Experimental house designed at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.
Cylindrical design provides flexible space within a minimum housing unit. The prototype features 3 sections: there’s a bed and a table section, an exercise cylinder, and a kitchen with a sink.

As awesome as the idea is, it could give you quite a head spin I say ;) But one must salute the innovation and the idea.

Cool innovative house but its more looks like a room than a house. One thing for certain, is that the room can’t place things as it doesn’t has any hold or place function.

It would definitely be a fun sitting or living in such rolling house :)

This many posts in and no one has mentioned hamsters?
It seems more like a child’s clubhouse for adults, than an actual house. I would not mind having one in my backyard.

i dont think the whole thing rolls it spins internally seperatly
so you can roll either section
but i do love the idea just a bit cramped

1. Wow – adding a toilet could be messy when the rolling begins :)
2. You counting on there not be any meanies outside :)

Haha. Yeah, nice concept, this idea is more plausible as a room or than a house. :)

Neat idea. Very creative. Certainly keeps the junk drawer well sifted so you don’t lose things :)
+1 on the toilet comments.
I *am* surprised she’s not slipping all over the place in her stockings. Looks like smoothly finished plywood laminate, even in the exercise cylinder.

Looks fun – they should make a hotel full of these, but with seperate toilets…

That would be cool in a zero gravity or manipulatable gravity environment. A new step in spaceship design!

In the first picture, they show the outside of the house covered in logos of different companies. If I had a house like that, I wouldn’t want it to be decorated with white plastic and logos.
Very cool otherwise! But not my type.

She’s using the exercise wheel section with the laptop on the bed, not “rolling it” with the laptop on the bed… would you guys at least READ the VERY short captions… *sigh*
LOL!
I think it’d be an awesome outdoor study room, but I don’t know about being a house… and they said there’s a sink, but how would you get running water??? Maybe a bladder compartment that rolls with the section??? LOL!
