In 1912 This house was built between two much bigger houses. It is a fully functioning home with plumbing, electrical, pull out bed, kitchen etc. The builder and his wife lived in the home for 20 years after it was built. The pull out bed must be spacious.
This “stacked” little home made of metal zinc was built in 1999. It features a zigzag staircase in the center of the home, with a large bathroom and enclosed roof terrace. Homes like these are becoming more and more popular in Japan as the price of land lots have continued to rise.
Also known as the “Slim House”, this home was built between two larger structures and is only seven feet and seven inches wide. The house offers a small back garden space, 4 bedrooms, and plenty of storage.
