Rotating House – the name may sound bit strange to engulf, but unbelievably such eccentric building still exists. Yes, in Belgium stands Francois Massau’s 50 years old revolving house in great style. Nothing is impossible! If Shah Jahan can built milk white Taj Mahal to express his love and affection for Mumtaz, why can’t Massau built this rotating house for his wife to enjoy warmth and sunshine any time of the year.

Massau’s eccentric craftsmanship and feat of engineering is widely noticed in his brilliant creation. An ingenious feature of this house is the assurance of steady supply of water and electricity even when the house rotates. This energy-efficient rotating house with circular brick and cement foundation is stationary, supporting a steel track on which the house revolves. Here you need to just press a button and in a moment, you will find that the house moving imperceptibly making a full 360-degree turn.

So what if it is warm outside, so what if there is snowfall outside, just rotate the room towards sun or against sunlight and feel the ultimate indulgence. Yes, at the end of the day you may think it as ‘magic reality’ but remember what Massau built was something exclusive and based on reality and that’s why New York Times declared this 1400 sq. feet rotating house as the most beautiful house in Wavre ever built.
