Cool house in Antwerp – Belgium
One of the buildings that we missed out in Monday’s “narrowest buildings in the world” post was this tiny house in Antwerp’s red light district.
Designed by architect couple Pieter Peerlings & Silvia Mertenand, it was built in no more than 3 weeks apparently! But that’s not the only crazy thing about it… The plot measures just 2.40m wide and 5.50m deep!!!!!! I mean, really, how is that possible?
Both the front and back of the house are made of glass, making it totally transparent from the street… The building, measuring a total of 60 sqm has 4 floors, with each floor containing only one room (obviously!).
The ground floor is the couple’s office, the 1st floor the kitchen cum dining room, the 2nd floor the living room and the 3rd floor the bedroom/ bathroom!
I must say all the rooms look quite comfortable actually, although there’s way not enough storage space… A hoarder would most definitely not be happy there! Another issue must be privacy. I get the lots of glass, lots of light thing, but surely they don’t want all the neighbours peering in 24/7 and they don’t even have blinds or curtains (from what i can see in the pictures at least).
The icing on the cake is the stunning roof top, which has a built-in bath tub, although this must be only for show, unless they bathe with their swimming suits on!
and how cool is this front door?
