Reversible Destiny Lofts in Japan

Permalink 10:36:15 am by razen, Categories: Architecture

The Reversible Destiny Lofts are 9 apartments located in Mitaka, a suburb of Tokyo, Japan. They are designed by Shusaku Arakawa (Japanese artist based in New York) and his partner Madeline Gins (poet).

"Painted in eye-catching blue, pink, red, yellow and other bright colors, the building resembles the indoor playgrounds that attract toddlers at fast-food restaurants. Inside, each apartment features a dining room with a grainy, surfaced floor that slopes erratically, a sunken kitchen and a study with a concave floor. Electric switches are located in unexpected places on the walls so you have to feel around for the right one. A glass door to the veranda is so small you have to bend to crawl out. You constantly lose balance and gather yourself up, grab onto a column and occasionally trip and fall."
