Novel, but in the real world it\'s useless.

Some of it might be interesting in a RV, or private airplane. But the toilet in the cooking area? YUCK!!!

I wonder where do these crazy concepts come from? How much do you need to smoke to come with something like THAT =)

In an odd way, this is some tricxkle-down tech from the space race... unfettered by gravity, and using primarily cylindical components, many space vehicle, and compnents of the ISS have similar interiors. It may not be practical for housing (although I could easily see the bed/work area installed in a room), it does show innovative thought and forward thinking.
Hmm.... I wonder if the bed/desk concept would fit into junior\'s room?!?

Interesting... I wonder how much Grant/Scholarship money was spent to build this useless prototype... in the age of VR Technology, can't we get a feel for interesting, possibly inspiring, and credibly creative, but utterly useless concepts virtually and put the funds to a little more productive use... like giving someone else a chance at an education. I mean no disrespect to the students, this kind of out of the box thinking is where innovation is born - but building a full scale model honestly seems to be such a waste of money and material. Shouldn't our universities be better stewards of their spending? of course the governments of the world have yet to tackle that as well!

Here are some of the things that cannot be rolled over: the p traps in the drains, the toilet, the refrigerator & AC, pictures on the wall and the payments.

other things best not rolled over...my \"bed\" and my \"desk\" this place reminds me that anoxexia has parallels in other areas of lifestyle...

I like it!

Once again, what wonderful things do all these critics create that entitle them to be scathing in their comments? I think that it saves space,provides exercise and keeps people organized and alert. You can't be very sloppy in a house like that. I think if it were to form a hostel it would be very popular and the water issues could then become communal. I like it- it sure is a lot more efficient than all the wasted space and materials I see in the big metro areas. What about stadiums? Talk about waste. How can there be homeless when there are stadiums? Call me a dreamer but I say that greed,lies and denial are pushing humanity beyond the point of no return: critical mass. If people like this can literally think "outside the box" at this level, where will they be in a few years? We need to re-think our modern versions of "slash&burn" socio-economic procedures. This exercise does have merit in that AT LEAST it's not some big huge black hole yacht that only exists on some CGI file to soak up millions of dollars from some greedy arrogant individual. Gizmag has shown many of those-are they "practical"? At least this is real and represents an artistic departure from the mundane... for those amongst the masses that are ready for change. It inspires those of us who are pursuing creative alternatives such as homes built from shipping containers.

I reckon those that are disgusted with the toilet being near the kitchen must not go out to restaurants much since most of them also have toilets near the kitchen area to minimize plumbing infrastructure.
For my part I predict these modular housing concepts will be common by 2100 due to the necessity to optimize living space with overpopulation.
