It is definitely a tight space for any man to live in as everything is squeezed together as the house is fully equipped with a living room downstairs and a bedroom to sleep in upstairs. There is even a kitchen with a sink and stove for you to prep your meal throughout the day.

4. Roll It Homes, Germany

You can definitely roll the house indeed as this tiny home located in Germany was the idea of a group of students from the University of Karlsruhe. As small as it might be, the house is fully functional with all the basic needs.

Depending on the orientation of the house since it can be rolled, the house will serve different functions throughout the way as you can turn it into a bedroom or even a working space.

The house is comprised of three sections mainly the bedroom, kitchen, and exercise room.

3. Eco Bike Trailer, US (1.6 SqM)

Have you ever thought of carrying a trailer with your bike, well now you can as the Eco Bike Trailer is merely the size of 1.6 sqm. With the house being so small, there is only room for one person inside as you have to be in a sitting position or lying down completely.

There is even a little window for you to see everything outside and the unique part is that the trailer is equipped with solar power and a heating system for you to stay cozy while inside. But you might want to find an outdoor toilet nearby as there is not one inside the trailer.

2. The One SQM House, Germany (1 SqM)

As the name states, the house is only 1 sqm in size, and with such a small space, it might be more of a relaxing station than your typical house. The house was designed by a German Architect, Van Bo Le-Mentzel which might just be the smallest house in the world.

You can however change the position of the house from vertical to horizontal depending on your desired resting position. The house is pretty basic as it can easily be made with common house tools and materials.

It definitely would be a good place for you to relax and release the stress from everyone around you.

1. Keret House (0.9 SqM)

The Keret House tops the list for being the smallest and slimmest house in the world. It was a unique idea of Polish architect Jakub Szczesny as this slim structure was built between two buildings.

The house has a dimension of 0.9 sqm and unlike the one sqm house, this one is a fully functional house on top of its wonderful design inside. There is everything you need inside from a bed and kitchen for you to stay comfortable while doing your work.
