The house (officially an “art installation,” because it doesn’t meet Polish building code) is being slated to fill the space between a pair of buildings in Warsaw’s Wola district. When construction is finished in December, it’ll be the thinnest home in Warsaw and possibly the whole world. after doing a quick Google search nothing could be found to be thinner.
Szczęsny designed the house to be a work space and home for Israeli writer Etgar Keret. It is also intended to be a “studio for invited guests — young creators and intellectualists from all over the world.” that is, assuming they know how to shimmy.

In all seriousness, though, the house is a pretty remarkable feat of architecture. If everything goes according to plan, Szczęsny will be able to dewsign the space with designated rooms for sleeping, eating, and working. The place will have off-grid plumbing inspired by boat sewage technology and electricity lifted from a neighbor. To save space, the entry stairs will fold up at the press of a button and become part of the first floor.
Aesthetically, the Keret House although is is a uniquely one of a kind stuructural design, won’t be winning any beauty contests. It’s being compared to everything from a pregnancy test to a sanitary napkin. The biggest concern, though, is the lack of windows. Can that really be conducive “to produce creative work conditions,” as ArchDaily reports, and “become a significant platform for world intellectual exchange,” no windows could feel like a sensory deprivation chamber? Won’t Keret go insane? However, it could be helpful how many crazy artist aren’t successful?
