Thinnest House in Warsaw Poland unlocks with all essential amenities
Thinnest House in Warsaw Poland unlocks with all essential amenities
The world’s thinnest house called Keret House has formally opened on Saturday in Warsaw, Poland. It is a four-foot wide structure, rising and filling a narrow space between two existing blocks – a prewar household and a contemporary apartment block, in central Warsaw.
Originally planned as an art installation, by Polish architect Jakub Szczesny of the Polish firm Centrala, the newly unlocked structure in Warsaw is named after an Israeli writer Etgar Keret, the first person to dwell in it this weekend.
As initially reported, Mr. Keret will be the host of the house for three years, yet in a temporary basis only.
External and Internal Structure
The two-story aluminum and plastic house was designed three years ago, initially as an art graft depicting a momentous remembrance of Warsaw’s World War II mayhem.
It emerges as a triangular building that measures 33 feet or 10 meters in depth at the base, and rises at a height of 30 feet or 9 meters tall. Its overall dimension runs only at 4 feet or approximately 1.3 meters.
Despite its extremely narrow space, the house comes with all necessary amenities for its occupant. These include a living room with a bean bag sofa, a bedroom with a twin-size bed, a kitchen with a couple of tables and a bathroom with a toilet and shower.
“It contains all necessary amenities such as a micro-kitchen, mini-bathroom, sleeping cubicle and tiny work area, all accessible via ladders,” Mr. Szczesny explained.
As part of its contemporary scheme, the Keret House is also built with a remote-controlled entrance stairs. Access to the sleeping area is done through a ladder mounted in the wall, with a “boat-inspired” fixture. According to pertinent reports, its electricity comes from a nearby building.
