‘Keret House’ – the world’s narrowest house, in Warsaw, Poland designed by Polish architect Jakub Szczesny of Centrala, Built between two existing structures from two historical epochs, the narrow infill is more of an art installation that reacts to the past and present of Warsaw. Although the semi-transparent, windowless structure’s widest point measures only 122 centimeters, it’s naturally lit interior doesn’t seem nearly as claustrophobic as one would think.
The Keret House will serve indefinitely as a temporary home for traveling writers, starting with Israeli writer Etgar Keret.

I guess you couldn’t really entertain there.
Hehe..who knows ;)
Perhaps you could : )
Wow.
What an amazing space.
Perfect!! How do you know about this place? It’s really fantastic. :)
Many times on walks in the Village, we have marveled at the narrowest house in NYC, that of Edna St Vincent Millay. Link here about its recent sale, and some pictures too. Not as tiny as Keret though… nope, not by a long shot. shttp://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/08/15/new_york_citys_narrowest_house_sells_for_325_million.php
amazing so crazy! great photos!
Does your shower window face the street? Great project!
We really love this place and were fortunate enough to get a tour inside when we were in Warsaw a few months ago. Unfortunately they are not sure what will happen to Keret House after 2016. Let’s hope it will stick around! For more on our experience –> http://notesofnomads.com/worlds-thinnest-house-warsaw/
Ah fantastic :) … Yes hopefully it will remain for long.
This is a grand castle compared to the sleeping cubicle in Japan …
Yeah definitely..
