With the conviction that inhabiting unconventional spaces can enhance mindfulness and potentially enhance well-being, conceptual artists George Mason and James Elijah crafted a residential complex in Malaysia where whimsy takes precedence over practicality.

The result is a space that disorients yet revitalizes; filmmaker Charles Benjamin attested to notable health improvements after residing there for four years.
