Moving terrace follows the sun at Robert Konieczny's Quadrant House
This house in Poland by architect Robert Konieczny has an moving outdoor living space that pivots and docks with rooms on either side of the garden.
Konieczny's studio KWK Promes designed Quadrant House to feature a piece of kinetic architecture that tracks the sun's movement.
The mobile part of the building rotates between the living area and the spa. It contains a terrace that is permanently shaded as it moves to follow the sun.
When it docks against either of the interior spaces it creates an open-air extension to these rooms. The living room is entirely lined with sliding glass doors to create a seamless transition from inside to outside.
Both the track and the large hinges that join the terrace to the house are left exposed as an expression of the engineering required to make the building move.
The drive system used to rotate the structure is fully automated and connected to sensors that stop the motion if any obstacles are detected. Manual control is also possible if needed.
