Skinny Strata Apartment

Maybe strata apartments need to go on a diet to get skinnier?  Particularly, if they’re going to fit into the smaller places left in increasingly dense cities.

In Warsaw, Poland there’s Jakub Szczęsny's Keret House, which is probably the skinniest house in the world.

It’s only 4 feet wide and is designed to fill a crack between a pair of buildings in Warsaw's Wola district.  It’s being built right now and will be finished in December. But, officially it’s an "art installation," because it doesn't meet Polish building codes.



Szczęsny designed the house to be a work space and home for Israeli writer Etgar Keret and it will also be a studio for invited guests  young creators and intellectualists from all over the world.

Let’s hope they’re skinny too.
