Luigi Colani’s work combines form and function at the same time. At once functional and minimalist, this quaint rotor house is a refreshing architectural work.
Designed to save space, this house’s main feature is a six-square meter cylinder that contains three rooms: a bedroom, a bathroom, and kitchen. It is remote-controlled and can revolve towards the left or right. This enables the person to bring the room he wants into the view of the living room.
Most have viewed this design as very efficient and compact, as all the essentials – the place to sleep, to eat, and to take a bath, are all combined into one rotating tube. You can literally, move your space around, giving you instant accessibility and customization. Luigi Colani’s aim of “maximum living area with minimum outer dimensions” is a perfect fit.
The house was created in cooperation with Hanse Haus, and was said to be designed for “young professionals who need minimal space while they focus on career.”
