ART MATTERS

One of the first zero-energy modern homes in the world, by German architect Rolph Disch

This rotating solar home was the seed for the extraordinary Sonnenschiff Solar Development and the modern solar movement in Germany. The home takes full advantage of the sun by rotating with it, allowing daylight to course though its triple-pane windows and energise its large roof-mounted solar array and solar thermal pipes. The result is a zero-energy modern home that actually ends up generating five times the energy it consumes.
