Tehran-based architectural
studio Next Office are the brains behind the Sharifi-ha House, which
features motorized rooms that pivot up to 90 degrees to face entirely in
or out at the push of a button, depending on the occupants’ mood or the
weather.
The building was completed
last year. This interesting room feature was inspired by old Iranian
mansions that were traditionally built with both summer and winter
living rooms. Plus, having room (no pun intended!) for spatial
adjustments also allows the building to have an additional introverted
or extroverted dimension to its personality.
The
technique used by the Next Office for the turning mechanism is the same
as the one used in theatre productions. Goes to show that old-school is
really the new cool, doesn’t it?
