How can I get a hold of the manufacturer or plans? What about the pricing? I am all for efficient, compact, and enviromentally friendly housing. I totally dig this concept.

I also believe that if and when the population of the U.S.A and the world in general increases it will help to save space and it would be more efficient. to have one of these hosues. plus like i said before it is really cool.

Bathrooms, toilets are an essential, necessary component to a happy mind & body. Why build a home with so many limitations? For now I'll reserve judgement until I hear more. Perhaps this is just a proto-type to stimulate others to get their own imaginations going and come up with something more realistic and useful in todays world.

Space has become limited and housing costs have sky rocketed, however this seems a reliable way of decreasing the cost and helping the environment. I must say that more should be included in the design such as a larger bed and bathtub, but generally more space for tiny things such as clothes. The design should incorporate more energy efficient aspects, like solar panels on the roof or other things, there are thousands of possibilities! I must say that for a family or even a couple this would be a mighty strain, but for one...perfect. It remains to be seen whether this, the miniaturization of homes, will become more widespread, but heck, I wanna get involved! I would buy a house like this.

Unless the unused rooms vanish into some alternate dimension when out of sight, there is the same floor space involved as for a conventionally efficient design, except with the Colani you can't use more than one room at once and have the added cost and space of the motorized turntable and the complexity of the plumbing and electrical connections. I guess if a guest has to use the toilet while dinner is being prepared, they'll just have to hold it. And heaven forbid you wake up in the middle of the night to use the toilet and can't find the remote. Yeah, and closets would be nice, too.Like most art, definitely better appreciated from a distance...

Is there a closet in this structure? It doesn't look like there is even space to put a book or glass of water in the bedroom unit. I wonder about designs that force people to change their basic needs, rather than design that accommodates the reality of how we live day to day.Perhaps this unit has storage built in, like some boat cabins, but what I see in the photos is an aesthetic driving structure rather than function. I wonder if a couple has actually lived in this unit for any extended period of time. Not to be a humbug, but this seems more of a concept house than a realistic approach to modern living.

I'm not sure I'd be a huge fan of living in it though... seems too much like living inside A Clockwork Orange. Now that is an interesting little house!
