Bohumil Lhota, a 73-year-old builder, turns the house he built in Velke Hamry, near the town of Jablonec nad Nisou, 100km (62 miles) northeast from Prague. Lhota conceptualized the idea to create the unique house and started to build it in 1981, keeping it close to nature to benefit from the cooler ground temperature. Lhota's house, built in 2002, is able to move up and down and rotate on its sides, which allows him to adjust to his preferred window view.
