    Rotating Home?



    Check out that UFO house above my E30...


    Thats a fucking spa.



    And thats a hell of a home office desk/view.



    Pretty sweet. I don't think there are too many rotating houses around.

      In Dubai they are proposing to build this highrise condo with sections that rotate and swivel around a stationary base. Supposedly each section will hold 4 to 5 floors and it will move so slowly that it will be next to impossible to detect the movement other than the fact that the scenery out of your windows will change as the day goes on.

            This is a view from the rotating restaurant here in Santiago, it turns one rev in about 1 and a half hours, it's neat because you get a whole view of the city in one lunch, and you can't really tell it's rotating except for the fact that the view is not the same every time you look. It's on the 16th floor of a boulding, and the food is not that good.

                there is one like that in downtown phx called the compass room, although the food is $$, but good.

                  Add the Space Needle to the list of revolving restraunts. Food's OK, better when you have the coupon for Sunday brunch - then it's a hard deal to beat.

                  I like the looks of the view from that one in Santiago, Chile is on my short list of countries to visit / possibly retire in. I plan to live out my later years in Central / South America. Bermuda is really the only other contender to me.

                  It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                          You stupid idiots. Not once did I mention a resturant. Notice the topic is rotating home?

                              Probably on some sort of gryo, im guessing.

                              Sweet photo trent, that house must be worth a fortune! Are their any others in the states like it?

                              Never mind I searched and they have quite a few, they actually have some technical purposes besides just being able to take in every single possible view surrounding your home! Help with energy efficiency through heating and cooling dispersing.
                              Pretty interesting
