Living on rainbow road

A Phoenix, AZ apartment building inspired by Nintendo’s Mario Kart video game is ready for occupancy, developers have announced. The 36-unit Rainbow Road complex features a black exterior with geometric windows, while the interior uses the bright colours featured in the racing game: red, yellow, green, cyan and blue.

“Rainbow Road is a reminder that cities don’t have to be neutral”, the creative director at Räkkhaus said in a press release last week. “They can be playful, imaginative, and alive.” Image: Intersection Development And Räkkhaus Studio
