A house measuring just 63 centimetres in width has begun the process of officially applying to the Guinness World Records as the narrowest home in the world, in the district of Aucallama, in the province of Huaral, in Lima,
At first glance, the facade appears to be little more than a slit, but the property gradually widens to reach 130 centimetres at its widest point and is designed to be fully habitable.
“The little house at the front measures exactly 63 centimetres, but as we move towards the back of the property it increases in what we might call its width,” Fabio Ernesto Moreno, Owner of the narrow house, explained.
The home has two floors and is built of wood. Despite the narrow space, it includes basic amenities to enjoy it, such as a living room, dining area, sink, bathroom and bedroom, and it is equipped with a television, kitchen utensils and books.
“The objective is to bring the record to Peru. Although I was born in Colombia, Peru has opened its doors to me as my own country,” Ernesto Moreno said while showing the comforts of the property, which he plans to turn into a tourist attraction.
“We are practically already on the way to becoming a tourist attraction, let us say that our intention is also to establish it in this place, which is a very beautiful area, Aucallama Peru,” he added.
While awaiting validation, the house has already become a point of interest for visitors who travel to Aucallama to see this unusual architectural work up close.
According to Guinness World Records, the narrowest house in the world is the ‘Keret House’, named after Israeli writer and filmmaker Etgar Keret, its first resident. The property is located in Warsaw, Poland. It was designed by Jakub Szczesny and measures 92 centimetres at its narrowest point and 152 centimetres at its widest.
