Little house. big world.
This space saving pod house with rotating rooms is designed by Luigi Colani, originally created for a young professional couple, yet has the potential for mass production.
The super sleek wooden exterior is only half as interesting as what's inside - a rotating cylinder adjacent to the living area that contains four rooms that can be rotated into view, saving on critical circulation normally sucked up by hallways and other support spaces.
The concept is great but I question how liveable this super tiny 20 sq ft cylinder really is... I think I'd get claustrophobic!
