04:53In a remarkable display of ingenuity, 85-year-old Luis Favre from Argentina has brought his childhood dream to life by constructing a revolutionary, revolving house.
This architectural marvel allows the house to rotate, optimising its exposure to the sun and wind for enhanced climate control, as footage filmed on Sunday shows.
"I spent about 60 years thinking and imagining how I was going to build my house until finally one day I decided and did it. I feel happy because my dream came true. I am happy," Luis said.
Situated just five kilometres from the centre of Resistencia, Favre's home gracefully rotates a full 360 degrees, adjusting its position to meet the owner's specific requirements.
Having lived in the house for three years now, the Argentine inventor takes great delight in the comfort it offers and the astonishment it elicits from guests who admire the technology and use of space.
Moreover, the house also boasts a unique feature—a bedroom with a retractable ceiling that allows Favre and his wife to gaze at the stars.
"Living in the revolving house is like living in any other house, but a little more comfortable because I can direct it according to my preferences. If I want sunlight, I can have it; if I want to avoid the sun or harness the wind, I can adjust the house accordingly," explained Lucia Mabel Umhauser, Favre's wife.
The house is equipped with essential amenities such as gas, electricity, water, and a sewage network connection. Remarkably, the drain for the sewage network is ingeniously located at the centre of the rotating structure.
Luis Favre's innovative creation is a testament to human imagination and the boundless possibilities of architecture.
His revolving house not only provides a comfortable living space but also showcases how thoughtful design can harmonise with nature, offering residents unparalleled control over their living environment.
