To appease his wife wanting more diversified views from their home, 72-year-old Vojin Kusic designed and built a fully operational rotating house.

The unique project was born through the couple’s former home, which Kusic routinely remodeled to meet wife Ljubica’s desires. After altering the home so that the family’s bedrooms faced the sun, Kusic says his wife grew frustrated at not being able to see people entering the front yard, which faced away from the road because of the previous remodel. 

As reported by Associated Press News, Kusic said, “I had to tear down the wall between our two bedrooms to turn them into a living room and move all (electrical) installations. It was a very demanding task, it took a lot from me, but I did what she wanted.” 

With more desired remodeling, Kusic decided to build an entirely new house that could adapt to Ljubica’s needs. 

“Once again, this time on the ground floor, I had to start tearing down some walls, at which point, to not wait for her to change her mind again, I decided to build a new, rotating house so that she can spin it as she pleases,” Kusic said.

Situated in Srbac, a small, rural town in northern Bosnia, the new home sits atop a concrete base and uses electric motors and the wheels of an old military transport vehicle to spin 360 degrees. According to Kusic, the house can make a full revolution in 24 hours at its slowest speed and in 22 seconds at its fastest. The project took six years for him to complete. 

According to Reuters, Kusic said he was inspired by Serbian-American inventors Nikola Tesla and Mihajlo Pupin. Additionally, he said coming from a poor family without the means to receive a good education pushed him to look for ways to make things by himself. 

"This is not an innovation, it only requires will and knowledge, and I had enough time and knowledge," he said.
