A Tiny Apartment Transforms Into 24 Rooms
- stretchwithme 16y agoThis is the future for non-rich people living in congested cities. I can even see units constituting a room being shared between neighbors, assuming the robots will clean it in between uses.
- barrkel 16y agoGood for people not sharing the space. Rather inconvenient otherwise.

- stcredzero 16y agoSomething bothered me about it when I saw it. Now I know -- it looks lonesome. It's perfectly optimized for the stylish modern lifestyle of one single guy. It reminds me too much of my own place. (Except mine's not nearly that stylish.)
- tzury 16y agoThat's right, however I think it is worth watching again, especially when in this time he gets more screen time explaining more about it. I think submarines designers should see this as well.
- foomarks 16y agoIt's good to read this again because I couldn't put my finger on it before: despite the ingenuity of the storage system, this guy is living with so much stuff that it feels claustrophobic.
- jpcx01 16y agoWow, I'm going to have bad dreams about that place.
- redfiche 16y agoIt has a bathtub, but you have to move three walls to get to it. How long before that gets old?
- dkokelley 16y agoCould this be done effectively in an RV?
- duck 16y agoNo, an RV's interior is about using lightweight materials and a design that can "flex" with the vehicle. Something like this would add too much weight, thus making it more of a R (ie it wouldn't be able to move).
- JeffL 16y agoSame sort of thing in the 5th Element.
