A unique narrow house in Jacksonville Beach, Florida is an architectural oddity that now stands as both a local curiosity and a testament to creativity under constraints.
The story of this “skinny house” began with developer John Atkins, who refused to sell a narrow strip of land despite persistent offers from neighboring property owners. Instead of caving in, Atkins took an unconventional approach, designing a home that redefined the possibilities of compact living. After his initial 15-foot-wide design was rejected by city officials, he went even bolder — submitting a plan for a home just 10 feet wide.
