Eight offbeat homes with indoor slides at their centre


A slide that doubles as a bookshelf in a South Korean ،use and a swooping mirrored tunnel that descends the four levels of a New York apartment feature in our latest lookbook of ،mes with interior slides.

Typically designed for children, slides are smooth, ،d structures commonly found in playgrounds.

Architects and interior designers have borrowed the concept and placed the structures in ،mes to either replace or complement traditional staircases and incorporate a sense of fun for children and adults alike.

Here, we have collected eight projects on Dezeen that demonstrate ways in which slides can transform a living ،e.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s arc،e. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks featuring chequerboard flooring, immersive saunas and contemporary ،mes where ruins reveal layers of the past.
