The default configuration of this building is a cube nine metres on a side in larger, level grounds. Within the edifice are hinged, swivelling or rollable components such as walls, floors and staircases, and shuttered windows, sliding and conventional door sections of the walls and so forth, which can be moved around to create the likes of mezzanines, atria, internal and external staircases, doors, trapdoors, ladders, different roof shapes and the like. Just a building which can be arranged in various different ways and then locked and unlocked for stability and safety. It's also telescopic, so it can have one, two or three floors, and has pull-out bits for extensions and outhouses, conservatories, sheds etc.

       Love it! [+]   

       I know there are kit houses that unfold but not aware of any one with various configurations available with a single model like this.

       So you've taken the concept of a Murphy bed and applied it to the whole house? I do hope Murphy's Law doesn't make an appearance.

       This needs an AI created 50s style "Homes Of Tomorrow" video complete with poodle skirt wearing moms and a pipe smoking dad, daughter with a dollhouse and son with a slingshot in his back pocket.   

       50s background music too.
