Home is a place where you should be able to relax and feel
comfortable. Unless you live in one of the Reversible Destiny Lofts in Mitaka,
Japan, where the architecture is designed to constantly challenge your brain
and keep you on your toes. The concrete floors feature random bumps. Random ladders, poles and balconies are
situated everywhere. Nothing is shaped as it should be, including the rooms themselves.
The goal of the architects was to design a living space that
will keep its inhabitants’ bodies and minds stimulated so that they can live
longer. Sort of like an architectural version of Sudoku. I get what the designers
were going for, I really do … but I dunno. I think I’d rather be able to
shuffle to the bathroom in the middle of the night without tripping over an
artfully placed mogul.
