‘Roll It’ Housing Solutions

Though the rich affluent still prefer to get their hands on luxury mansions, villas etc. yet there are numerous visionaries out there who wish to bring to the table new ideas for housing that are not only comfortable but also provide incredible ideas for space saving. Now, a group of students from the University of Karlsruhe in Germany have come up with a rather unusual but very practical solution to space saving living in the form of ‘Roll It’. This remarkable concept is essentially a cylinder shaped home that can change its entire appearance as per the requirement of the occupant. This one of a kind magnificent concept is the brainchild of Christian Zwick and Konstantin Jerabek who came up with this idea during their research on a ‘mobile and space-efficient construction’ project. Roll It essentially enables the occupants to change the entire aesthetics of the house as per the moment’s call. For instance, you can instantly transform the house into a workplace and then back to a bedroom or from a kitchen to a bathroom.









Roll It is comprised of an outer shell which that itself comes with four supporting rings and a torsion inner shell membrane. To ensure immediate and sustainable transformation, this unique housing concept has been given wooden slats that are fixed on the external membrane that enables the house to roll, stop and transform. As per the architecture of this remarkable home, the table and work space can be easily converted into a bedroom that comes with a mattress, which itself is held in its space with the help of Velcro. Furthermore, the transformed bedroom also provides ample room to store your blankets, pillows, linen and clothing. The front section of Roll It has been termed as ‘Wet’ zone that provides the occupants with a toilet, sink as well as a stove.
