Somehow I'm 
taken by the notion of a revolving domicile as envisioned by the German group TurnOn. Inspired by “2001: A Space Odyessey,” Japanese pod hotels, and who knows what, the idea is that you can rotate through sleep, work and eat, all in one simple spin of your own custom gerbil-run.
“In Rethinking traditional ideas of the house as a structure composed of walls ceiling and floor, Austrian Architecture firm AllesWirdGut, looked to the future. Well, the past really... Temporal Semantics aside, their inspiration for their project, TurnOn, came from Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. Specifically, the rotating zero gravity room. TurnOn is a unique curcluar living module designed to accommodate multiple functions associated with the house.”
