<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Personally I love the idea. It is
certainly possible to design something like that but what I have
yet to find is anyone who would truly want to live in it, beyond
seeing it as a curiosity. Cultural expectations are the major
barrier, not technical nor design constraints. This means such an
idea has the most potential in heavily urbanised areas (where
people expect to have less space) - thus, the Japanese seem to be
masters of space efficiency and would be the place to start for
precedents. <br>
<br>
In suburban Australia, where I work, a very common request in the
brief for a house is, "a small house with larger than average
rooms" - it's an uphill battle. I'm interested to see what Thomas
and the students come up with.<br>
