Members Kendrix Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 In Japan they call such houses "Semi"= narrow. I'd have to trade my Weimaraner in for a minature poodle. Of course, being near the beach in this town I could never afford it- so its not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PBBPaul Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I hope they have good knees. That's a lot of stairs. There's a lot near my house for sale that's similarly sized. It's only about five feet above the waterline though so I have no idea what somebody would try to build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted January 30, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2007 Turn the 4 stories into 2 stories to double the ceiling height. Keep the tracking room on the ground floor and the control room upstairs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted January 30, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2007 Then install a small elevator, making sure to place a high quality speaker at the bottom of the shaft, clear of the elevator's travel, and install 2 mics on the bottom of the elevator itself. Park the elevator all the way up to the roof level when in use as a reverb chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EccentRick Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Use it for a small, but (hopefully) efficient garden. I loves that fresh produce, I does. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Sayers Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Actually the 20 x 20 studio design is still the most popular design on my studio design forum. With that building you could build 4 studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 The nation's skinniest house, according to Guinness World of Records, makes its home on Gladys Avenue in Long Beach. Built on a lot measuring 10 feet by 50 feet by Nelson Rummond, who bet that he could build a habitable residence on the lot. The Skinny House is located a 708 Gladys Avenue. I went in it 15 or 20 years ago when it was on the market. NOT for everyone... IIRC, the widest part of the house is something like 8' 4" (and THAT no doubt required "easing" the easements... something apparently fairly easy to accomplish around these parts, judging from the number of otherwise-illegal third and "third-and-a-half" stories on buildings in my current neighborhood -- and the way "remodels" [which under code require at least one original wall still standing] typically start from scratch -- often the "last" original wall comes down on a Sunday. This will NOT "fool" any building inspector who is not blind or can't smell new wood, but, well, some folks have suspected that bribes have been known to change hands... perish the thought. No one ever asked ME for a bribe at my old house but I've certainly heard some stories.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
