Hanse Colani Rotor House
Designer Luigi Colani has created a space-saving house with a six square meter cylinder inside that contains a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.
The cylinder rotates left or right bringing the room you want into view of the main living room.
There's a separate toilet and a small hallway, and everything is controlled with a remote.
View of the cylinder from the living room.
The house was designed for young professionals who need minimal space while they focus on career.
The bathroom.
The bedroom.
The kitchen.
I would be scared living here, that while the cylinder was rotating, everything on my shelves would fly off due to centrifugal force.
I assume the speed isn't enough to worry about centrifugal force. But obviously you wouldn't be able to cook anything in the "kitchen", unless you microwave everything.
Also, what happens if you have someone staying the night and you need to go to the bathroom. You both have to get out of bed? Your companion gets to experiment with claustrophobia while they get rotated out of the living space?
Interesting idea but not practical.
What happens if you really have to pee and you can't find the remote?
