    As a former architecture teacher, all I have to say about those rotating house is that they’re dumb AF, costing a fortune in energy spending.

    The landscape moves. So does your head on your neck, and your eyeballs in your skull, and your ass on your legs.

    Pure stupidity.

      I’m curious where the energy waste comes in. The owner says it only takes a 1HP motor to move the building, so I can’t imagine its very power hungry. What am I missing?

        Horsepower doesn’t measure the total energy needed to rotate the house because it doesn’t capture the amount of time the motor runs for.
