Clever Kitchen takes up 18 Square Feet

So if you live in small spaces, why give up so much to the kitchen? And why move to another part of the kitchen when you can move the kitchen to you? New Zealand designer Alfred Averbeck spun out this idea for a kitchen that has the equivalent of 12 cupboards in a rotating kitchen, with doors that close to cover all of your unwashed dishes, (although it then looks just like the Orgasmatron from Woody Allen's Sleeper.) Somehow there are watertight rotating connections in the hub so that you can rotate the kitchen even if the dishwasher is running. Perfect for urban lofts; no walls required and who cooks anyways? Depending on appliances, from US$ 6,500 From CC Concepts via ::Azure

Anybody know if you can actually cool with this thing, or is it the claustrophobic mini-sized answer I hope it's not? Either way, great idea!

I take issue with the complete absence of counter space, but that issue aside, I wonder if this idea could be adapted to improve accessibility for disabled persons. If one can access everything or nearly everything from one location, mobility-impaired persons could be well-served.

Is the circular kitchen available in Southern California? Where?

Does anyone have feedback from someone who is using it?
