The tiny Portland home that chases the sun

There’s nothing more disheartening than rocking up to a home inspection and everything is perfect, bar one tiny thing, the aspect means the interiors are dark and cold for most of the day. US-based architect Benjamin J. Kaiser of PATH Architecture, has come up with a clever, though unconventional, solution to this common problem creating a tiny home with the ability to be rotated close to a full circle – providing sunlight at any time of the day.

The fully inhabitable 144-square-foot home is fit with floor-to-ceiling windows, a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, dining room and front patio. And for global warming, energy-conscious folk its ability to regulate heat means one low-watt heater does the trick.

Branded “359,” after how many degrees it can be rotated (leaving one degree ensured the electrical wires and water lines weren't tangled), the home has been built on a turning mechanism that allows for a permanent north facing feature and to keep things interesting; a forever changing view. 

According to Slate an off-the-grid 359 will set you back USD $90,000, however inclusive of full plumbing and electrical hook-ups you’re looking at USD $145,000.
