While the idea of having a rotating house isn’t a new one, having them commonplace is. It is becoming more and more of an architectural trend to build houses that can rotate and is now being considered to be a new housing luxury. The Dubai Dynamic Architecture towers are the first of many new designs to be proposed for some of the world’s most forward-thinking building plans. Companies in Nevada, Brazil and California are simultaneously beginning to develop their own method of creating buildings that will be able to rotate 360 degrees independently. Plans are also being proposed in Canada, Japan, Portugal, and throughout the United States.  The custom houses built in California only use between 370 watts and 1 kilowatt of power for every hour the house was rotating. These houses also have an interesting way of delivering power: there's a metal brush on the that sweeps against a metal ring connected to a power supply inside the anchored base.
