The narrowest house in Antwerp is barely 2.23 metres wide and is located in Huikstraat. But Deurne-Noord also has plenty of houses with a limited façade width. In some cases, these Conforta homes, as they are called, are only 3.7 metres wide. They were built between 1925 and 1930 by the NV Comptoir Général du Bâtiment or the Conforta construction company.
In addition to the narrow Confortas, the neighbourhood also has plenty of houses with two front doors. They are usually home to two households, each with their own front door. Thanks to Conforta, blue-collar workers were able to afford a house of their own. But the company blithely ignored applicable building regulations, purely for speculative reasons.
