Crooked house

One of the most unusual houses on the planet is located in the city of Sopot, on Heroiv Monte Cassino Street (Poland), it is called the Crooked House (in Polish - Krzywy Domek). When you look at it, you get the impression that it either melted in the sun and twisted, or it is an optical illusion and this is not the house itself, but a reflection in a huge curved mirror.

The crooked house is really crooked and does not contain a single even place and corner, it was built in 2004 by the project of two Polish architects Shotinski and Zalewski, impressed by the drawings of the artists Jan Marcin Schanzer and Per Oskar Dahlberg. The main task of the authors for the customer, which was the Resident shopping center, was to create such an appearance of the building that would attract as many visitors as possible.

During the construction of the house, the architects implemented many unusual and extraordinary ideas, thanks to which Krzywy Domek became world famous. A variety of materials have been used in the design of the facade, from glass to stone, and the roof of enameled plates resembles the curved back of a dragon. Doors, windows, just like the walls of a building, are asymmetrical and intricately curved, giving the house the appearance of some kind of fabulous hut.
