    • I absolutely love the way these places look...they're so colorful and different looking. And so playful! They look like little parks. I would love! to visit one, but I don't know if I could live in one...

      Very interesting! Great add digitrash!

    • stephenthomson, i agree, however, i still like the fact that you may have to crawl to get around. it would make me feel like i'm part animal.

      speaking as an architect, i wonder what the floor construction is. ...also, i wouldn't want to be in this house during an earthquake.

    • This may work for a little while, but if you live long enough in one place your mind will settle around its contours, no matter how zany or unconventional they initially seem.

      I think the key to staying young is to never stay in one place for too long.
