If the house cost a million$ to build and save 200$ a month in electric bills, then it will take several times the lifetime of the building to pay off the extra $800,000 it cost to build this rotating house Cost vs return on investment is important.

This design looks very much like Buckminster Fuller's original Dymaxion house which rotated to follow the sun, or rotated away from the sun to keep cool. I'm sure the architect must have been inspired by Fuller. It is good to see his ideas finally getting built. Give credit where it is due.

It's gorgeous, but still not available to the masses where it would have the biggest effect. Make it affordable like an average home and then it will be news.

That's so awesome. Inhabitat found yet another Photoshop fabricated "vision of the future" that is sure to save the unicorns from the evil carbon monster. I know that outrageous headlines with no semblance of truth or reality are de rigueur on Inhabitat but, come one! People have been building real life energy positive solar homes sine the 1970's. This is NOT a new concept. This is NOT a vision of the future. This is NOT a big deal. OMG! That’s so awesome.
