Push button house I get for an emergency shelter perhaps.  But I don't get the round things?  Are they living modules of some sort?  :-?  What's their purpose?

The way I understand it is. In order to walk from one "ROOM" to the other,you must rotate the entire structure. Bedroom, Kitchen table, The idea of a rotating toilet kind of scares me!
It makes me think of a hamster on a wheel.

Nothing if not unique! Can't imagine such a place would be anything but a novelty.

George Bernard Shaw built a writing hut that was setup on a ball bearing turntable so that he could step outside and turn the little building to adjust the angle of the sun coming in the windows. That seems like a more practical rotating building to me.

The Shaw one would be nice for a writing room.

For the other--think about what could happen if you left the soup on the stove when you went to the bathrom!  (of course, aside from "all you've got to do is be careful", one could design the kitchen and bathroom in different modules.

I do have a doggie water bowl that almost, at least, won't spill.  Somebody has taken to turning it over while I'm gone, so far it's working.
