Who would live in a house like this? Couple build teapot-shaped house after buying 1-euro teapot in Thailand
When tattoo artist Maciej Chęsiak bought a 1-euro teapot from a village in Thailand, he had no idea that just a few years later he would end up living in one.
But after later visiting the Salvador Dali museum in Spain, globe-trotting Chęsiak returned to Poland and started building his own teapot-shaped house in Makowiska near Bydgoszcz.
Maciej said he was inspired after buying a 1-euro teapot in a Thai village.
Associating teapots with warmth and family, Chęsiak said: “I thought if we're going to build a house, let’s not let it be ordinary.
"Hence the idea for the shape of the teapot house.
Maciej said he associates the teapot with warmth and family.
“This rattled around in my head after a trip to Thailand, shortly after the country was hit by the tsunami.
“In 2005, I visited the Dali Museum in Spain. There were huge eggs on the roof. This concept - with the use of a non-obvious theme and inspired by nature - stuck in my memory.
“Some time later I came across an architectural idea designed by Javier Senosiaine and my favourite house was in the shape of a shell.”
Designed by the Sergiel architectural studio which specialises in dome-related architecture, the surreal Dali-esque family home will be ready later this year.
Originally from Solec Kujawski, when finished Chęsiak and his fiancée Jenifer Penroz want to set up a tattoo parlor in the house and in the future organise workshops on ‘unconventional’ projects.
