Bored with looking at the same view out your bedroom window? Now you can buy a home that spins and never have the same outlook twice. The dome home built in New York, is now on the market for close to a million dollars (£642,219), and is the latest in eco architecture. The incredible design, which will make your head spin, rotates on its own axis so floor-to-ceiling windows can face the sun in winter and be turned away in summer.
Designed by Solaleya, the 40-tonne wooden dome was delivered in a box from France before arriving in America. It took three months to form the moveable foundation and build the 2,300 sqft home. Set in the middle of 28 acres of forest at the base of the Mohonk Preserve in New York, it’s being marketed by agents Douglas Elliman.
With curved ceilings and windows the wooden structure is bathed in natural light. The two-storey house also has a large deck on one side and a balcony on the other. It may seem like it’s delicately balanced, as it locates the hillside and is attached to the ground only by a small central axis, but in fact it can withstand hurricane force winds up to 155 miles per hour. And as it’s lifted off the ground it is also resistant to damp. The interior is open plan with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an office, library and guest room. And the entire house is made with organic material - bamboo & limestone.
Property agent John Samios, of Douglas Elliman, who is selling the unique house says: “It’s a unique property in a unique location. It’s a very beautiful place and is perfect to escape to for the weekend as it’s about an hour away from the City New York. The current home-owner is renting it out for weekends so that potential buyers can get a feel for the space.”
