Is this the shape of things to come? This house has a shape-shifting facade thanks to swivelling pods that allow the rooms to be opened up in summer or turned inwards in winter. Designed by architect Alireza Taghaboni of Next Office, Sharifi-ha House features three rooms that can be rotated 90 degrees to open up views and terraces during Tehran's hot summers, and turned back to a horizontal position to keep the house warmer during the snowy winters. Traditional Iranian homes serve all seasons by offering both winter and summer living rooms. With this modern design, this home can do that in a unique way.
