I love this! This house is called the Krzywy Domek, or Crooked House—an irregularly shaped building in Poland, inspired by the fairytale illustrations and drawings of fantasists Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg.

The house we bought in 2002 came with this crazy 3-level deck, part of which—a ramp leading to the sort-of attached garage—was covered by a very sloped little roof. No part of the deck was really quite large enough to be useful for entertaining or relaxing, so it became kind of a storage space for plants, a potting table, recyclables, plastic chairs, etc. I don’t think I was able to get my husband to spend more than one or two short spells out on the deck during the entire eight years that it existed!
