The Slim House is an appropriately named dwelling, located in London, that takes its name from the fact that it measures in at only 91 inches wide. However what makes this dwelling such an impressive architectural accomplishment is the fact that it somehow feels rather comfortable inside despite the small proportions.
As far as the interior is concerned, the Slim House features a master bedroom and a fully equipped bathroom on the second floor, while the uppermost third floor comes with two more bedrooms. Elsewhere, the home features a variety of space-saving features such as embedded shelves and storage.
With property prices in cities like London seemingly always rising, the Slim House is setting out to prove that compact living might be the way of the future.
