    *raises hand*

    I wanna live in a Loftcube!

    As soon as I'm rich and famous and can afford a helicopter to move it around, I'll be all over that like white on rice. Should be any day now....

      Love it! Really. I can only imagine the problems associated with 'parking' it, tho'.

        How would you get hookups for electricity, water, and sewage?

          I see the lawsuits now:

          -roof cave-ins
          -non-permitted loft parking
          -roof squatting, which leads to a whole 'nuther buncha charges (like "assault and battery") because the next loft-dweller doesn't get to have his roof time as signed into his contract as the previous roof tenant won't move his loft

          this idea is either gonna lend choke cachet to da city, or da bugga is gonna take trailer park living to da next level!

              Being the Mid Century Modern Architecture geek that I am, I love the design of this...Like Menehune Man said, I'd put in on a lot , surround it with lots of great foliage so those windows give a great sense of indoor/outdoor space.

              Put a few of them together for a nice modular home.

                From the building that you have planted yourself on.

                IIRC there is another post somewhere regarding the use of shipping containers somewhere on HT... I can't find it now... however....if the price is right... why not drop about 5000 of these around the areas where homeless is a big problem?

                  Well the loftcube seems far more ritzy than living in shipping containers http://www.fabprefab.com/fabfiles/containerbayhome.htm

                    I saw this concept on a japanese show. I think it's cool! How much fun is that! But then again I love yurts too. I want to live in a big round yurt!

                      I wouldn't want to be in one of those things during a hurricane. Outside of that, they look kind of cute, I guess.

                        Looks nice, but with all those windows I think you'd be providing a floor show for the neighboring buildings.

                          ya so they are available for purchase now. 60,000 euros. same setup as a mobile home as far as power/water/sewer, but they are looking into the whole rooftop stations overseas. i love this and i really want one.
