- chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44that's almost as small as Steve Ballmer's office
- bwjacket, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29Is it this building by any chance?
http://www.seechinatown.com/thin/thin.htm - scagnetti, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Yeah, but does it have a seven-and-a-halfth floor?
- idandfei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23It looks like it's just big enough to store all of it's awards for being so small.
- tutorbell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Almost as small as the server hosting the page!!
- drpunkerz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16A view from inside: http://www.pamspaulding.com/wedding/graphics/P1010009.jpg
- umrgregg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9@pimpdad82: Because they're using the 'Digg it' funcion as a method to bookmark the website for later viewing rather than as a method to voice their opinion on the website.
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Thanks, those photos were a hell of a lot easier to see than the ones on the leedodd.com site. I couldn't even tell what I was looking at on the first ones.
So is the "narrowest" building that thing that runs along the whole block? - Jacobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Much better photos here. Gives a much clearer view of the depth of the building.
- nicepants, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Looks like their web server has the most narrow bandwidth too!
- AmazingSyco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"The office is only two meters wide, so you'll have to use proton torpedos."
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4That's too bad - I was really hoping to see a tall narrow building, this seems like more of a 6' facade added next to another property, that just happens to have desks in it. I know it's technically "narrow" if you look at it from that direction, but it's pretty damn wide from the other way.
I'd love to see the skinniest building in the world, as in, a tall thin thing... - pimpdad82, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Why is this story getting dugg if people can't even see the picture from this slow ass connection?
- MajorD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Hey honey, let's go see the narrowest building on the planet!" - definitely a Clark Griswold moment.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You know, it really doesn't look that bad.
- Boho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That's the one.
- cmearns, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I live in Vancouver, I can't believe I missed it!
<groan /> - swin101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Obviously you're not counting street vendor newsstands or single person teller stations as 'office buildings,' or they'd surely beat this place for narrowest building.
- ramreezy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I live right around the corner and Jack Chow owns a bunch of buildings in the area including one of the thinest residential buildings. It's in Gastown and is clearly influenced by the Flatiron building in NYC.
Interestingly enough there is also a network of tunnels between them that used to be used for opium dens and other black-market trading. - superbonbon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why would your height have anything to do with your comfort inside a narrow building? Do you work laying down?
- nataliej, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Clearly Ripley never visited the UK - most of our old buildings are that small.
- mojo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hey, my office is a block away from there!
- xinit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@felchdonkey
You expect a building to be "thin" in two dimensions and tall in the third?
I walked by it every day for a while, and it is a distinct building, abutted on the one side by another building... just like you'd see in cities that have more than one building. - xinit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Smoking room? This is Vancouver; the smoking room is all the space not in the building.
- tehjrockz0rz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@felchdonkey.
Yep. - TastyBurger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Too bad they have the world's fattest office workers.
- ch28kid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Dugg
I live in Vancouver and I am so happy something from my City made it to the Digg front page. - bickdigg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2what's the size of the smoking room?
- geekmansworld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Crazy. I've driven by that place a million times and never noticed it.
- ae92, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Smoking room? In Canada? You can't smoke inside any building where people work here...
- asifhalim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0a little OT, but does anyone know what font this guy is using on his blog? It's awesome!
- oblongmouth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I've been to this building, its *****.
It may be thin, but you can hardly tell when you're there where one building starts & the other ends.
Also, wtf is with having to login every few hours on Digg, seriously pissing me off - dan8302, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Didn't get it
- imabot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Steve Ballmer and Jack Chow should get together and talk about space.
- petepetepete, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0The perfect building for Steve Ballmer's office.
- speedpro50, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2That is one skinny building. At 6'5" tall, I think that office would be a tight fit. That is a really wild history of how it was constructed and all.
- Scagnutties, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I am more scared about the fact that the Author of this blog has photo albums of himself (look down to the right)
- josegutz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I like that picture of the inside... It looks like it would make a superb art gallery... I LOVE it!
Will it come up for lease soon? - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2"Jack" Chow? You can't fool us, Xueng'guagong!
- solemnraven, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2hahahaha, Guilty!
- weprin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Gives new meaning to Office Space.
- brokekneck, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2LoL @ idandfei
- AdmiralAdama, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Off Topic @WebTickle
Who are you and why were you in the one big yellow solid orb on my digg swarm? - Landonr, on 06/30/2008, -13/+4http://www.duggmirror.com
