72岁老人为妻子打造可实现360度自由观景的旋转房屋。

Vojin Kusic built the home in Srbac,northern Bosnia, for his wife Ljubica, who has a desire for changing views.

Kusic recalled that after he reached an advanced age and after his children took over the family business, he finally had enough time to make his wife's dream come true.When they first married,he had built a regular, non⁃rotating home, where he and his wife raised their three children.At the time, his wife wanted their bedroom to face the sun, but this meant their living room faced away from the road. Kusic had to get to work to switch the entire house around.He had to tear down the wall be⁃tween their two bedrooms to turn them into a living room and move all electrical instal⁃lations.

When the family moved, Kusic said he had learnt his lesson the first time and,not wanting to have to switch the home around again, decided a rotating house would solve the problem.

“Once again, this time on the ground floor, I had to start tearing down some walls, at which point, I decided to build a new, rotating house so that she can spin it as she pleases,”Kusic said.

“Now,our front door also rotates,so if she spots unwanted guests heading toward our home, she can spin the house and make them turn away,”he joked.

Having never had the chance to go to university,Kusic designed and built the ro⁃tating house by himself using electric mo⁃tors and the wheels of an old military trans⁃port vehicle.
