It was designed by the architect Jakub Szczęsny through the architecture firm Centrala, and named after Israeli writer and filmmaker Etgar Keret, who was the building’s first tenant.

The entire interior is painted white and the building’s electricity is obtained from a neighboring building. The house has custom water and sewage technology and is not connected to the city-provided water systems. Because of its small size, the building only accommodates a small 2-beverage refrigerator, and occupants use a ladder to travel from level to level. Entry is via retractable stairs that, when closed, become the living area.
