Readers of Estates Gazette would have seen an interview with Simon Woodroffe of Dragons Den fame in last weeks mag (22 September). The entrepreneur behind yo! sushi and more recently yo! hotel recently announced plans for arguably his most ambitious project to date; 'yo! home'.
His idea, which incidentally took its inspiration from theatre set design, is for moving walls and ceilings, so as to reconfigure living spaces at the touch of a button. He stated the idea could "revolutionise the apartment around the world for the first time since its invention". A fairly bold statement I think you'll agree.
Certainly wouldn't be an appealing permanent housing solution - looks like it lends itself more to temp accomodation market for people on contracts for 6 months, for example.
