You may recall the unusual architectural constructs created by
photo manipulation expert Michael Janzen and think you
know better than to believe that such wacky, funhouse-like
structures actually exist in this world, but think
again. Krzywy Domek, translated as Crooked
House, is a shopping center in Sopot, Poland that curves and
slants for real! There's no photo editing tools used to depict this
unconventionally structured edifice.
Designed by Szotyńscy & Zaleski, the
multipurpose building boasts a unique look that was inspired by the
fairy tale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg.
Like Jantzen's imagined works, this venue has a cartoonish appeal.
It looks like an animated house, bouncing in place to a jolly tune.
There's a jovial liveliness to the place that seems very inviting.
How could a family not be drawn to the welcoming Crooked
House?
