The owner of this home says it is "immoral" for people to have to die. Arakawa and his wife Madeline Gins designed this [offbeat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumagaya-house) (understatement of the year) home. The undulating floor is like a 12 year old with acne -- it has *a lot* of bumps. But the owners believe the home, called Bioscleave House (Lifespan Extending Villa) will make people use their bodies in unusual ways which will provide [health benefits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opera-beds).

**Implications** - The Bioscleave House tends to throw people off balance for reasons both literal and figurative. The house has a undulating floor and the owners that the unique design will encourage people to interact differently in the home.
