UK architects David Ben-Grünberg and Daniel Woolfson have updated their shape-shifting D*Haus to create a residence with a rotating roof for a site in Devon, England.

The D*Haus Company founders see the residence as the next generation of its Dynamic D*Haus, which was first unveiled in 2012 and was designed to respond to the changing times of the day, seasons and weather conditions.

Called Devon House, this new concept with a rotating roof was intended to suit the reduced mobility of their clients in later life. But the estimated £3 million price tag came in well above the their £2 million budget, so Ben-Grünberg and Woolfson were forced to make some alterations to the design.

The architects created a cheaper, static version of the same design, which received planning permission in April this year.

They remodelled their 2012 design to include a glazed prism-shaped volume elevated on a rotating circular platform to make the most of the 270-degree views available on the sloped site.
