Famous Japanese artist-architect, Shusaku Arakawa with his wife, the poet Madeline Arakawa came up with an unusual residential building, whose construction was recently finished in one of the suburbs of Tokyo.

From the ceiling hang various shells so that you can cross the room without touching the floor.
