Sliding House...

Wow! A contender for 'Grand Designs' if ever I saw one:

Nice.

The really clever design I have heard of, but not seen is the rotating house which allows it to follow the sun through the day (or, presumably not if you have got too hot and don't want it to anymore...!)

I like it - lots...

...but:

The metal work looks a bit chunky (I'm guessing it wasnt a huge budget build or the glass sections could have been bigger)

Which shed did that HUGE hinge come off?!!

Also I hope that outer predominantly timber sleeve doesnt warp any time soon!

How utterly awful.

I really detest these "architect" designed houses, as they always look so incongruous. For me, it is just a case of the designer / owner being so far up their own arses they have lost all concept of a house being sympathetic to its surroundings.

That is soooo cool! Although I would hate to imagine the maintainence costs for it! Also I imagine that the novelty would wear off fairly quickly.

....especially if you slid the timber bit back and left of one the side windows open!

Yeah that would be a bit of a 'bks' moment.

Pointless. As above novelty will fade.
