This is still a design idea, but a clever one: this house takes on different shapes for different types of weather. On a hot day, a screen and shell move out to wrap around the entire home. On cold days, it gets rid of these layers again so the sun can warm all areas of the house. On top of this, all the systems work on renewable energy. The house is called Motus. We can’t wait to see it in real life.
