No idea, & they don't give any clues either. :-)

In my experiences nothing is ever "perfect". You are bound to have issues down the road. I agree that it's different, and everybody wants to be different.

Buckminster Fuller designed a 'Dymaxion' house which rotated. It was featured in Life magazine around 1947 or so. All stainless steel as well.
Henry Ford had a car display at a late nineteen thirties worlds fair built on a huge cone shaped structure which had many cars resting on it. The whole affair floated on water contained in a round pool and rotated. A device similar to an outboard motor was all that was required to propel the display.

I was thinking the plumbing and electrics would be tricky,
it seems though that the centre of the house did not rotate
and that area contained bathroom, laundry, and kitchen.
Still, power to the outer rooms needed to be supplied.

I believe they are doing something similar with a high rise building in Dubai where each floor rotates. Don't know whether that has got off the ground yet or still in the planning phase.
