ROTATING HOUSE:

Have you seen the Everingham Rotating House™ yet? It is pretty similar to one of those skyscraper restaurants that rotate like a record player (for those of us who still remember what that is!) to give you a 360° view…it is pretty cool!

Here are a few FAQ’s from their official website:


1. Does it really rotate?

The Rotating House™ rotates a full 360° around a central core of plumbing and electricals. Computer- controlled rotation gives you complete control over your view...

2. Does the house move all the time?

The house can move if and when desired. A touch panel on the wall in the lounge room lets you change the position of the house with a couple of simple presses. You just select which side of the house you want to go to which direction, then press go. Programs have been set up for different times of the year for different functions eg. Follow the sun.

3. How fast does it spin?

The speed can be varied. It takes 2 hours to do a rotation at the slower speed, which is 40 metres per hour. At top speed it takes approximately 30 minutes to do a full rotation, which is 160 metres per hour.

4. Why have a house that can rotate?

Well, why not? It was an idea that grew and grew and finally became a reality. The shape of the house and the rooms are large, interesting and really user friendly. The cost was also comparable to a house of similar size and level of appointment. The ability to move the house to suit whatever the circumstance has proved to be extremely handy! Naturally the weather aspect for heating and cooling, but also for entertaining. Having the living room facing the sun in the mornings for heating and having a leisurely breakfast is great, but come night time, turn the room around to the fixed deck overlooking the river for a fantastic entertaining area!
