Roll it Experimental House

Designed by different institutes within the University of Karlsruhe, Roll it cylindrical design provides flexible space within a minimum housing unit. There are three different sections in the house for: a bed and a table, an exercise cylinder, and a kitchen with a sink.

The prototype includes an outer shell with the four support rings over a rigid inner shell.  A translucent membrane envelops the entire form and serves as advertising space for sponsors. Thin wooden slats are attached to the membrane to form the running surface of the roll. The inner cover is a series of laminated OSB panels, each 15 mm thick, that cover the support rings. Circular openings in the side walls allow light into the structure, and a large opening serves as the entrance.
