The Keret House is a very narrow building in Warsaw, Poland.

It fits into a small gap between two other buildings.

The house is only 72 centimetres wide at its narrowest point.

Polish architect Jakub Szczęsny designed it as both artwork and a usable place to live and work.

It has three levels connected by stairs and a ladder.

Inside are a kitchenette, bathroom, sitting area, workspace and bed.

A long skylight brings sunlight into the small space.

Israeli writer Etgar Keret uses the house as a workspace and sometimes stays there.

Indian influencer Rishabh Wadhwa recently showed viewers what the inside looks like.
