This apartment complex is straight outta Squid Game!

Enter Ricardo Bofill’s La Muralla Roja. There’s a good chance Squid Game took some heavy influence from this as it’s actually been around quite awhile. The 1968 functioning apartment complex is located in Calp, Spain.

The design supposedly took references from the Mediterranean Arab architecture in the surrounding area.

Although Squid Game director Hwang Dong-hyuk credits the architecture to M.C. Escher, I can’t help but guess he must have seen Ricardo’s work at some point.
