Because of my curiosity, I searching about that buildings with "The Crooked House" keywords on web, and.. what I found isn't bout buildings, but... a movie? maybe the architecture inspired by the movie. Ok wrong keywords, I try another keywords with "krzywy domek" and... wohooo i found this! well, I think this building is the most extraordinary buildings in the whole world cause of this!
This!

And this!
Wonderful right? and the name of that building is Krzywy Domek.
Krzywy Domek is an irregularly-shaped building in Sopot, Poland. Krzywy Domek was built in 2004. It is approximately 4,000 square meters in size and is part of the Rezydent shopping center. It was designed by Szotyńscy & Zaleski who were inspired by the fairytale illustrations and drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg. It can be entered from either Monte Cassino or Morska Streets.
Inside the Dom,you'll find the best concentration of shops, restaurants, and drinking establishments in all of Sopot. Each and every store is classy, sophisticated (but not too posh), and unique.
If you're a night owl, whose plumage is brighter than most, then the Krzywy Dom is the place to perch! Here, style and comfort are one, and you can enjoy any number of deliciously mixed drinks, or simply enjoy a beer without being pounded by techno or the rowdy screams of football fans. Caipirinka has a lively vibe, or if you prefer a glass of the red, red vino, than Vini Sfere has the label you're looking for.
The Krzywy Dom has some shining stars of the Sopot restaurant scene and its drinking establishments are pure class.
Krzywy Domek ever held some events like 11 of Europe's most bizarre buildings (2013), Jerzy Gruza in Krzywy Domek (2010), The first Parfum bar in Pomerania (2010), and Art studio jewelry FRYCZWOLIŃS (2010).
The Krzywy Domek website describes the complex as follows:
"The showpiece of Sopot and the symbol of the modern world that harmoniously combines business with culture and art."
Each day plenty of people pay visits to us to conduct business, eat, enhance their health or do shopping. This place is the seat of offices of companies representing various industries, beauty salons, doctors’ offices, shops and the like. In the evening the Krzywy Domek is vibrant with life, as well. Its clubs and pubs provide extensive programmes of events and their top quality and diverse catering will satisfy all tastes – both sophisticated and traditional ones.
The Krzywy Domek – this place never sleeps!"
