In Warsaw, the apparently narrowest house in Europe has been opened
Warsaw - Today, as part of an artistic project, what is likely the narrowest house in Europe was opened in Warsaw, measuring only 92 centimeters at its narrowest point. The house, if it can be called that, will be inhabited by Israeli writer Edgar Keret, who visits the Polish metropolis twice a year.
Keret stated in an interview with the news station TVN24 that he considers the building to be a kind of memorial for his parents' family, who perished during the Holocaust in World War II.
The house is literally wedged between existing residential buildings in the center of the metropolis on the outskirts of the former Jewish ghetto. The multi-storey structure, which is no wider than 152 centimeters at any point, was designed by Polish architect Jakub Szczęsny.
"It has all the necessary amenities such as a micro-kitchen, mini-bathroom, sleeping nook, and small workspace, everything is accessible via ladders," Szczęsny explained.
