The growing population of many cities and countries forces urban planners to develop imagination, trying to find a place for everyone and need. Since land is often expensive and scarce, the only logical option is the construction of tall structures, rather than wide ones.
This decision has led to the emergence of many overly elongated, and sometimes even funny buildings around the world. However, even if this may seem like a logical explanation, not every structure is built narrow and high in order to make maximum use of the available available space. Sometimes the construction of unusual buildings is carried out for surprising reasons.
Strange object
As it turned out, probably the narrowest building in one of the cities of Lebanon, in Beirut, was built not because of a lack of space, but because of the protracted conflict.
A unique house no more than four meters in the widest and about half a meter in the narrowest point is called al-bass in Arabic, which translates as "anger".
Origin history
The name of this interesting home indicates a non-standard story of its appearance. According to legend, distributed by locals, the house was built in the middle of the last century. It was the result of a feud between two siblings.

In one family, sisters and brothers inherited a plot from their father. However, they could not agree on how to use this land. The conflict was even more aggravated when part of the possessions was confiscated in order to implement state municipal infrastructure projects. As a result, the site acquired a strange shape and was very close to the road.
The brother, who owned an unusual land, eventually showed all his pettiness or ingenuity - depending on which side to look at - and built a very narrow, but still suitable for living building.
