World's narrowest house

Poland--The world's narrowest house is set to be constructed in the space between two buildings in Warsaw (see image).

Known as the Keret House, its interior will be 122cm (4ft) at its widest and a mere 72cm (28in) at its narrowest spot.  It will function as a workspace and studio for invited guests.

A white triangle of steel, plywood, styrofoam and concrete cloth, it will have water and sewage technology independent from city systems, and the electricity will be delivered by a neighboring building.

The house will be classed as an art installation, since it doesn’t meet building codes for a home.
