You're always inside.

You're always outside, too.

With Klein rooms, too.

Never wait for the bathroom, as you are already inside.

Never send your kids to their room, they are already there.

You never have to worry about eating in the livingroom, you are always in the dining room AND the livingroom at the same time.

Dirt never gets tracked inside because it always is outside, or it was inside to begin with, depending on your point of view!

Theives? No problem. They can't come in as they are always outside!

Mobius Homes; You're always inside!

       Moebius strips are easy to visualize; Klein bottles give me a headache. A Klein house would probably make my head explode.

       You would always be eating in the bathroom, grody.   

       I don't know what you're talking about

       your right. I deleted it. I don't delete annos very often, but you said I would, so I did.

       Heinlein explored a similar idea in a short story published in 1940. You can read it at the link.
