Tim Hornibrook : Inside the house in the East Hamptons its designers said would postpone ageing
Our wellness-obsessed culture may stipulate that green smoothies and hot
yoga are the answers to anti-ageing, but this thoughtfully designed East Hamptons’ house was claimed to be a space in which you could postpone ageing and defy mortality.
The Bioscleave House (lifespan extending villa), designed by husband
and wife architects Arakawa and Madeline Gins, is up for sale and comes
with a rider that it could increase your lifespan and improve the
wellbeing of anyone who lives there.
Unconventionally designed, the house has no internal doors, an
overwhelming amount of colour, and undulating floors and windows at
inconsistent heights to challenge the conventional – varying depths and
heights mean people inside find it difficult to decipher where the
horizon line sits, as the roof and the floor are not always a fixed
distance from each other.
