Would You Live In This House?

Would you live int this house?
Let say you can afford this house? Would you live in it?
I would BUT none of my family would, and pretty sure wouldn't have many visitors. lol

I'd probably stay for a night or two in it, just for the heck of it. My question is what is that light gray line towards the bottom of the rock? If the water ever rises to that level and there's a storm - that house is history.

 

It does look like that's the water line. I'm just guessing here, but that house is probably built out of industrial-grade steel that goes pretty far into the rock and has anchors of sorts securing it safely to the cliff wall. The glass is probably a high grade, shatter/impact-resistant plexiglass.

I looked up the actual article about the house and apparently it's located in Australia, but the article doesn't give any information about the actual construction of the house. I'm with qwikad.com on this. I'd probably spend a day or two there, but I don't think I'd ever live in the house.

 

The pic is photoshopped, of course. This thing is just a concept. Realistically speaking there are not that many idiots (am I being too harsh?) out there who'd volunteer to live in something like that long term. If there are, I'd suggest they go see a psychiatrist first before deciding buying and living in one of those.

 

seems to be lonely living, its just for discussion not for real enjoyment.

 

Was just thinking how would it be if Tsunami hits...... scary.............

 

I would probably sh*t myself for a week or two. But it looks pretty awesome.

 

Ah...I would still awake for all day and night if I were inside there. Please provide me a life preserver and a helicopter with full tank of gas.

 

I would not even want to take the walk from the car to the house. There is not even a small guardrail or fencing to protect the people (including children) who might be living or visiting there. Where does the swingset go for the kids?

Obviously, this is a photoshopped picture as I cannot even conceive how the builders would put it in place.

 

The view would be amazing. It would be pretty weird to live in because it's positioned ridiculously enough to feel fairly private, but with all that glass you'd feel pretty exposed. So it's not much use as an evil lair because your secret planning for world domination would be right out there for any superspy to foil.

I agree with others that I'd certainly spend a night or two there, but unless there's an all-night supermarket just out of shot, I'd get tired of it pretty quickly. I'd stick with a hollowed-out volcano. There's a reason it's a classic.

 

Those who wanna sleep in this, need beds with seat belts in case sometime it falls in water.

 

My wife and kids sleep walk! Not a good place to sleep for them!

 

They do? Now you've opened a can of worms. I want to know more. It must be hilarious to live in a house where at least two people sleep walk. And it can probably be stressful too.

 

I have a whole house alarm in the house and I set it every night. Not because I am afraid of someone breaking in; rather, I am more concerned about someone walking out in their sleep.

When my wife and I first slept together, I knew nothing about her sleep walking. Picture this: about the 4th or 5th night we slept together, she suddenly jumps up to her knees in bed, yells "Run!" and goes running out of the room. When I realized that the ceiling was not falling in nor anyone was attacking us, I caught up to her in another part of the house where she was standing quietly, still asleep. After a few times of this, of course, I got used to it and became pretty good at catching her before she jumped out of bed and getting her to calm down and "go back" to sleep. Early on, it happened about once a week.

When we had kids, my wife stopped sleep walking for the most part, but both my daughter and my son now walk in their sleep. On the day before my daughter was to leave for college for the first time, she walked halfway down the staircase and began screaming in terror at the top of her lungs, while still completely asleep. I occasionally find my son, who is much younger than his sister, downstairs sitting upright on a couch where he has been since he sleep-walked down in the middle of the night and is still asleep. He may even be mumbling words or phrases when I come upon him. This is obviously genetic because my wife's father was famous for sleepwalking.

When you wake a sleep-walker, they are very disoriented and typically go right back to sleep when you steer them back to bed. They usually have no or very little memory of the incident in the morning. And, let me tell you, the first few times that it happens to the non-sleep-walker (who is often awakened from a deep sleep, himself) it is a very memorable event because your first instinct is that they are awake and taking these actions for good reason. Once it is realized that it is only another episode, I have to fight being annoyed because they have absolutely no control over it.

Needless to say, I am grateful that the previous owner put in a whole house alarm.

 

I have tried talking to them when they are still sleep-walking and have never seen anything but confusion or annoyance or complete disregard on their faces. It seems to me like they do not seem to understand where these words are coming from in the middle of their dream about something else. Only when they are half-awakened (I don't think that they fully wake up) by touching them am I able to steer them back to bed (physically guide them the entire distance.)

By the way, I did not mean to overplay this. This was never a nightly occurrence and has slowed down a lot in the past few years, but still happens several times per year with my son. My daughter is at college most of the nights in the year, so I am not sure if she sleepwalks there. I will have to ask her roommates. Stressful situations seem to bring episodes on many times.

 

All I can say is "wow!" Life is so freaking complicated, sometimes, to fully understand it. Thank you @jrbiz for sharing your experiences.

 

for hotel its good idea, but not for live..

 

I've just had a thought. Where does the drainage from the bathroom go?

I'm definitely out.
