Warsaw's Keret House: The World's Narrowest Functional Home at 72 cm Wide
The Keret House in Warsaw, designed by Polish architect Jakub Szczesny, is recognized as the world's narrowest house, measuring between 72 and 122 centimetres wide. Built into a narrow gap between two buildings, it serves as both an art installation and a functional living space. The three-level interior includes a kitchenette, bathroom, workspace, and sleeping area, efficiently utilizing approximately 150 square feet. Access is via an alley with steel stairs, and natural light enters through a skylight, enhancing the compact design.
