Outdoor Deck & Inside Room Linked via Climbing Walls & Ladders

Young at heart won’t quite cut it in this case – you have to be physically fit to scale the steep options available for getting to the top floor of this gymnastic house.

In an overhung semi-exterior niche, the climbable wall starts as a sheltered bouldering zone but wraps up to let you reach as high as the rooftop deck area if adventurous enough.

The inside equivalent is a ladder that leads to the highest level of the home, rejoining the outside climbing wall via a window where they intersect at the upper landing.

Designed in Tokyo by Naf Architect & Design, it is hard to imagine any aspect of this passing building inspection in the United States, but at least there is a parapet at the roof level to keep the over-exuberant climber from reaching up, over and tumbling back down the even great drop on the flip side of their climb.

Upward Spiral Showerhead is a Watery Homage to Nature

This graceful spiral shower calls to mind the spirals found in seashells along the beach. With one long, sweeping curve, the shower both delivers relaxing falling water and provides a means for maintaining your modesty.

Even as water rushes through the pipe to the showerhead, the pipe is also supporting a privacy curtain.

The elegant curve of the spiral combined with the naturally soothing element of water create a relaxing atmosphere – exactly what you need when washing the stresses of the day away.
