IT’S an eternal problem for architects and homeowners alike: How to keep your house cool in summer and warm in winter.
But this new incredible folding house is able to, in the words of its creators, “metamorphosize” into eight different configurations to adapt to seasonal, meteorological and even astronomical conditions, The Daily Mail reports.
In the summer plan, bedroom one faces east and watches the sun rise as its inhabitants wake up. It can then rotate so that the user is constantly in sunlight, while the house generates energy through its solar panels.
The revolutionary home is based on the work of early 20th Century mathematician Henry Ernest Dudenay who discovered a way to dissect a square and rearrange its parts into an equilateral triangle.
The flexibility of the house allows adaptation from winter to summer and day to night by literally moving inside itself.
Thick heavy external walls unfold into internal walls allowing glass internal walls to become facades; doors can become windows, and vice-versa.
The layout consists of two bedrooms, an open-plan living room and a bathroom, but it too can be adapted to suit the needs of different living situations.
