Philippines 'slim house' measures just FOUR-FEET wide

This very narrow home in the Philippines is one of the world's thinnest, at a width of just four feet (1.2 metres).

The three-story property is owned by a older woman who lives there with her pet dog in the Pasig City area of the capital Manila.

The house is only an arm's length in width but has a sideways extension on the second floor giving a little bit of extra room. It goes up three floors and has a rooftop where the animal is kept.

Neighbours said that the house has been attracting curious tourists, and even passers-by go take a closer look when they see it.

One neighbour said: ''The owner extended the floors over time. It's a very resourceful thing to do, this city has so limited space, we need to make do.''
