Touted as "Antwerp’s narrowest house,” this Belgian office, residence and studio is of Kate Moss proportions but packs major style. Located in Antwerp's former red-light district, architects Pieter Peerlings and Silvia Mertens converted a 2.4-meter (7 feet 10 inches) wide space between two buildings into four distinct levels for living - one each for work, dining, relaxing and sleeping, plus a bath tub on the roof.
The floors are all wooden and a one-piece staircase transports you from the ground floor to the rooftop. The glass exterior walls allow plenty of light to flood the space and gives the illusion of living in something roomier than a matchbox. The large glass walls also allow you tap into the area's sordid past of exhibitionism by giving you permission to put your "business in the streets". The multi-color lighting scheme completes the seedy notion. This is definitely an incredible use of space. Source
