These "skinny houses" are certainly not an answer to our housing woes, but do provide an artsy, innovated take on home architecture. The article mentions that "Skinny homes are built for any number of reasons. It could be space constrictions, tax or code restrictions, the creative muse, or even for the vengeful-minded to grind an axe with a family member." Obviously the homes presented in the article are quite expensive, but it would be interesting to consider alternative designs with less of a focus on art and design. It's hard to imagine living in a house where you can touch both sides of it at the same time, but it's not unfathomable to predict that similar houses could be used in the future to help solve environmental and/or economic issues.
