Shut up Meg posted:The giant round window is your door. Except there's no way to get there without a ladder outside. You don't get in because the building doesn't exist. All those pods in the exterior shot are copied and pasted from a single picture, which is why the perspective looks so hosed

GotLag posted:You don't get in because the building doesn't exist. On the website they have concept diagrams with a great big fire escape kind of thing at the back ... so you're meant to enter through the shower. Shut up Meg posted:E: The most efficient use of floorspace is a boring old cuboid. Yeah, pretty much this. When I've stayed in this kind of accommodation in Hong Kong it's been a rectangular room with just enough room for the bed, and a corner partitioned off as a combination toilet/shower. If you really wanted to do this, I don't doubt that you could get 2.2mx2.2m square-profile concrete tubes for the same price as the 2.2m diameter pipe.

Meanwhile shipping containers are already square, stackable, not concrete, and available to purchase. My idea to increase Silicon Valley housing is to stack techbro container studios under the highways. Please, somebody...

The two big problems I see with them are the air gaps between them and the total lack of insulation. Concrete isn't a great insulator, and the air gaps between the units mean that even a light breeze will bring the units to Ambient°. Also, how do you mount even a minisplit in that mess? Hex or rectangular would have been loads better, at least then you could sandwich insulation between the units. The best you could do with this is a case of Great Stuff, which isn't very good.

Because if you use custom built materials you have to admit that you are just designing 21st century slave quarters, not a quirky mini home to bravely take on the "housing crisis".
