Luxury Housing is seemed to be enticed by the glamorous trend of “Rotating House”, which may not be popular yet. Nevertheless, this idea is perhaps very thrilling and should be encouraged to develop. We had already covered this quirk of architecture a couple of days ago and there have been some new developments again. Buildings in St. Petersburg are seeing a return to the extravagance during the tsarist days and apartment blocks in Mexico City are a slap in the face for those who are affected by the global slowdown.

According to The Economist, this Jetsons-esque of living may attract a large number of people making it the next big thing in luxury housing. Market trends in architecture reveal that recession has driven architects to design more extravagant buildings, contrary to popular beliefs. This could be due to the fact that the global slowdown has left everyone weary and tired.

Nevertheless, these houses will consume more electric power. Apparently, the custom houses built in California use between 370 watts and 1kilowatt of power for every hour the house was rotating. If architecture can take such different directions, it would well be possible that one fine day we shall never know where we are living.
