Designed by Iranian architecture studio Next Office, ‘Sharifi-ha House’ is an impressive seven-story building with rooms that rotate at a touch of a button. The idea is that the parts of the facade can be shifted inwards or outwards to adapt to the weather or resident’s mood. For instance, the house can be adjusted so that the large terraces face outwards in the summer while openings can be minimized in the winter. On the idea behind the building, the architects say, “Uncertainty and flexibility lie at the heart of this project’s design concept.”
