We have seen spinning towers and revolving restaurants, but have you ever lived in a rotating house?
Located in the countryside of northern Italy, a house that can turn around 360 degrees is unveiled by Italian architect Roberto Rossi. Overlooking the views of picturesque landscapes of the Italian countryside, this octagonally shaped home flexibly allows its owner to mechanical rotation either clockwise or anti-clockwise.
This dynamic home is designed according to the specific requirements of the client.
The rotating house is firmly supported by a large central pillar. Other than overlooking views of the natural scenery, the rotation is used to provide the best orientation for the solar panels which are placed on the roof of the house.
Rossi claims that the house is able to generate its own energy as the photovoltaic panels efficiently make use of the sun all day. Additionally, heat pumps are installed in the rotating house as well as a solar thermal system which produces energy along with the roof cells.
Interestingly, this house is not the first Italian home to spin! Rossi’s rotating house is inspired by Villa Girasole; another dynamic home with rotation options designed during the 1930s by architects Angelo Invernizzi and Ettore Fagiuoli in Marcellise.
Roberto Rossi has been creating innovative designs in the field of industrial design and architecture. By creating new inventions that fit the market needs, he believes that nothing is impossible.
