Inside Keret House: The World’s Thinnest Home

If you’ve ever thought you could do with a little more room in your house, spare a thought for Etgar Keret, who lives in the thinnest house in the world. The claustrophobic structure is an art installation designed by architect Jakub Szczęsny and is located in the space between two buildings in Warsaw, Poland. The unique home is named Keret House, after its lodger, and is a mere 3.02 ft at its narrowest point and 4.99 ft at its widest point. Every inch has been used to good effect though, with the two floors housing a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a study/living area. The house is that small that a slidable ladder has to be used to access the top floor as there isn’t enough room for a staircase. We’re betting the house warming party was pretty cosy!
