I personally like the building. As for the person who called it
Grotesque... I'll take it you mean Defintition number 2 in Webster's
Colledge Dictionary. even though the building itself is "unnatural"
(meaning man made) it is also of a fantastic shape. since it uses a
renewing resource, I would call it Frank Llyod Wrightish. Personally I
sonder how many more uses Povray can be used in this practical manner
work Roland. BTW how much did it cost to build your solar home?

I think "grotesque" is appropriate... perhaps descriptive of the house
than "hideous" but certainly describes the whole effect in it's setting.
Although I like the idea of the house, it is set in a classic, almost
picturesque neighborhood and I am sure the entire area is made unnatural
seeming because of it. It looks like a piece of industrial waste filtering
machinery that the city forced upon the poor residents.
If it had been set in a more modern area, or set apart from the cottages
one sees in the background, perhaps it would seem less grotesque and more
"innovative", or "striking". Less rude and intrusive and more artistic.

Correction: DKB, not DKP, otherwise you don't get to the web page. Besides being just
plain wrong
when it's about the program named DKBTrace :-)

Saw this before but I forget if it's the entire house that rotates or if the solar
panel array is
what revolves outside. I see a curved rail midway up anyway. I'd have guessed only
the panels
move except that deck would allow for a doorway to be oriented throughout the day to
where a person
could still be on that deck while exiting or entering. More difficult to rotate a
house as a whole
though.
I like the uniqueness amongst those ordinary hovels. Would be interesting as a
apartment complex.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

It'd fit right in down in the commercial part of Docklands, but here
in this terraced street it'd look particularly ugly.
There are some images of the aria where I live at this URL somewhere:

2002 until 2003 is the practicall test of the prototype,
after this we will sell this type of houses.

Development costs for the prototype
was $1M
We have to calculate the costs for the series
during the 2 years test of the prototype.
But with the Austrian and German furtherance for
renewable energy, it will be a com

I plan also new city designs.
I hope to have the time to make a POV video about a future
complete solar powered city.
And maybe 10 years later, I post a real video about
such a city :-)

I like it, although I'd say it's more Bauhaus than F L Wright as one
responder indicated. I think some of the other objections I've seen could
be alleviated by the judicious implementation of a little Feng Shui.
Perhaps a stream and some planting (might provide the occupants with some
privacy). Even some ivy on the house itself in such a way as to not
interfere with the solar.
Maybe you could 'Pov up' some plans for the landscaping...I'd like to see...
I've been involved in some design/construction and I know how hard it is to
realize something from an idea. Nice work!!
