Keret House by Centrala in Warsaw
Keret House by Centrala
In Warsaw, Poland in the district of Wola lies a small crack of space between the buildings on 22 Ch?odna Street and 74 ?elazna Street. Jakub Szcz?sny of Centrala, recognized the potential to create something unique within this narrow area, and derived a design of an art installation entitled Keret House. The house upon completion shall become the narrowest house in Warsaw, measuring an interior that will vary between 122 centimeters and 72 centimeters in its narrowest spot. The house will be a workplace, a hermitage created for an outstanding Isreali writer, Etgar Keret.
Structurally the house is a simple tri-dimensional steel frame finished with plywood, insulated sandwich panels and styrofoam covered with concrete cloth painted white.
The interior will also be painted all white. The “living” will place itself on the transformable, remote control openable stairs, that flatten themselves when being in”up” position and become regular stairs when going down.
It will be equipped with boat-inspired water and sewage technology independent from city systems, the electricity will be delivered by a neighboring building.

Innovative, Kool, like camping in the city.
There would be issues with the neighboring buildings, but kudos to any city government that would allow this project.
