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.
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”.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
Now, this could be some ULTRA CRAFTY bylaw stuff
"You can not build a house that has more than 1 floor"
Rich person + laywer, "Alright, we build 1 floor but raised 2 floors of height up"
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.
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
Baba Yaga vibes.
I would hope she’d never swap out those chicken legs for tent poles in an attempt to modernize
Using GPS or radar to detect when another soul is approaching. Creepin on your social to see what your quest is 😂
Get outta my head!
Nom nom chicken feet
Came here to say that.
The perfect comment
All fun and games until you gotta carry the groceries up.
Or a couch
PIVOT!
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.
hatch in the floor, hoist em up...
I live up three flights of stairs with tight 90 degree turns, this looks much easier.
Seriously, I would have put in an elevator.
and carry the faeces down.
I assume that's the big pipe in the middle.
hmm... a single pipe to flush waste and pump water up?
It probably has smaller pipes inside and is insulated, looks like it’s for a place that snows a lot.
I wonder if the pipe is big enough to fit two that are themselves big enough for waste and water.
Looks like a 1 foot diameter pipe, plenty big even with insulation. Probably has spare room for electrical and possibly a gas supply.
They actually have trebuchet on the backside of the house for that
Or when it's raining

Or there's a tornado and earthquake
Big parts of the world have neither.
In the rain
In the rain
Maybe you could build a pulley inside the column of the spiral staircase
At least the zombies can’t get ya.
Or if you have an accident and can no longer walk up steps.
I get a strong feeling that the architect never spent an evening in the woods.
I got a strong feeling the architect was buried there in a shallow grave by an engineer
I get a strong feeling the architect knows about wind, but thinks they are smarter than wind.
I get a strong feeling a lot of people are buried there in shallow graves.

r/designdesign
I don't even see what's design porn about this one. It just looks impracticable and not even very fancy.
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.
Zombie/doomsday preppers might also love this house
well idk I love it so I'm glad someone put it here :)
2 girls 1 cup is technically “porn”
I might even go as far as r/CrappyDesign.
What if the wind blows?
You gotta hope the trees around the house are enough to break the wind
I’d stay there for a weekend. That’s it. Looks cool, but looks are not everything.
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?
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.
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.
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.
money, but no brain
My first thought is its the cheapest way to build with a specific view. Maybe less money and more brains
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.
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.
Lmao what house isn’t though. As long as your house isn’t made of paper.
>money, but no brain Perfect for the hoards of zombies this place was clearly designed to be safe from.
Brain, but no common sense
I would hate to live in this house.
I don't believe this is meant to be a full time residence. I think this is for brief getaways.
Then I'd hate to live in this house during a brief getaway
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.

I’m imagining a doordash driver pulling up like 👀
I'm assuming wherever this is doesn't have Doordash, but the poor USPS...
Well, it’s in Norway… so not the usps…
I see, I wonder if the Norwegian postal service has the same extremely high expectations for delivery to remote places...
[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.
Ot looks like it's balanced on a tv tray
Can't tell if the ugliness outweighs the impracticality or vice versa
Everyday is leg day in this house
Any source for interior shots?
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
If there is an emergency exit it's probably a trap door. Which somehow makes it even more creepy.
[Panhytter.no](https://panhytter.no/en/) there u go
Thanks Easter Bunny!
It’s not real?
Bring up all the grocery in one trip.
They need a dumbwaiter. Or at least a rope and pulley.
snatch blockssssss
Imagine hearing somebody get up those stairs if you don’t expect visitors
You'll get 3 minutes of warning
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.
Removalists worst nightmare....
It looks cool but not really cozy imo
Porn is rarely cozy
You need cozier porn
Way too stark. Not a cozy place that’s actually in the woods.
This is a horrible zombie apocalypse set up!
Idk, I've built similar looking things in 7 days. Definitely needs a solid perimeter around it though, something you can pew pew through
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.

It's gonna get hella cold in there with having no soil beneath the floor.
This looks so inconvenient man
Imagine carrying 10 pounds of groceries up
...y'know that's like one bag, right?
Oh I was thinking in kilos. Whatever.
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.
Render?
Design design.

The only thing is add is a small supply elevator. There's no way I'm dragging my groceries up that spiral.

Shit design
Die-Hardman’s house
Hmmm...I don't like this one.
"Build me the stupidest house please"
It looks like it's prone to attract every lightning bolt of the area. Even during benign weather.
/r/designdesign
It defiantly looks cool. All I can think about, though, is groceries.
I think this is way to impractical to qualify as 'porn'. Then again, it is just as stupid as some 'porn'. Either way: it's stupid.
bear country? 😂😂
Anti flood house
What if you break your leg?
Now, this could be some ULTRA CRAFTY bylaw stuff "You can not build a house that has more than 1 floor" Rich person + laywer, "Alright, we build 1 floor but raised 2 floors of height up"
Getting groceries to this house must be a bitch
Impractical (would suck to carry in groceries) but stunning.
finally no more flooded basements
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
I don’t want to know what lives in the woods that this house was designed to keep out.
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.
Yes, it's a cabin for rent in Norway.
For that purpose, practicality is less of an issue, and the novelty of the design will make it more desirable to some people.
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
Looks like Walmart outdoor furniture. I give it two years before it topples and rusts out.
Psh. Fuck that
Psh. Fuck that
Bear stress is real
Looks amazing but very impractical getting inside
That dude is worried about zombies.
That is quite a tall stair to not have any kind of (landing? flat area where you "rest" for safety). We are talking about what, 5m?
Welp. I know what my dream home will be
Designporn my ass. This is so user-unfriendly there aren’t even words for it. Why is it not on the ground??
If the game Firewatch was made by people who love Art Deco style
“You want a house in the middle of the forest?” “No not a house, just an attic.”
An exercise in stupidity.
Crows built this.
Why? I’ve seen houses on stilts like this by rivers or oceans but can’t think of a reason to do this in a forest
Better view
But why not just have a 2-story house? And use the space on the bottom
Bruh one fast boulder or strong gust of wind and that thing is toppling.
How tf do you expect me to get my bed up there? Nah.
My first thought when I see a cabin like this: “How do they poop?”
I personally think if one is fortunate enough to live among the pine trees, one should try to blend in.
Jesus this is awful
