UK designers David Ben Grünberg and Daniel Woolfson launched The D*Haus Company to develop a house that can take on up to eight different transformations. This shape-shifting house morphs to deal with changing times of day, seasons and weather conditions.
The designers transform an equilateral triangle into a square, which splits the building into four separate modules. Rooms would fold out on rails so that interior partitions become exterior walls during warmer seasons, plus the whole building would also be able to rotate to follow the direction of the sun across the day.
The designers are presenting their initial research and a model of the house at an exhibition at Anise Gallery in London.
