If you want your home to have nice eastern exposure for the sunrise, southern exposure for the afternoon, and western exposure for the sunset, you could certainly do worse than having a rotating house. Luke Everingham built himself just that north of Sydney, designing a house that rotates to check out different views in addition to rotating to be more energy efficient. Feel like enjoying the sun? Program the house to have the room you're in follow it as it moves across the sky. The house can rotate once every 30 minutes at top speed and one can imagine that any faster might make living inside less than comfortable. I'd love to see a rotating fireplace inside a rotating house, perhaps rotating the opposite way of the house. Everingham is looking to build more rotating homes for people now that he's learned so much in the process of designing his own. He claims they'll cost about $760,000 to put up, which sounds surprisingly reasonable to me. — Adam Frucci
