Have you ever wished for more challenges in life? Do you yearn for a house that makes you fight to stand up, instead of encouraging you to relax?

Artists Arkawana and Madeline Gins have taken this idea to heart, saying that this kind of constant disorientation forces you to confront life head on and "improves your immune system". "They ought to build hospitals like this."

The New York Times reporter who visited the house begged to differ as he slipped and slid through the interior. Clearly, this novel approach to hospital design had yet to win him over.

The house is so disorienting that they make visitors sign a release before touring the place, and children are not allowed in at all. It is now for sale for its construction cost of approximately $2 million.

We can give Steven Holl, architect of the house, the last word: "It has to do with the idea that you are only as old as you think you are."
