Man builds rotating house to fulfill wife’s wish

Seeking to please his wife, who had wished for a more diversified view from their family house, a Bosnian self-taught innovator has built a rotating house, allowing her to watch the rising sun in one moment and passersby in the next. “I got tired of her complaints and frequent refurbishing of our family house and I said: I’ll build you a rotating house so you can spin it as you wish,” Vojin Kusic, 72, told Reuters, standing in front of his new house, which attracts a lot of attention. Situated on a fertile plain in northern Bosnia near the town of Srbac, the house spins around a 7-meter axis designed by Kusic, with the view of cornfields and farmland changing to forests and the river at a desired speed. “This is not an innovation, it only requires will and knowledge, and I had enough time and knowledge,” he said, adding that he had built the house completely by himself. The house is more resistant to earthquake damage than stationary houses, he said. His wife did not wish to comment on the new house. (Reuters) This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.
