There are three rotating box-shaped rooms, all of which dramatically change the house's narrow facade depending on their angle.

The three rotating rooms were created as a breakfast room on the first floor, a guest room on the second floor, and a home office on the third floor.

The building is designed round a central void that allows light to pass through the home's floors. This means light can still pass through the building even when the rooms are inward-facing.
