‘You can change the view’: rotating house goes up for sale in New Zealand

Engineer Don Dunick took years to conceptualise and build ‘the lighthouse’, which can turn 360 degrees to offer views of the sea or native bushland

A house in New Zealand that can rotate continuously like a carousel has been listed for sale for the first time since its owner designed and built it 35 years ago.

The building, nicknamed ‘the lighthouse’, perches on Auckland’s coastal Maraetai hillside atop a two metre-wide cylindrical steel base and is believed to be the only one of its kind in the country. A full revolution takes 33 minutes.
