Sliding Wall House
Sliding House is an innovative house in Suffolk, UK. Architectural firm, dRMM, designed the house with a sliding roof. It’s not only beautiful, but is an amazing achievment in architectural problem solving. It’s also just plain cool.
The roof slides along tracks. In the winter, it covers the structure like a blanket. In the summer, the house’s glass structure is exposed to let in the summer sun. I particularly love the staircase, and the way the movement of the house transforms the three basic structures.
To truly appreciate the beauty of both the design and the home itself, check out Wallpaper’s video on YouTube by following this link. You can find more still photos and a detailed description over at Dezeen.
This seems to be the best of both worlds – a sun-filled house in which one could at least pretend they lived in the tropics, and a cozy warm retreat on a cold winter day. What do you think? Is this a gimmick or a gem?
