Two things are in the foreground in the realisation of our revolving houses: An optimal use of daylight in each room and the approach of a sustainable building concept.
The main specifications of our rotating houses
Rotatability of the entire building
Winter operation/heating season: orientation of the window surfaces is following the sun = maximum use of solar energy
Summer operation/cooling season: orientation of the window surfaces is away from the sun = minimum cooling is required
Optimized alignment of the hot water modules
Optimum insulation + air tightness: reduction of heat loss
Circular floor plan: smallest possible building shell area at maximum usable area
Circular floor plan: protection from gusts
Use of regenerative energies
Timber frame construction with passive house design of the outer shell and technology
Ecological and sustainable building
Ball-bearing rotation ring made of steel, resistant to tension and compression
Powered with a 0.18 kW drive, optionally with 0.0 kW when powered by muscle power (e. g. home trainer)
