    It has everything you need for a normal living: a compact kitchen with a folding table, an armchair and washing machine; bedroom with folding bed; A “living room” with a sofa and TV and a normal sized bathroom. There is even a basement, a well-tended tiny garden and charming patio at the back of the house.

    The house was built in 1912 and immediately became a local landmark.

    2. "Fisherman's House"(Great Britain, Conwy).

    The smallest house in the UK is considered to be a "fishing house", which is located in Conwy - a small coastal town in North Wales.

    It was built in the XIV century, its dimensions are: 3.05 x 1.8 m. On the first floor, near the wall of this house, there was a bunker with coal, a place for cooking over an open fire and under the stairs - a tank with water. On the second floor there was a living room with a bed, bedside table, stove and washbasin. People lived in it until the beginning of the 20th century, and since 1900 it has become a museum.

    They say that in the 19th century there was even a family ... of 8 people living in it!

    3. For resourceful romantics (Austria, Salzburg).

    4. What is behind the door? "Linden" record holder

    Residents of Amsterdam never tire of repeating that the smallest house in their city is number 7. However, this is not entirely true. The fact is that at the time of the construction of the building, the housing tax directly depended on the width of the facade. And the enterprising owner built a full-fledged house, but with a facade of 1.1 m, which in fact is just an entrance (house no. 7).

    5. "Home-kiosk"

    You might not even notice this house, thinking that it is just a kiosk. It is attached to the Church of the Holy Spirit in the New Town and has always had its own address. The house was built in 1843 as a commercial facility for the sale of Constantinople tobacco. Later, overseas cigars imported from Cuba and Mexico were also sold here. Noble clients were even honored with a glass of wine. During the Polish uprising, there was a turnout of the underground in the house. Later, magazines and postcards from Paris, depicting women in negligee, were added to the range of products. This caused a big scandal in Catholic Warsaw. It still sells newspapers now.

    6. Modern minimalism(Japan).

    The Japanese have always been famous for their ability to rationally use usable space... Due to the lack of land, they are forced to somehow get out and build houses on tiny plots. This house is built on a plot of 15 m 2, but the designer managed to enlarge the space and build a house of 44 m 2. Inside there is a kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom and even a small balcony.


    7. House of forest fairies

    A cozy mini-cottage with an area of ​​21 m 2 is located in a forested area, not far from a small lake. It seems that magical forest fairies live in this small house. Nevertheless, the cottage has everything you need: a kitchen-living room, a bathroom with a toilet, a bedroom and, as you can see, a small veranda. Compact and cozy.

    8. Every cricket know your corner! (Japan Tokyo).

    On a small plot of land, the enterprising Japanese have erected a comfortable dwelling with an area of ​​29 m 2. The house is two-storey, intended for a family of three (married couple with a daughter) and has a living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a nursery and even a garage for a car.

    And since the landscape on which the dwelling was built had a triangular shape, the architects had to repeat it when designing the house.

    9. Super-slim (Brazil,Madre de Dius).


    This tall but very narrow house was built in Madre de Dius, Bahia. The width of its facade facing the street is only 1 meter 10 centimeters, and the widest place in the house is about two meters. The height of the whole house is 10 meters.

    The house has three floors, on which two living rooms, three bedrooms, a kitchen and a veranda are compactly located.

    10. Residential art object

    Despite its small size, the house has everything you need to comfortable life- bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen.

    The building is registered as an art object, not a residential building, as its parameters do not comply with the Polish building regulations.

    11. Five-star hotel in 53 m 2(Germany, Amberg).

    The German Wedding House hotel is only 2.5 m wide. Its living area is 53 m 2. Despite this, the only room available in the hotel has to be booked several months in advance, as its popularity is so high. The hotel is squeezed into a narrow space between two adjacent buildings. The interior of the wedding house makes an unforgettable impression on the guests - it is equipped with a comfortable bed, fireplace, luxurious furniture, TV and even a SPA-salon.

    The hotel was built in 1728, when the city council of Amberg decided that there would be more weddings if newly married couples had accommodation, which they could call in immediately after the wedding. But since it was unrealistic to provide housing for all the newlyweds even then, they found another way out: they built this tiny house, in which the happy couple spent several weeks, and then passed it on to the next young family. Since then, it has become known as a wedding house.

    Legend has it that those who have spent at least one night in a hotel live happily ever after and never get divorced. Therefore, many newlyweds want to start a family life in this "happy" hotel.

    12. Mini on the ranch

    14. Squirrel wheel(Germany,Karlsruhe).

    German students have developed unique homes that include all the necessary functions inside one room. The Cylinder Roll House has three separate areas complete with bed, armchair, table, kitchen sink, shower and toilet.

    You need to go to the bedroom - go to the center of the block, turn the structure ... And here you are on the bed, where the Velcro keeps the mattress and pillows. It took something in the kitchen - move to the next compartment. And everything would be fine, only the question arises - does the house have an emergency brake? So, just in case ...

    15. Rubik's cube (Austria, Styria).

    The mobile home project was named "Hypercubus" because of his appearance... The first such house appeared in Austria. Initially, the project was conceived as a hotel room, but such houses can be used independently. "Cubes" can be erected in a certain place, and if desired, transported where necessary.

    16. 5 m 2 for 120 thousand pounds (Great Britain, London).

