Rollit Homes
Students at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany designed these chic modular homes, which are built to incorporate multiple uses inside one small living space. The home functions like a mouse on a wheel; the homeowner can change the structure of the house by walking in the center to rotate it. With just a little bit of daily exercise, the unit can be turned to reveal a bed, lounge chair, table, shower, toilet, or a kitchen sink — all in the same space!

I dont get it! What does it do, and how do you live in it?
Wouldn't it be funny if you had to poop really bad and you were rolling the house to get to the toilet, and you rolled to far!? Picture it! Someone yelling I GOTTA POOP!
Sailboats can act as small homes and combination transportation.
cool! but how do you spin a toilet upside down if the toilet has water in it? that's my only question, other than that, great!
for the phrase "I need to run to the bathroom." with this rollit home.
need to see how this works. what happens to the toilet water, utensils and pots and pans. i mean u'd have to strap everything down everyday? what if ur on the pot and ur partner comes home and rotates the house or sleeping and he comes home drunk and starts rotating it to use the bathroom! lol
You read my mind. That was what i was thinking when reading this artical. lol
what happens when you roll it and the toilets upside down? gross
this would actually be pretty awesome. . . if it were in a basement or garage that you lived in, and you needed a toilet and bathroom. would be great for a homeless person too. other than that, no thanks. these are all just smaller sized mobile homes with no protection from weather, robbing, and rape. people wouldn't even have to "break in" to your home if you had one of these. . . they would just have to walk in.
what would you do if you came home drunk and had to find the toilet??
hahaha, dont get drunk then..
but it makes sense if u really rushing, you'll end up pee/poo anywhere
Does anyone live in one now? I imagine with children it might not work out that well...?
I DONT GET HOUSE NUMBER 5. ITS SO WEIRD!!!!
What about the water in the toilet?
Um?!?! How Do They Get Heat In These Mini Houses I Mean Like Do They Just Sit In The Cold.

maybe only that segment of it rolls, people. which im sure it does.
You'd have to be a Hobbit not to hit your head in this thing.
I would absolutly buy this(:
I'm sure the thing is on axles so it rolls in place.......!
I don't think the whole thing rolls around on the ground, it's probably mounted on some sort of stand. (maybe)
No thank you
Think Ill take the high life
Maybe some sort of hanging device added would mean you wouldn't need the big outdoor space- like a mouses wheel?
Would not want to roll the toilet too far. Wouldn't want to be around during any kind of wind, either.
Sure, it's in the same small space, but you need a big space outdoors to roll around in.
I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be free rolling. It must be on axles so it rolls in place.....
