isPermaLink="false">http://www.yankodesign.com/?p=7161#comment-67507</guid> <description>I just had another great thought on this home. Yes, I&#039;m a little obsessed with the design I believe ;)
I&#039;m thinking the main living unit could not only rise above the surface, but move to 4 different levels.  Above surface (floating in air), floor even with surface, floor just below surface, and then finally, one more basement level below that.  Very possible with hydraulics or long screws as mentioned above.
Why would you do this?
Imagine riding through the desert in a Jeep (or other desert vehicle of your choice).  As you approach your compound all one can see is this vision of very tall white poles anchored into the ground.  You wonder what it could possibly be?
With the press of a remote, ONE of the white poles lowers into the ground.  The Jeep moves forward into the space it is now allowed to enter.  Surrounding itself with the poles.  Once in the middle, the pole that lowered itself now raises up into the sky.  Essentially locking the Jeep into it&#039;s own protective &#039;cage&#039;.
With another press on a remote, the living unit lowers into the ground.  Once &quot;in&quot; the ground, you see the other living areas surrounding you, all protected by glass walls, and glass doors, protecting them from the harsh environment... all inviting you to exit your Jeep and enter the main house.
Once in, you are welcomed by your computer which has already turned on your lights and started your fresh air purification systems (and why not some soft music as well to top it off).
Once in any of the surrounding living areas, the living unit rises up to create the ONE living space that is the entire house.  It seals out the harsh environment above and opens up a home with a controlled, more pleasant environment.
Then, when desired, the living unit could rise, with the Jeep still on the &#039;roof&#039;, up to ground level for fresh air or scenery.  As well, you could rise yet another level up for a spectacular view.
Using the roof of the living unit as a parking area also protects the vehicle into the night. It can&#039;t be removed without the one &quot;secret&quot; security pole being lowered into the ground, allowing the vehicle to drive off.
Ok... wild imagination, but very possible.  When can I move in?
