Well look at this. Somehow I don't see our Local Authority planners letting me demolish my 1894 built house to replace it with one of these. The apartments are known as Reversible Destiny Lofts. To make life interesting the floor of the dining room slopes erratically, the one in the kitchen is sunken and the study is something else, featuring a concave floor! Power switches are located in quite unexpected places making it interesting for you when you return home at 4 a.m. after a night in a club and triple vision induced by too much alcohol intake. A glass door to the veranda is so small you have to bend to crawl out. One constantly loses balance, trips and falls, great for granny with broken hips and dislocated knees galore! There's no airing cupboard space and residents will have to find a way to live there. "[The apartment] makes you alert and awakens instincts, so you'll live better, longer and even forever," says Arakawa.
Some hope after you have fallen over and banged your head!
This development was completed last October, the apartments are selling for $763,000 each—about twice as much as a normal apartment in that neighborhood.

The architects are Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins, whose moto is Architecture Against Death. The development was unveiled a few months ago and forms a small apartment complex in the Tokyo suburb of Mitaka. Whether the apartments are anything but comfortable and calming is open to interpretation. "People, particularly old people, shouldn't relax and sit back to help them decline," Arakawa insists. "They should be in an environment that stimulates their senses and invigorates their lives".