    The smallest apartment in London has an area of ​​only 5.4 m2. The unusual apartment appeared in 1987, when, during the boom in the British housing market, the utility room of one of the houses in the elite Knightsbridge area was converted into a separate apartment measuring 3.3 by 1.65 meters. In addition to the bedroom, it has a kitchen, toilet, shower and wardrobe.
    The first buyer paid £ 36,500 for the apartment. Now its cost is over 120 thousand pounds. For comparison, for 200 thousand pounds you can easily buy a small old castle.

    But this is still not the smallest apartment in the world ...

    18. Call, how will you be at home ().

    The smallest house in Russia was built by Viktor Razuvaev, who lives in Mordovia (Zubovo-Polyansky district). The frame of a telephone booth was taken as a basis, which he slightly expanded and made more spacious, with two windows. The result is a house with an area of ​​2.7 m 2. Of course, inside it is rather cramped, but Cheburashka also lived in a telephone booth. Here you can watch TV, sitting on a special reclining chair, make tea, take a break from the daily hustle and bustle. The house has autonomous heating, so you can live here even in the cold season. True, there is still no place to spend the night there, but the owner of the house is already working on a mechanism that will transfer his house to a horizontal position suitable for sleeping at night.

    Quality is more important than size. Most likely, it is these words that are guided by people who look through the projects of small houses for themselves and decide to build them. Really reasons for building small house there can be a huge amount: some decide, thus saving a little on building materials, someone wants to stand out against the general background of classic houses and surprise their neighbors with their taste and originality.

    Is there any exact information about how much square meters will make a person happy? It is difficult to disagree with the fact that even a small house can look attractive, and sometimes even fabulous.

    What is the popularity of small houses?

    Small private houses are becoming more and more popular every year, which is mainly due to the fact that people decide to make their life easier, but brighter.

    Projects for youth requests small houses are constantly being improved in various ways and today there has been a real breakthrough - the designers, together with the designers, have turned small houses into a single style, calling it eco-life.


    There are already several companies in the United States of America, whose main specialization is beautiful small houses built on an area of ​​ten to fifty square meters.

    It is difficult to believe that it is realistic to fit all the necessary things in such a small area, but it really is. With a small area, it is very important to pay due attention to the organization of the internal space so that it is used as efficiently as possible.

    Young people, of course, are no strangers to living in real Spartan conditions. For them, the main thing is to have a roof over their heads in the rain.

    Many of the students have already rated interesting work the popular architect Van Bo Le Mentzel, whose house seems to lack only one thing - a rope so that it can be carried with you when traveling. His houses look so unusual that people even come from other cities to watch him live.

    It should be noted that the largest area of ​​this type of houses is about 40 sq.m., however, in practice, almost all buildings are much smaller. In addition to the attractive price, buyers are also lured by the interior of a small house, which, as a rule, is incredibly neat and comfortable.

    Looking through photos of small houses, you can see one of the most original options offered by the Californian artist - Gregory Kloehn. Almost all of his houses are made either from garbage containers or from recycled materials, and after construction, he hands over the keys to them not only to buyers, but also to the homeless.

    Not all home owners are happy with their minimum living conditions, so they try to use small rooms to the maximum, resorting to the use of modern technologies for this.

    In this regard, it is impossible not to mention the Egg House, built by dmvA. It accommodates a kitchen, bathroom, bed, and several niches at once, in which it will be convenient to store various things. When opening the nose at home, it can be used as the most ordinary veranda.


    Bedroom design in a small house

    One of the most important rooms in the house, regardless of its area, there is a room in which you fall asleep and wake up. After all, the bedroom is the place where you can regain your strength after a hard day at work. Of course, it is much more pleasant to spend precious and long-awaited hours of relaxation on a comfortable bed in a room where you can also arrange all the most important things.

    Even if the room is very small, it is necessary that it be equipped with all the requirements of homeowners. Do not worry if the design of a small house allows you to place only a bed in the room, since in this case you can use wall cabinets instead of the usual pedestals installed near the bed.

    It is worth noting that the fewer various distracting things in the room, the better you will be able to relax in it and recuperate for the next fruitful day.

    If there is a little more space, then it is better to opt for a medium-sized bed. In this case, the space that you save can be used as additional storage systems. This is especially important in small houses and apartments.

    How to equip a kitchen in a small house?

    Cooking is an essential daily process for any woman. Even in the case when the size of the room is very modest, it will be necessary to prepare food, therefore it is important to use every centimeter efficiently.

    When choosing a kitchen unit, special attention should be paid to ensuring that each cabinet must have its own purpose and perform its functions.


    If a separate room was not allocated for the kitchen during the construction of the house, then it is worth using any free space. For example, to place various kitchen attributes, you can use the walk-through located next to the exit from the house.

    When space is limited country houses it is not necessary to make huge kitchen sets... Today, in almost any hardware store, you can find wonderful helpers, namely hanging shelves and roof rails. High Quality for a reasonable price.

    Bathroom design in small houses

    A bathroom is always a must. Even if there is very little space, it is very important to create an atmosphere that will truly promote relaxation.

    In order to use the space ergonomically, in no case should you pile up the room with various non-essential details.

    It is better to turn to the brands of sanitary ware and bathroom furniture that offer great solutions like the shelving installed right above the toilet.

    A small house made of wood can be built independently in a short time, since the materials for it will need quite a bit, as well as free space. It is worth noting that such houses are often built not for themselves, but for guests.


    The interior of a small house can be the most ordinary - use more in design wooden furniture, pay attention to interesting ideas for storing a variety of little things, and in order for the accents to be correctly placed in the rooms, use accessories in bright colors.
