Biggest and Smallest Houses in the World
posted in Fun . posted by Dave Emery on May 18, 2008 . 173 Comments
We’re living in a world of records, many of them unknown to most of us, some of which absurd but others fascinating and worth having a look at. For some general trivia on houses and their extreme sizes, here are the smallest house and the biggest one in the world.
On the outskirts of Sebastol, this small house has been a childhood dream for artist builder Jay Shafer that created it. The entire house has only 96 square feet, basically smaller than most of people’s bathrooms. It is equipped with a stainless-steel kitchen, customized storage and has a classy wood interior. The artist’ next dream is to create a community of such small houses, connected by walking paths, having the same shrunk size as the homes.
On the other hand, the biggest house in the world belongs to royalty, as you might have guessed. The world’s biggest house is Windsor Castle, located in England, Berkshire, with a surface of around 484,000 square feet (about 45,000 square meters). Having its structure changed over the centuries, the castle now occupies 13 acres of land, having 1,000 rooms. Along with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, Windsor Castle is one of the principal official residences of the British monarch. The resident is Queen Elizabeth II that made the castle her home beginning with 1952.

i love the small house. its so cute. that big house is just wayyyy to big!
the little house is so cute and small. the big house looks like it would b really cool to live in during the day. But, really scary at night.
i feel bad for the construction workers that had to build that big house in england. But, whoever built the little house it must of only toke them a couple minutes. lolz
the small house is cute but i think it’s way too small to live in everyday.
i love the little house its so cute!! the big house would be fun to play hide in seek in or have a party oolala lol
I love big houses
what ever my house is bigger than both my daddy built it it cost 100,000,000 billon dollars to make my house it has 1,300 rooms
and 900 bathrooms
i’d like to live in both houses but especcially the huenormous ones
I love it (big house)
the big house doesnt even look like a house. its like a museum
I bet u can race a car in the big house! the little house would be good for teaparties i guess…
i loved th small house i have been to the big house and i got lost in it for 3 h
I prefer the small house… But it’s a pleasure to have big one
imagine living in the small house with your partner and kids
cosy isn’t it?
i’m sure it would be “Pleasureable” to have a house this big
only in the philippines you can find the smallest house of the world
I do not like either of the houses; I think they are either too big or too small. Who would want to live in them?
the lil house is so cute but it is way to smal to live in lol i hope only one person lives in that house lol the big house is nice but it is to big it looks like a castle lol but hey i would live in it if i could
the small house is cool,cute and fun to use for entertainment like play boardgames in it. the big one is cool for inviting friends,running around, having parties and if you dont have anything else to do, you could tour yourself in your own house!!!!!!(which will take you like 2 months!!!)LOL!!!!
i really want to have a house and that picture of that small house above is so cool! i want to have one but living in philippines is the best than any house in the world that exist.
Hey all you buttcheaks out there, I have something to say. That’s my house. The big, white one. Please don’t look at it. It’s not that big. It only has 2 swimming pools inside and out, a waterpark, a bowling alley, 5 hot tubs, a library, a basketball court, a volleyball court, a tennis court, 15 bathrooms, a movie theater, a ballroom, 60,000,000 ft. of yard, 10 butlers and waitresses, a mini mall, and lastly, a pack of bubble gum.
I wish it were bigger!!!! ;(

the little house!
that isn’t the biggest house in the world, the biggest house in the world is actually in a European country & is owned by a Sultan here’s the information from http://www.ibtimes.com
This is the home of Sultan of Brunei’s istana nurul iman.
It contains 1,788 rooms, 257 bathrooms, and a floor area of 2,152,782 square feet (200,000 m²). Amenities include 5 swimming pools, and an air conditioned stable for the Sultan’s 200 polo ponies, a 110-car garage, a banquet hall that can be expanded to accommodate up to 4,000 guests, and a mosque accommodating 1,500 people.
my house is 6 stories with an underground pool and a golf course.
The little house is good. Nice! The BIG house is awesome! I want a house like that but it would be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY SCARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! When You wake up at night and your thursty!!!!!!!!!!
litte house nice.big house good.but very big………
i wold live in the small house because alot less cleening and bad people wold break in and steal
wow……………………
mind blowing…………………………….
omg it is FUCKING cute!!!!!!!!!!
ther house is so cute
wow that’s a small house……………..lol
Nichole-> Thank you! This is what I hate with english-speaking article: always praise to the skies England like sheeps without even become informed, ridiculous.
On the other hand Brunei’s Sultan house is a modern building, if you want a real historic palace, the castle of Madrid is ALSO BIGGER than Windsor.
(Bigger doesn’t mean better though, the most visited castle in the world is Versailles in France, and I think it’s also the most prestigious castle (history, aesthetic…))
Mike and I wanted to have a small home that doesn’t cost much but quite beautiful, too. This small house encourages us more to do it one day. Thanks!
i like the small house because the big house ist a house its a manchin:)
Boy,the small house looks like fun..And the mention looks not boring…I would like to have the small house in the mention..You know why? Because the big house is my grandfather’s cousins son house

that’s big! that’s small! but, it’s only half the size of my house!
that is a real small house but its cutee !
Attention subjects! This is the Queen of England! I am renovating my fine home and am adding 70 billion loos, 500000000 bedrooms, and 25 private jet hangers. I am also buying 500 Lamborghinis to ride throughout the expanse of my house. Telephones are at either side of the house and when the phone rings, I will jump into my Lamborghini and flour it. I am hiring 5000 more people to be my servants who clean up the skid marks that my cars will leave on the floors. Lastly, i am building a bridge from my garage to Russia. Thank you.
Hear ye, hear ye! This is the Queen of England again. I am adding a dolphin tank and am purchasing a yacht to float in the tank as well.
i loved the biggest and the smallest houses in the world.
they were amazing!!!!!.
the smallest house in the world was amazing.but how would anyone stay in such a small house?and were is the toilet?.the biggest house is amazing!!!!how would the queen look for her room?the house is so big it will havei think 100 rooms.
wow !!!
I would SO love to live in that house. I bet I could buy it hehe =D
big house all the way
o my god thats the biggest house i have ever seen, and the smallest house i have ever seen………….
cute little house. inspires me to build my own little home. does he have a toilet in there?
I appreciate the small one..
what a cute home…………
whoooooo the houses were amazing .Specialy the smallest house it’s so small how could a person lie in such a house ????????????????????
aaaaaaah
the biggest one is small compared to mine!!
it isnt a house, its a castle.
I don’t think that I would feel comfortable in a house that big. But I’m 6 foot 2, so I don’t want the tiny house. Something in between would be nice, and way far away from the big castle. The little one is adorable, though!
I like the big house because it is beatiful
the big house dosn’t even look like a house it looks like a princess castle.
I like the big house but it might be scary at night.
It would be nice for a runner like me to live there cuz I wouldn’t have to leave the property to run miles. haha
nice
The small house is so lovely and cute!!
my house is the biggest of all of these houses
I would love to live in that house. I have a house that every body thinks is big but after they see that house they will change there mind. The small one is just cute. But to small for me but if I had to live in it then I guess I wouldn’t be mad but crowded.
