Luigi Colani's Space-Saving Rotor House

by TreeHugger on 11. 3.04
Design & Architecture

Bath pod.jpgThis compact little abode was designed by architect Luigi Colani as space-saving living unit. A six-square-meter cylinder inside the home contains a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Use your remote control to rotate the room-pod left or right, bringing the desired room into view. A main living area and small hallway round out the rest of the space. Ingenious in terms of efficiency and creativity, though we're not sure how the rotor-motor is fueled. Via Moco Loco, whom we wish a happy anniversary! [by MO]

Hi...
does anyone have any idea about how I can get my hands on the plan for this Rotor House?...with permission of course. I'd love to build four of them.

I contacted this company after reading the book "parasite paradise" but aparently they are prototype only and think only one of them was ever made.

They did not even bother to return my email so I had to call them to get an answer. :(
