Building Spins 360 Degrees?

Company in Brazil (Suite Vollard) constructed a building in which each floor can rotate 360 degrees. Each building has 11 apartments and each apartment can spin individually in any direction. One rotation takes a full hour, but apartment owner can set rotation speed through apartment control panel. Facades are made of three different types of glass which give wonderful effects when building spins during the sunset. Cost of each apartment is $US 300,000.00.

Brazil is awesome, the woman are beautiful, the people are friendly, the weather is warm, and the landscape is incredible. I was shocked at the seemingly low price of these obviously cool apts, which I'm sure by this time have escalated. If they still cost that much, count me in lol. Last I checked, (my girlfriend is Brazilian), The dollar was only 2.1x stronger than than Brazilian currencey - the "real" ( 1 dollar = 2.1 reals )

How fast can you get these apartments spinning? I reckon that if you hang your washing out of the window, set the spin speed to fast, hold on tight then................Whoa there, just a flight of whimsy!

This is great. Brazil is truly nice country to visit. This is a master piece of architectures. It feels excited to live in a rotating apartment. Other countries will not sit back, they must start projects like this building with more excited and amazing features.
