Scan the article. Where are the lofts? Where does Dan Phillips build houses?
Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins
are famous designers. Their nine lofts
near Tokyo, Japan, are very colorful.
The apartments are blue, pink, red,
yellow, and other bright colors. Inside,
the walls are colorful, too. The floors go
up and down, and some rooms are
round. The windows have strange
shapes, so there are no curtains. There
are small doors to the outside. Inside,
there arent any closets. The bookcase is
in the middle of the living room.

Dan Phillips likes to help people. He

builds houses for artists and other
low-income people in Huntsville, Texas,
in the United States. One house, the
tree house, is in a large tree in the
forest. It has windows on the floor! It
also has a small kitchen. The bed is on
the upstairs floor. There is a wood-
burning stove from an old ship in the
living room. Phillips teaches people how to
build houses with recycled materials.
