I have just recieved approved plans for a house on a 16′ X 200′ lot in vancouver, BC. The house will be as large as allowed by the city. The result is house that is 8′-6″ X 80′-6″ with two two floors on a full basement with a rooftop deck.
Does anybody know what the narrowist freestanding house built is?

Wow, that's narrow. A few years back Fine Homebuilding featured a very narrow house, as I recall it was 10' wide, and Dwell magazine has narrow houses quite often, but you may be the winner for narrowist house. You should submit a story to FHB, Inspired Home, and Dwell when the house is done. What kinds of things have you done to allow such a narrow design?
Wow that is tiny.I have seen 10'-12'.The Cole Construction Group

yikes
think of stairs, there goes 3 feet minimum
would love to see the final design as we are a design build, and that would be an interesting one
I think Ive seen pictures of reasonably liveable houses about 4' wide, though I doubt you could do that and meet codes.
Don't laugh but consider building a shipping container house but finishing the exterior. Go to google and type Container Home. I converted a 40 x 8 container to a construction field office and it was very nice. If your a skilled person it would work. You could cantilever the 2nd floor past the first floor. Don't knock it till you look.
