This is the idea; build your house around an elevator- livingroom.
Basement: the garage
Ground floor: the garden
First floor: the kitchen
Second floor: the bathroom
Third floor: the bedroom
Fourth floor: panorama deck
No walking, space saving and allowing you to use
the emergency-stop button anytime you want to!

Such a house would enable you to install a fire-man's poll as a secondary way of getting about. |

fire-man's poll:
I like this idea because:
[ ] It involves elevators, which sometimes blow up...
[x]There is a large height difference so people will require my assistance when jumping out of windows
[ ] It has a big red emergency button, which is quite an exciting thing to press.
Sorry, Aristo! Didn't we have a rotating house design once? I suppose this is reasonably original. I only ask... why? |
|
| |
You'll need to ask [BartJan] for that. I was just suggesting a possible feature that such a building could support. |
|
| |
I got this picture in my head of how this all should look, and a fireman's pole is just been added. Thanks [Aristotle]. |

Huh? Difference between what? And what are you planning to do to help? Defenestrate them, or break their fall? And why would they be jumping? |
|
| |
Is a fireman's poll where you ask all the firemen their opinion? |
|
| |
hm, BartJan, the workings of your mind remain a mystery to me.
p'stu, they're jumping out when the house is on fire, and the height difference is between the ground and the floor from which they're jumping.
angel: yes, that's what I was getting at.
people just aren't finding me funny today. Arse. |

Oh sorry I'm really really stupid. Curse you, beer! I will make you pay! I'll drink you all ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! |
|
| |
Yeah, sorry, [lg]. It's minimal-attention-span-day. |
|
| |
not the basement.....the ground floor to add fertilizer to the garden.... |
|

I want a big house in the shape of a J for my name. I can
make it into the world's biggest J-slide :) sorry that was

Well [blissmiss], we could turn the concept around for you. Let's make the bathroom the elevator, so you'll be able to get everywhere with your disabillities. |
|
| |
But how would an elevator bathroom deal with plumbing issues? |
|
| |
Store it in (hopefully very well sealed!) tanks, and dump it into the sewer system whenever the elevator hits the ground floor... |
|
| |
[lewisgirl], just for you I added security cushions on the floor... |
|
| |
And what about 'Elevation' from U2 as the theme-song for this house? |
