reversible destiny lofts

apartments designed by arakawa + gins. idea is to put one's body in the centre of living. anymore explanation by me would be misleading, but if you are interested, check the following : http://www.reversibledestiny.org/texts/lofts.html





the heart of the unit is like a donut. the 'hole' is a sunken kitchen surrounded by a circular undulating circulation space that massages your feet. it feels stangely good.



sitting on the floor puts you at the right height for eating at the kitchen counter.

there are rooms that feel more like pods off the circulation space. one of these is a spherical room where your voice is amplified and echoed back to you if you sat dead centre. also, it is very comfortable to just lie there and listen to atsushi talk architecture.






to live here would take a lot of getting used to and on the way a lot of creative storage solutions invented. i like it, i like it a lot. it would change your life. perhaps i just need some paint to make it less shocking.
