Playful Indoor Slide Sweeps


New York-based architect David Hotson, in collaboration with designer Ghislaine Viñas, has completed an ambitious architectural project known as SkyHouse that features a wonderful blend of modernity and everlasting childhood. The four-story complex, atop a Manhattan skyscraper, is filled with eye-catching geometric, contemporary design but it is the inclusion of glass bridges, adventurous wall climbing fixtures, and especially a playful slide that sets it apart from other living spaces.
Inspired by artist Carsten Höller's Test Site installation at London's Tate Modern in 2006, Hotson incorporated a similar slide inSkyHouse that allows its residents to swoop down from floor-to-floor. The mirror polished stainless steel tube invites anyone with a playful spirit to reach in through the circular entrance and spiral down through the unique apartment. There is a brief break at the third floor where one has the opportunity to exit but there is also the choice to re-enter the slide for a quick trip to the main level.

  1. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
