gizmodo.com — Eric Clough isn't your typical architectural designer. That's why, when given the opportunity, he secretly built an incredible scavenger hunt into a $8.5-million, 4,200-square-foot Park Avenue apartment that included ciphers, riddles, poems and a lot of hidden doors and compartments.

Drug dealers dream home. Cops will never be able to find the 10 keys of coke.

the shocker!

I suspect this is probably a fake story. At the very least, the architect's name is almost certainly a pseudonym. Clough is a gaelic name that is sometimes pronounced "clue". They continually refer to him as "Mr. Clough", and his first initial is E... Mister E. Clough... Mystery Clue.The fact that it's the NYTimes doesn't really enhance the reliability, either.

I can't help to imagine opening a secret door in the closet only to find Adam West.

No, It says the family has children, you'd turn around and they'd shove your laptop or a peanut butter sandwich in a compartment.

Yeah a little weird that an architect would do that to your home and not tell you. But it seems a lot of world renowned architects have a bit of strangeness in them.
