The World's Tallest House of Sticks
[Edit]
[Edit]
When you’re only using thin and inexpensive sticks of wood as your main building materials, it’s easy to see how a person could get a little carried away and maybe add on a few little extras. But this house is completely out of control, towering over neighbouring homes at 144 feet and featuring 13 floors!!! And the project has dragged out over 15 years, never really completed… in fact, it’s been left so long in a halfway stage of construction, that it’s actually starting to fall apart, much to the consternation of city officials and neighbours.
Inspired by the drabness of growing up in a Soviet communal flat, Nikolai Sutyagin has constructed what is believed to be the world's tallest wooden house. Towering a whopping 13 floors, the structure is 144 ft high.
Apparently, neither the city nor his neighbors are too happy with the project, but he has side stepped any building violations by installing a roof around the second floor that allows him to claim everything above it as decoration.
