We can always count on Hanan at Grow-a-brain to find the unusual. Today, he linked to our post Rotating Home: Sit & Spin in California. But he also had a great link to Suite Vollard in Curitiba, Brazil, the world’s only revolving building. What’s unique is it’s an apartment building where each unit has the ability to rotate to get a 360 degree panoramic view of the city.
Each apartment has its own independent engine system, which can be engaged with a remote control. A complete clockwise or counterclockwise 360º turn takes one hour and the system is equipped with a programming timer. I’d have all my dinners facing the west to catch the beautiful sunsets.
Architects Bruno de Franco, also technical director with Moro, the Brazilian builder, and Sérgio Silka designed the project.
