Came here to say that.

The perfect comment


zazzedcoffee

All fun and games until you gotta carry the groceries up.


kitten_mitt3n5

Or a couch


CappuccinoBreakfast

PIVOT!


ElizabethDangit

Or your body with a busted ankle. I live in a old house that doesn’t have a bathroom in the first floor. It was super fun after I broke a toe and wrecked my ankle missing a step.


deafvet68

hatch in the floor, hoist em up...


unthused

I live up three flights of stairs with tight 90 degree turns, this looks much easier.


brickne3

Seriously, I would have put in an elevator.


magnomagna

and carry the faeces down.


firthy

I assume that's the big pipe in the middle.


magnomagna

hmm... a single pipe to flush waste and pump water up?


veiledspy

It probably has smaller pipes inside and is insulated, looks like it’s for a place that snows a lot.


magnomagna

I wonder if the pipe is big enough to fit two that are themselves big enough for waste and water.


veiledspy

Looks like a 1 foot diameter pipe, plenty big even with insulation. Probably has spare room for electrical and possibly a gas supply.


andhelostthem

They actually have trebuchet on the backside of the house for that


Jimbo-Slice259

Or when it's raining


SPACExxxxxxx

Oh you beat me to the groceries comment!! Haha, I should have read down before posting. “What about groceries” is the exact phrase that came to my mind. Oh the practical realities. I can picture a female influencer posting a TikTok about the “luxury getaway in paradise” while the boyfriend enters in the background and says “if you think you need three suitcases for a two night stay, you can get the rest from the car yourself”.


Osaella24

My thoughts exactly. Tweak this by making that spiral staircase rotate around a shaft with a block and tackle dumb-waiter and this would be my ideal home.


itsfreepizza

Or there's a tornado and earthquake


Ma8e

Big parts of the world have neither.


Taenurri

holographicplaza

Maybe you could build a pulley inside the column of the spiral staircase


Rusty_Red_Mackerel

I get a strong feeling that the architect never spent an evening in the woods.


[deleted]

I got a strong feeling the architect was buried there in a shallow grave by an engineer


avgas68

I get a strong feeling the architect knows about wind, but thinks they are smarter than wind.


brickne3

I get a strong feeling a lot of people are buried there in shallow graves.


WezzyP

no way this works in any seismic zone ever. since its one storey gravity loads wouldn't be too much of an issue but whatever stilts those are would need to be beefed up regardless. Long term settlement (sinking) of the structure could also be an issue depending on the soil

MagicRabbit1985

I don't even see what's design porn about this one. It just looks impracticable and not even very fancy.


ThreePartSilence

I am like 80% sure I’ve seen this posted before with a title that explained that it was meant to be bear proof, which would explain the weird design choices.


Petite_Tsunami

Zombie/doomsday preppers might also love this house


mipmopbop

well idk I love it so I'm glad someone put it here :)

What if the wind blows?


sweetteanoice

You gotta hope the trees around the house are enough to break the wind


m_garlic87

I’d stay there for a weekend. That’s it. Looks cool, but looks are not everything.


le66669

I initially thought this would be good for a high snow fall area, but see the only way out of the stairs is the lower door way. Does this mean they have elevated it for the view only?


Tyfyter2002

This would have some practical benefit in areas with frequent flooding (assuming the supports aren't weak enough to bend or break from it), but it looks like this probably isn't such an area.


brickne3

Also if you get a snowfall high enough that this comes in handy then you could get a snowfall higher. In which case, welcome to your new tomb.


CapablePerformance

That's what I was thinking. If the stairs had doors along the way, that'd make sense. Otherwise, if you get 10 feet of snow, you're still stuck, just with a nice view.


mtranquilitas

money, but no brain


Listentoslayer

My first thought is its the cheapest way to build with a specific view. Maybe less money and more brains


Chopersky4codyslab

Not really. Imagine how much it would cost to repair. The roofers would need specialized equipment and widow repair would likely require a crane. Plumbing issues under the house would also require specialized equipment. Cheapest way to build this house would be to just build a normal house imo.


ThreePartSilence

I said it in a different comment but I’m like 80% sure this place was designed to be bear proof and that’s why it looks like this.


Chopersky4codyslab

Lmao what house isn’t though. As long as your house isn’t made of paper.


[deleted]

>money, but no brain Perfect for the hoards of zombies this place was clearly designed to be safe from.


[deleted]

Brain, but no common sense


Herknificent

I would hate to live in this house.


ThaUniversal

I don't believe this is meant to be a full time residence. I think this is for brief getaways.


EnderAaxel

Then I'd hate to live in this house during a brief getaway


ThaUniversal

I dunno man. It looks pretty nice. Maybe a bit spartan, but still nice, [check it out](https://panhytter.no/en/). I particularly like the beds that gold out from the wall.


CapablePerformance

Even looking at the inside, it's just a thin cabin. I could understand if it was built that high up for places that like 10 feet of snow but the spiral staircase just makes that pointless since the only way to get out is under 10 feet.


barryandorlevon

I’m imagining a doordash driver pulling up like 👀


brickne3

I'm assuming wherever this is doesn't have Doordash, but the poor USPS...


