Smurfy Tower

Smurfy Tower is a location that once existed in the Smurf Forest in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. Constructed by Handy with the help of Architect, it is basically a Smurf version of an apartment building, designed with conveniences such as heating, plumbing, and an elevator. Architect was inspired with the creation of Smurfy Tower after watching a colony of ants return to their hole in a tree stump, impressed by how they manage to live together as a community within a compact space.

At first the Smurfs couldn't see the point of living in such a place like Smurfy Tower, but after Architect explained about the comfort and conveniences that it can offer them, most if not all of the Smurfs were willing to move into the smurfominium. However, the Smurfs barely started to settle in when there were problems such as a lack of heat and no plumbing control. Architect and Handy were constantly on the run fixing one problem after another that cropped up with the Smurfs living in Smurfy Tower, that eventually Architect had accidentally caused the problem of setting the whole place on fire by not closing the furnace gate. Soon all the Smurfs were abandoning their apartments as Papa Smurf led a fire brigade to hose down Smurfy Tower, but Architect refused to abandon his creation until he had to rescue his friend Handy when the floor collapsed under him.

After seeing Smurfy Tower being left in ruins, the Smurfs decided that living in the Smurf Village was better for them and so moved back into the village, with Brainy saying that life in Smurfy Tower is for the birds. By springtime, Brainy's words would be taken literally as Handy and Architect saw that birds have now made their nests in the ruins.
