The Keret house: "The narrowest building in the world" (90 cm), Warsaw Poland

(Source: inhabitat.com/keret-house-the-worlds-skinniest-building-o...): The Israeli writer Etgar Keret is the proud owner of the world’s narrowest building, a home so tiny that you might not even notice it if you’re not looking hard. The house, which is less than five feet across at its widest part (three feet at its narrowest), was designed by Polish architect Jakub Szczesny.

The house is conceived as a memorial to Keret's parents’ family, who died in Warsaw during the World War II Holocaust. Although it’s mostly an artistic installation, it’s still a real house with all the necessary facilities. Squeezed into the microscopic alley between two existing residential buildings on the edge of the former Warsaw Ghetto, the building’s several levels comprise a “micro-kitchen, mini-bathroom, sleeping cubicle and tiny work area, all accessible via ladders,” architect Szczesny said. The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of all the Jewish ghettos in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II, with over 400,000 Jews crowded into an area of less than two square miles. Keret plans to live in the home when visiting Poland.
