When Mr. Keret, 45, received a call from the architect, he was initially puzzled. “This guy with a very heavy Polish accent said he wanted to make a house in proportion to my stories,” he said. “It sounded like a prank.” — NYT
Steven Karutz profiled Keret House, a recently completed example of "experimental architecture" by Jakub Szczesny, a Polish architect. Mr. Szczesny, 39, designed the space for an ideal resident, specifically Israeli writer, Etgar Keret. The architect who belongs to a collective called Centrala, built the house in an incredibly thin gap between two existing buildings.

Yeah read a Spiegel article on the opening a couple of weeks ago but just ran across this from NYT... although going back and looking at it I notice that even this story is from Oct. Woops...
hartacus - while tons of blogs have picked up on this house in the last few weeks, we've been covering it since June of last year.
More photos of this house can be seen on the artist's Facebook page.