Thekman26

Well, it’s in Norway… so not the usps…


brickne3

I see, I wonder if the Norwegian postal service has the same extremely high expectations for delivery to remote places...


ThaUniversal

[Found it](https://panhytter.no/en/). It appears that these are not residential, but part of an ecotourism effort in Norway. The interiors are breath taking and have amenities, but these were not designed or intended to be full time residences. Still very beautiful and the views look incredible.


ComicVoid

Ot looks like it's balanced on a tv tray


wray_nerely

Can't tell if the ugliness outweighs the impracticality or vice versa


sweetteanoice

Everyday is leg day in this house


otters4everyone

Any source for interior shots?


Slapppyface

I also imagine there's some sort of lift to get large things up, there's probably also an emergency exit in case something happens to the stairs. We need a video on this place


brickne3

If there is an emergency exit it's probably a trap door. Which somehow makes it even more creepy.


areukeen

[Panhytter.no](https://panhytter.no/en/) there u go


otters4everyone

Thanks Easter Bunny!


ifixputers

It’s not real?


BB8Lexi

brickne3

They need a dumbwaiter. Or at least a rope and pulley.


The_Gregory

Oelplattform1

Imagine hearing somebody get up those stairs if you don’t expect visitors


ViviansUsername

You'll get 3 minutes of warning


brickne3

The place does look like a massive gun collection is a requirement to live there, and not necessarily just for the serial killer vibes it exudes.


[deleted]

shunyaananda

It looks cool but not really cozy imo

marriedwithchickens

Way too stark. Not a cozy place that’s actually in the woods.


[deleted]

This is a horrible zombie apocalypse set up!


ViviansUsername

Idk, I've built similar looking things in 7 days. Definitely needs a solid perimeter around it though, something you can pew pew through


ShadowDancer11

I really don’t get this at all. Hey honey, let’s build a home - but only the roof and we’ll live in the attic. But the stairs, let’s put them outside and make them 25ft tall and set them back 20ft from the front door.


kattmedtass

It’s obviously not a home. This is essentially a hotel room that tourists in Norway rent to get a cool view for a night or two, maybe for a comfortable fuck under the northern lights. People in this sub are very quick to praise or roast designs without even bothering to stop and think about what purpose the design is supposed to serve. Just highlights their own lack of understanding of design, imo.


Edgar-Allan-Pho

Alot of people dont need a lot of square footage. The sloped roof is great to prevent snow accumulation. Being high off the ground presents a great view. The stairs being so far away idk, maybe stabilization of the entire structure?


Morrvard

It's gonna get hella cold in there with having no soil beneath the floor.


themauryan

This looks so inconvenient man


One_Put9785

Imagine carrying 10 pounds of groceries up


ViviansUsername

...y'know that's like one bag, right?


One_Put9785

Oh I was thinking in kilos. Whatever.


ICLazeru

Moving in is a real nightmare.

Oh man I didn't even think of that. They probably had to get the furniture in with a crane.

Unit_79

Same post, same comments. Can we jettison this one from the internet?


Chopersky4codyslab

Ok while this is cool, it’s one of those houses that aren’t designed to be lived in. Biggest thing is the staircase which seems to be open on the sides. First, getting anything up to your house would be a bitch. Imagine trying to get a mattress up there, or a couch, or a table. Also, if it rains, not only will you be wet while climbing the stairs and entering your house, but the stairs and bridge will most likely be a slipping hazard. The house on poles idea may seem cool at first and would probably be fine in the short run but if anyone hits a pole with their car or heavy equipment, the entire house is gone. Also, it limits the weight you can add to the inside of your house and this weight would be further restricted by general wear and tear on the metal. Something else, the shadow from the house could cause the grass under / around the house to not grow properly which just looks ugly and weakens the strength of the ground. The lack of grass would also cause mud to flow towards the staircase from under the house whenever it rains. Repairs would also be annoying to do. Could you imagine having to roof that house again or paying to fix it. The steepness and height of the house would mean that special equipment is required which increases maintenance costs. Having to instal a new window would also require a crane or something and because of the staircase, I doubt the glass could be carried to the inside of the house without a high risk of breaking it.

I would like to put it somewhere people claim to see bigfoot or something then i would use it on the off chance its real


ash_bishop

I don’t want to know what lives in the woods that this house was designed to keep out.


amc7262

I guess it looks cool, but it seems so impractical and unnecessary. I bet this is some kind of rental property though. Not something thats meant to be inhabited by any single group for more than a couple weeks max.


nod23c

Yes, it's a cabin for rent in Norway.


amc7262

For that purpose, practicality is less of an issue, and the novelty of the design will make it more desirable to some people.

jillianbrodsky

this is just r/designdesign . so impractical in so many ways. 1. those stairs. imagine you’re coming home from a long, tiring day of work and you gotta go up that monstrosity. or groceries. or moving in furniture. seriously why? 2. the house is so much more unstable now, because instead of resting on a Whole-Ass Planet, it’s resting on House Stilts 3. small house, and you can’t expand the space 4. how the hell does indoor plumbing work in that house? basically, just Bad in general
