In the Polish capital city, this famous slim designed house was built between two high-rise buildings by architect Jakub Szczesny. Measuring just five feet at its widest point — this is the thinnest house in the world.
Jakub built it as a temporary home for traveling writers.
He figured that anyone who stayed here wouldn’t be here long, because of the small size.
“It requires a sense of humour, as you cannot stay long in a place like this,” joked Szczesny.
The house is raised up on stilts and you can only access it via staircase.
To get to the different floors, there is a small staircase and also a ladder.
The main area is similar to a loft apartment (only really, really small).
The house will remain in place for at least 2 years, but it could be there longer on accounts of its popularity.
Its space is entirely functional, but was created to be used by writers so that they could focus on their work.
Jakub and Israeli writer Etgar Keret led the project. If you’d like to find the house yourself, it’s located between buildings at Chlodna 22 Street and Zelazna 74 Street in Warsaw, Poland. What I would give to live in a tiny house…
