatively more spacious lounge, dining room and kitchen.
