Life in a rotating house can take some getting used to. When he forgets that he turned the house before going to bed, Tufano can be startled in the morning by an unexpected view out the bedroom window.
A Sunspace house can easily be rotated completely or partially in just three minutes, at the push of a button. It can also be programmed to seek or avoid solar heat, depending on the season and heating or cooling needs. The house can be rotated so that a side with large windows is in shade when the weather is hot or in full sun when it's cold.
Inhabitants can watch the sun rise and set out the same window, and they can change their view any time. If their site is sloped, the vertical distance between an exterior door and the adjacent sidewalk will vary depending on rotation.
Tufano rotates his house for energy efficiency and "when I get tired of looking at the woods or the open space of the site from my dining room window, or if I don't like the way shadows are created inside during daylight."
