This Home Is a Real Puzzle
Today, let's take a diversion from my usual focus on Phoenix area homes, with a side trip to New York City. Anyone fascinated by unique architecture will be intrigued by the Fifth Ave Klinsky-Sherry home, in which architectural designer Eric Clough embedded 18 clues that lead the family on a scavenger hunt through the rooms of their home.
Inspired by his client's request to hide a poem written by Mr. Klinsky for his family somewhere in the house, like a time capsule, Clough went on to secretly hide a treasure hunt within the apartment. He revealed few of his plans to the family, who, in fact, did not realize how unique their home was until 4 months after moving in, when their son's overnight guest suddenly realized that letters cut into a radiator grill formed a cipher.
For more about this fascinating home, visit the New York Times article, "Mystery on Fifth Avenue". Don't miss the (link) slideshow presentation of photos from this beautiful and unusual apartment. You may need to register to read the story; it's worth the effort!
