A tiny revolving house in portland follows the sun

Rotating house in Portland

The rotating house has very compact dimensions

This unusual rotating house seems to quote the Beatles:

"I follow the sun."

Rotating house and Bernard Shaw

Bernard Shaw and his rotating barn

A hundred years ago, George Bernard Shaw wrote his best work in his rotating barn. He had one major plus: he could turn to the sun when it was too cold, and turn away when it got hot. Lester Walker said:

"This house was rotated by hand, when it was needed. Shaw was very fond of working and living alone. Even his phone was configured only for outgoing calls. "

Rotating house with large windows

Large windows give access to a lot of light

In our days in Portland, Oregon, a slightly larger barn was built, which is equipped with the same function. The size of 3.6 x 3.6 m, it seems small inside, but has enough space outside.

Construction of a rotating house

Construction process

This building, in addition to living rooms, includes a toilet, shower and solar panels on the roof.

Interior of a rotating house

Interior design of the house

This design was designed for urban services, and waste is used in the oil and gas industry.

Since electricity and water are being built to the building, it can only rotate by 359 degrees so as not to damage the connection. However, the author of the project, Benjamin Kaiser, says that this shortcoming will be settled to create the next version.

A rotating tiny house has many advantages. Like Bernard Shaw's barn, he can turn to the sun on cold days, and turn away when it's too hot. Despite the fact that the idea was very useful and functional, the house created under the project looks like the most daring children's fantasy.
