[ 2 ] While walking through Warsaw’s Wola district, Polish architect Jakub Szczęsny¹¹ noticed a small gap between two buildings— one not particularly tall,¹² the other a contemporary, concrete apartment building.

Storage areas, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom are compressed to fit into a spread¹⁴ of space over two floors. The building is primarily a working studio for artists in residence selected by Szczęsny and Keret. Artists apply for a short stay,¹⁵ as Keret explains it, use the space as “a portal to all kinds of artistic initiatives.” Since its opening in 2012, the Keret House has hosted several visitors from around the world, including photographers, writers, and filmmakers.
