Contrary to the traditional concept of line and design, the Krzywy Domek,
considered the world’s most crooked house, has become a popular commercial
space in Sopot, Poland. The designers, Polish architects Szotyscy &
Zaleski, were inspired by the fairytale drawings of Jan Marcin Szcaner and Per
Dahlberg. Completed in 2004, the space is predominantly used for business
purposes, as well as rental space for commercial real estate companies. The
Crooked House, as it’s also known, contains 43,000 square feet of architectural
wonder, including warped walls and windows, concave roofs and glass giving off
the appearance of a funhouse mirror. This building is an example of modern technology meeting architectural design with the use of CAD software to
create the house’s drawings and construction plans. When viewing the building,
one can’t help but see the similarities between the work of Szotyscy &
Zaleski and Antoni Gaudi.
