I think, if I lived there, I'd constantly be paranoid about stumbling in the kitchen door, tripping over that bumpy floor, and flying over into that kitchen grotto or orchestra pit or whatever you want to call it (where the appliances are), and landing on the stove. NOT a good house if you are coordination-challenged.

Please, someone, tell me there was some way to close off the bathroom for some privacy there. Nothing like everyone who happens to be in the house being able to see your business when you're using the toilet or taking a bath.
4million for a house where you can see the bathtub/bathroom from the kitchen stove. WOW. when my babies were little and lived in the tub, this would be great. But, in this house, you can't see into the tub from the stove, so I wouldn't know when they had drowned.
Hmmm, seen plenty of sunken tubs. Never did see a sunken stove. I never could find the fridge. Which means it's small, or sunken. Either way it's usless!
Oh I wish I lived in NY so that I could pretend to be a buyer and walk thru the house!!!!

The floor is apparently concrete *crestfallen look as hopes of bouncing around are dashed*. Apparently the architects' philosophy is that people die because the spaces they live in are too comfortable. The logical solution is thus to make a very uncomfortable house that leaves you feeling disoriented. Of course that does leave the question why would you want to live a longer very uncomfortable life? *sighs and settles back in nice cozy, comfy chair*
Fpr only $3 million, I will sell you a house that is the lifetime culmination of my philosophy, which is that people with too much money should give it to me.

As is spending a mint to create unlivable space, in uncomfortable surroundings. Why not just go out of your way to stub your toe constantly? It's cheaper, and your utility bills are lower. The condition of your toes would basically be the same though.

Oh my gosh, that WSJ article was a howl. No one deserves what Madoff did, that's for sure. I'm very sorry the couple lost their savings.
I do think it's amusing that their architecture is sort of aimed at the self-loathing set. "Feel comfortable, happy? That's a harbinger of doom! Be uncomfortable, live in a cold house, be unable to furnish your rooms, know constant frustration and live forever." Well, now, doesn't that sound fun? Great comments on how their style of architecture is likely to break an older person's neck, too.
But this had me giggling:

Their theory of living longer through discomfort will only be interrupted by gunfire between occupants or a sole gunman on the roof with a deer rifle.
That bathroom is indeed door free. As the artists intended. "You make your own privacy" is from the article. Funny stuff.
Don't forget to enlarge the photos. You need to get a feel for the home.
By the way, I fully expect someone to walk off the upper level and step into a running garbage disposal. Every day, someone will be hitting something painful on any one of those hundred sharp corners. This place needs a bulldozer.

We recently forked out $200/night at the Hyatt Regency in New Delhi, where we discovered that the wall between the bathroom and the rest of the room was just textured glass. And the shower was right up against the wall. So if you were in the shower, there was a really nice silhouette of you for everyone in the room to see. Apparently there's a whole world of people out there who don't think that bathroom privacy is something of value.
My question is: if they've only been developing this philosophy behind such architecture for forty years, how do they know it leads to exceedingly long lives?
its a habitat for educated chimps. this is where the lab chimps who come from nymh go to live.
seriously, its made for beings which may crawl on all fours to get around. I highly doubt that cave dwellers have such unsettled grounds in their caves. and where do people sleep? propped up on the cement with a blanket?
I found the fridge, its the dishwasher looking thing next to the sink. I think people will live longer because they will not be able to store up food, all food needs to be purchased in 48 hour increments because there's not place to store it or dishes.
and who wants to try to balance in a salad bowl shaped tub to bathe? hmm, anyone?

This house is very disappointing. The key to longevity is not good balance, it's strong sphincter muscles. It's sad that the toilet is affixed to the floor, just like every boring house, instead of to the wall.

I don't get it. Your stripper shoes would like, totally never be able to balance on that flooring texture as you pole dance. Amateurs.

Hmmmm.
Perhaps they should have Madoff spend the rest of his days in there...instead of the big pen.

Buyer pool, one in ten million. Good luck with that! Sometimes rich people are stupid.(does this cross the line of commenting on a "class"--or is it "klass"????

I like wine too much to live there - stumbling to my death the first Saturday I'm hanging at "home" surely would screw up their theory.

It sure doesn't look like anyone's 'living in a sculpture' there.

Anyone have a bus....I think we need to take a "tour" as a group. You know..our 'commune' wants to live there. Seriously, I would make us all beanies...so we could go in there. What is that shtfuff on the floor made of? It looks like a petri dish, to me!
