This device has got me to think about my lifestyle. For decades, architects, designers have been coming up with what we say an “impossible invention”. But we know that no one even thought flying like a bird but it was made possible by mankind for mankind. But living in a house with spinning walls instead of fixed walls makes me go wild! It is based on a similar principle that is used in hamster wheels. It’s you who have to decide whether you want to live as a rodent. Not really. The Multi Functional Spinning Wall as its name will make your head spin. It consists of arrangements of modules and their function changes as u spin it. It’s innovative but is it practically possible? Think about it!
The more you work at a time the more you are considered as “talented” and this product makes you a dummy head. If one is sleeping then the other member can’t get a cup of tea. If you want to sleep then your roommate has to go hungry till the time your alarm rings. It’s not a good idea to use it I guess. Waste of money and it doesn’t generate proportional benefits. There should be some better solution for saving space.

Going green also means saving water. Do you know that we use around 150 litres of water for a washing machine ? After that, the water will go down the drain just like that, when we actually can reuse it. “Washup” is a conceptual design integrating washing machine with toilette-flush. It suggests a sustainable water consumption by storing the wasted water in toilette-flush tank and reuse it with flushing. Moreover, “washup” brings a solution for the problem of location of washing machines in small bathrooms, overlapping washing machine usage space with toilette usage space. It is fixed on wall upwards toilette, so that loading of clothes would be easier for the user without bending or crouching. A special interface including three semi-sphere control units & two flushing buttons is designed for a practical usage of the product. “Washup” is a green product offering solutions for the problems of standard washing machines.
