The coolest apartment building in the world.
An unusual apartment building was inaugurated in Brazil, each of whose 11 storeys turns independently, giving lucky residents 360-degree views of the eco-friendly city of Curitiba.

It was billed as "the world's only completely revolving tower."

Each 300,000-dollar apartment occupies an entire floor of 287 square meters (3,000 square feet).

Lights, air conditioning and the revolving of the apartment can be turned on and off with a remote control or an oral command.

The owner may also change the direction and speed of the revolutions. At low speed, each floor takes an hour to revolve.
How cool is that? How long does it take at high speed? That would make housecleaning a snap. Bolt down the furniture, open the windows, crank that baby up on high, and watch all the trash go out the window.
