About
Keret House - the narrowest house. The Keret House is an artistic installation, which has the form of an “insert” between two buildings representing different epochs in the history of Warsaw. The house is 70 cm in the narrowest place and 122 cm in the widest. It was designed by Jakub Szczęsny from the architectural group CENTRALA and built in 2012. The symbolic resident and patron of the house is Edgar Keret – a famous Israeli writer. The curators of the installation are Sarmen Beglarian and Sylwia Szymaniak from the Polish Modern Art Foundation. The Keret House is an artistic installation touching the subject memory of the place, a space in which artists from around the world realize their projects during artistic residences, and an example of extraordinary architecture. It draws attention with its small surface, which is a perfect example of an apartement in a small space. The house is owned by the Polish Modern Art Foundation.

Getting to Keret House is rather difficult and the reward is not worth the trouble. House is open to public only on selected days and you must buy your ticket online well in advance. Entrance is located from the back and can be easily omitted.
As you might have guessed once inside there is little space. Few furnitures and that's it. A visit to any museum of modern art would be much more satisfactory than visiting Keret's house. Visit only if you have too much time on your hands and even then I would consider if it's worth it.

We saw the Kemet house featured on an architectural TV show a few years ago, and we had to see it when we visited Poland. We took a public bus from our hotel to about 4 blocks from Kemet House. When we walked up to it, we almost missed it. It’s so thin!
We walked around the building and found the “entrance” to the house. We rang the bell a few times, but there was no answer. Don’t expect an interior tour!
Budget no more than 15 minutes for viewing the exterior if you plan on visiting.
We didn’t have any problems getting to the Keret House. We took a bus and walked 3 blocks using Google Maps.

I was unable to find a way into this attraction and from photos assume this is it. I only found this information on trip advisor.

Visiting this is not worth wasting your time, we barely could find it and there was nothing in front of the house to indicate it's the narrowest house in the word. If you didn't know what you were looking for you would've thought it was just a metal plate on the random building
