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.

The owner may also change the direction and speed of the revolutions. At low speed, each floor takes an hour to revolve.

just watch what you say, the wrong command could leave you spinning like a 45-record.....n/t
