The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another. ;gobsmacked; Title: Re: A new spin on the skyscraper theme Post by: Colchester Kev on June 25, 2008, 05:21:13 PM Jane showed me that thismorning, i was impressed until it said that the floors turn with the wind ... what if they have a fkin hurricane LOL

Wonder if they'll be in my price range.... did you get bored before this bit?
