Tired of your home's flat façade ?  Depending on the seasons or the homeowners’ needs, rotating volumes can be turned to change up the interior and the exterior.  Built on a relatively narrow lot, this residence has the ability to turn a two-dimensional façade into a three-dimensional one, giving giving it the ability to be open or closed depending on the sun's angle or occupant's whimsy.

 

 

The basement floors even benefit from daylight because the design’s upper floors were brought in three meters to allow for a glass ceiling.  Hello, indoor pool!
