(I hope the hotlinking works)

Looks cool as long as you dont trip while its turning and squish yourself. :)

300K is pretty friggin cheap, but then again its in Brazil, really nice looking though :thumbsup

nice price

BAD ASS...

awesome idea, not sure if I would like to live in such apartment though

But we don't have interest rates and mortgages like in the USA :(

Brazil doesn't have mortgages?

woah

do u have to wait a set time period to go out ur front door? like time it all indiana jones style or is it separate from the door?

That's probably located in the center column that doesnt spin :Graucho

We do have mortgages, but not 30 years like in the USA. I think the max here is 20 years but it isn't that common.

Interest rates sucks.

That would a nice kick it spot :glugglug

I could buy 6 of those with the house Im in at the moment.....

So fucking cheap..... I cant imagine what that would cost here

$3Mil +would be my guess

damn

thats nice as hell :thumbsup

I cant imagine what I would feel when I got home drunk. Hey, maybe it would stop spinning :Graucho

very cool :thumbsup

i wonder how fast they rotate, like if u ran at the exact speed in the oppsiite direction, ur view would never change, lol .. id get so high and just do "expiriments" all day.

but itd be sweeter if the discs rotated independantly ... that would help with apartment noise, but for that price, i doubt theyre on independant differentials.

Pretty cool - imagine in 10 years when that shit starts breaking down once a week...

i would love to live in one of those, would be pretty trippy.

Awesome looking apt :thumbsup

Does it come with speeds? maybe slow, medium and DIZZY!!!!

awesome view :thumbsup

hahah ditto:thumbsup

The day after you get it someone kidnaps you :( :1orglaugh

Whoa that's crazy. Very stylish too. :)

Thats awesome and for $300k its a steal.

They do rotate independantly :)

I would need dramamin for motion seekness :(

Each apartment has a screen like this

And the spin, temperature and light can be operated by voice

cool concept...wonder what the view is like

fucked up on a drunken night

stop! the fucking room is spinning

no shit...

Thats fucking badass. :thumbsup

If your head is spinning to the right, just make the apartment spin to the left! :Graucho

wow that's awesome place! i like the spot!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT :helpme :thumbsup

I'd make it spin at mach 1.

I like an apartment with g forces :glugglug

I wonder what the electrical bill is.

To spin it uses the same electrical energy as a hot tub :)

thats tight

amazing

reminds me of the jetsens the way the building looks.

i now know why i was put on earth

to live in one of these apartments
:)

you'd get bored of it really fast... i'd just rather have a nice penthouse that doesnt spin... and walking in a circle doesnt really do it for me
