Rotating Mini Cabins

This Mini Cabin Rotates 360 Degrees to Follow or Avoid the Sun

— May 25, 2016 — Eco
Built by Telmo Cadavez in Portugal, this endearing mini-cabin is extremely versatile.

The cabin has an unconventional shape but was built tall enough for people to stand up in. It incorporates passive solar features with a large window and the house's ability to rotate 360 degrees and follow the sun if the user wishes. The window also functions to provide a beautiful view for the user, especially at night as the bed the house features is pulled out to face the window -- perfect for those who enjoy stargazing. The interior is versatile and uses space efficiently, with a table and bed that can both fold into the wall.

The small and versatile mini-cabin will soon be used for "commercial purposes," making it the perfect getaway for people who would like a more interactive experience while camping.
