The only way weather defines my big ol’ poorly insulated house is when the winter is so cold that my electric bill jumps. It gets so expensive that I can’t afford to replace my gutters because all my money went to the power company. However, I believe I’d take that kind of weather over a wind so strong and bitter that a tree grows like this in Denmark.
Now that’s some serious weather!
If you want to live somewhere where perhaps the climate isn’t as harsh (but no promised here!), check out the design by D*Haus where the house moves around depending on wind direction and other elements.
The London-based company has come up with a eco-friendly house that sits on rails, allowing it to change its form into different configurations, pivoting open and closed, based on the weather. According to Daniel Woolfson of D*Haus, “The dissection of the square into four distinct shapes allows it to be rearranged to form the [equilateral] triangle. This concept alone is fascinating, but the possibilities are endless when applying this formula to the world of architecture and design.”
Amazing.
