FAQs

Is the house always rotating?
We rotate the house depending on who is home to give everybody great changing views, but we do not rotate at night because people are sleeping and you can't see anything in the dark.  :)  The house can do one full revolution before rotating back again and we can dictate which part of the house faces which direction at any time. This is carried out by a mobile phone app.

How quickly does the house rotate?
It takes the house about an hour to make a full rotation. The speed is so slow that you wouldn't notice the movement unless you were looking out at a fixed point of reference.

Why have a house that rotates?
There are many advantages to having a house that rotates. Not only can you position the house to take advantage of weather conditions (e.g. choose between sun and shade, breeze and calm, etc.), the views can be enjoyed in all parts of the house (e.g. wake up to ocean front in your bedroom or watch the sunset in the living room). But for Around the Sea it is so all of our guests get a variety of beautiful, ever-changing views throughout their stay so that it never gets boring.  :)

How do I book a stay at Around The Sea?
Please visit our Book Now page and put in your requested dates for details.

Can I host an event at Around The Sea?
Of course! We would like to help make your event a special one. Please contact us to discuss.

Are there other rotating houses in the world?
Yes!  Although Around the Sea is the first multi-unit Rotating House for guest stays, the Everingham Rotating House (the house that inspired Around the Sea) is located in Wingham, Australia a few hours north of Sydney. 

The world's FIRST rotating house was actually Canadian - Check out Mr. Basil (Barney) Oldfield's rotating house which began construction in the mid 1960's. 

In 1994, Rolf Disch built the Heliotrope in Germany which was the world's first rotating home to create more energy than it uses, as it physically rotates with the sun to maximize its solar intake.  

The rotating DAngelo House sits at the base of the San Jacinto mountains in Snow Creek Village, 15 miles from Palm Springs, and provides (several) views of the dramatic landscape. 

You can take a visit to Don Dunick's Lighthouse Rotating House in New Zealand and there are also rotating houses in San Diego, Canberra.  

The Lofetnberg rotating "castle" in Italy, which may have been the world's first moving structure of any size (1935).

We are always trying to meet & coordinate with other Rotating home owners to build a global network of people who like to think "outside the box", so if you know about another rotating house, then please e-mail us at: info@aroundthesea.ca
