If by the concept of "largest" we mean the area, then this title belongs to the Chinese building of a shopping center in Sichuan. The tallest house in the world is a giant skyscraper in Dubai. And the record holder for the longest among buildings is the Klystron Gallery in California.
The largest house in the world
The largest house in the world was built in the Chinese province of Sichuan. This is the building of a shopping center called the Century Global Center, which houses shops, cinemas, sports clubs and entire stadiums, a hotel and many organizations, as well as a huge water park and an ice rink large enough to host international ice skating competitions … The area of the house is 1,760,000 square kilometers. It rises 100 meters in height, and its length and width are 400 and 500 meters. Built in just three years, this building is three times the size of the Pentagon and 20 times the size of the Sydney Opera House.
Tallest house in the world
The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa, which houses the hotel. This structure in the form of a giant stalagmite rises 828 meters in height above the rest of the skyscrapers and houses of the largest city in the United Arab Emirates. This is the tallest structure not only among those existing in the world, but also among those ever erected: before its construction, the Warsaw radio mast, which fell in 1991, was the record holder.
The Burj Khalifa was originally planned to be the tallest in the world, but its height was kept secret so that changes could be made during construction if a taller building began to be built somewhere. They built it quickly: at least one floor appeared a week. For the foundation, it was necessary to make piles 45 meters long. Today it is a symbol of the city of Dubai - one of the largest and most luxurious hotels in the world. Although the hotel does not occupy all floors, there are also shopping centers, offices, residential apartments.
Despite its enormous height, the area of the skyscraper is much inferior to the Chinese shopping center and is only 344 thousand square meters.
The longest house in the world
The title of the longest house in the world is ambiguous and depends on what counts as a home. If you can take into account any buildings, then it belongs to the famous Chinese Wall, which stretches for almost 9 thousand kilometers. It served as a fort, but today it is not used and serves only as a landmark. If you choose among modern buildings, the longest is the Klystron Gallery in Menglo Park, California. There is a scientific laboratory here. It was built in 1966, and it soon became clear that this is an unusually long house: it stretches for more than 3 thousand meters.
Among residential buildings, the building in Lutsk on Sobornost Avenue is considered the longest, which has a length of 1750 meters.
