I'd stay on vacation in one of those things, I'd probably prefer a regular house to live in though :wink:

No, I didn't design it. I did think it was very cool of the guy who did design it.

Maybe. The outside is aesthetically pleasing, sure; however, I would have to go inside the house in order to be able to judge whether or not I'd be comfortable living in it.
But when it comes to aesthetics, yes.
Very nice-looking.

It's not a house. It's a gigantic arc structure capable of housing 10,000 people.

I'd rather live in a vault like in Fallout 3, but it looks okay.. I'd like my own window though for fresh air
