Skinny home in Toronto as prototype for parking space homes

When Cyril Borovsky bought a 16footwide strip of land in Toronto sandwiched between two bungalows, he knew the only way to fit more than one bedroom on the tiny footprint was to think cubically. Using a steel frame and performing much of the work himself with just a boom lift and makeshift pulley, he went up four floors. The final 1, 300 square foot home fits 3 bedrooms and 3 baths on a 16footwide lot. Borovsky recognizes that his lot is unusually thin (not quite the skinniest in Toronto, but almost), but he thinks his home could be a prototype for turning laneway parking into homes.
