Sliding House
London architects dRMM have designed a house with mobile walls and roof that can be moved to cover and uncover parts of the dwelling. The house, in Suffolk, England, features a sliding structure that fits over the static main house, guest annexe and greenhouse. The mobile element, which is 28 metres long and weighs 50 tons, move along rails set into the ground. As it moves, the sliding element creates shifting outdoor living areas between the static elements as well as altering views, lighting conditions and the sense of enclosure inside the house.”
