apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Really love this concept but these pics don't seem to really convey the effect...nor does the link. The exterior shot is striking in that wooded setting...either like a modern day (or contemporary!!!???!!!) Parthenon...or a storage facility.

mindblowing.

exposed.

cooped up on a rainy day, everybody could find a corner of their own.

I don't really grock the sleeping spaces... where is they?

For something so "interconnected" the individual room spaces seem strangely disconnected from each other...

The reddish room looks like it should come with a matching straight jacket and a foofy drink. I don't quite get it, but I'm trying.

The Japanese have been building hallways around the perimeter of homes for a thousand years! Each room then has sliding panels so the room can be open completely to the outer, hallway windows, or screened off with sliding soji (paper screens), or closed off completely by sliding wood panels. The Merry Go Round house seems to have opted for part of this arrangement.

I would LOVE to have a crazy fun vacation home like this! I couldn't live in this house full-time, but it seems like an inspiring retreat.

I'm sorry, but all I can think of in that pinkish/reddish room is Pepto Bismol...

It's also a little too austere and cold for a vacation home. If I'm on vacation, I want comfort.

Digging the skylight in the shower, though.

I love the shower a LOT.

The sleeping spaces appear to be just walled in platform beds on the lower/right side of the layout.

If you didn't take up all that square footage with unusable hallways, you could expand the rooms and actually use the space. Turn the interior windows into doors.

I don't get it either, unless the goal was to build a tiny vacation home with an indoor track. Or a really nice hallway.

That pink/red room gives me a headache! Not sure I get the whole layout of the home...the rooms look incredibly tiny.
