21st century googie: a house built around a cylinder

Cory Doctorow: London is full of little houses called "two-up-and-two-downs" -- a kitchen and a sitting-room on the ground floor, and two bedrooms (and a bathroom) upstairs. Two rooms up, two rooms down. It's a kind of basic building-block of London housing.

This futuristic little six-square-metre house is a modern two-up-and-two-down, with four rooms contained in a revolving cylinder that maximises the efficiency of space. This is a wonderful twenty-frist century take on googie architecture, the kind of thing that has all the designy prettiness of an iMac and all the ephemeraility of a tailfin.
