Out of the two entrances, the communal one is guarded by a janitor whilst the other one is to maintain the privacy of Sir and Madam.

For past couple of months, the localities of Tilburg in the Netherlands got bore hearing about the artistic creation of rotating house by renowned architect John Körmeling. Seemingly weird, the making of the project took nearly a decade and its pro-active nature involves a 360 degree churn by standing on the smack dab in the Hasselt roughly. The dot has been chosen to feature artistc creation and the parody is it is being witnessed as the essential gateways to the city. Driven by solar panels, the full-scale model house (5 meters wide, 8.5 meters deep and 10 meters high) starts its rotation in the direction of the traffic and completes a single revolving every 20 hours, which is been seen as a disturbing factor for visitors commuting all the way from remotest corner of the world. The house is unoccupied, but if a drunken bum happens to enter it then he would be in for one hell of a menace.

Fingers crossed as the construction of this would-be world’s most expensive home is under controversy. A billionaire has plans to convert the vacant Athlone House in Highgate into a majestic estate by investing £80m over its revamp. There are number of issues involved. To begin with it is now difficult or rather impossible to expel Harry Hallowes, an unlawful tenant who’s been residing here for past 21 years. Harry claims to have access to squatters’ rights since last year that allows him to continue staying in his tent. His small plot is valued at astounding £4million. But after a revamp, the house will hold a value worth £130mn beating the preceding tag of £80 mn for a house located in Kensington, South-West London.
