Orbit

Orbit explores the idea of a transformable space that allows different furniture modules to be easily swapped in and out of use. The space consists of a main room, three turntables, and a geared outer ring, that work in unison to shift pieces from wall storage to the living area. The outer ring rotates new modules to the turntables, which are then used to rotate the previous module out of and the new module into view. The modules could use reconfigurable or expandable furniture to further utilize the wall storage and maximize space usage. The designed environment could be used in areas with restricted space or supplies, such as large cities, or remote space habitats.
