Curved house in Sopot, Poland
Built in 2004 in one of the busiest commercial centers in Sopot (Poland), this unique house always impresses and intrigues visitors every time they come here. Facing this strange house, we often have the illusion of being "twisted" like it is. It can be said that this is a unique work of two Polish architects, Szotynscy and Zaleski. The idea of this "unique" house comes from the fairy tale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and from the paintings of Per Dahlberg, a Swedish artist living in the Sopot region. With an area of up to 4,000 m2, this is the most "photogenic" building in Poland.

Nakagin Tower, Japan
Nakagin Capsule Tower is considered one of the famous Japanese architectural works, located right in the capital Tokyo. With an extremely special architectural style, the entire building is based on two intersections, which are also two extremely strong structural systems, from which "capsules" extend, which, according to the architects' intention, are comfortable rooms. Nakagin Capsule is a great success at the forefront of the Metabolism movement founded by Kurokawa Kisho, a world-famous Japanese architect. Currently, Nakagin Capsule is listed as one of the architectural heritages of humanity that needs to be preserved.
