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, electric switches are located in unexpected places on the

trip and fall.Arakawa says “[The apartment] makes you alert and awakens instincts, so you’ll live better, longer and even forever,†says the artist.
