The first rotating house was on Mt. Helix in San Diego. The owner has a patent on the plumbing and electrical connections. I've seen it up close and it is way cool.

When I first watched it, I was kind of thinking....weird but no big deal.
Your comment made me think about the plumbing and wiring problems this would entail solving.
We have a few round and octagonal homes in my area which don't rotate. There's also one house we call "half a house" where whoever began building it ran out of money so they simply stopped building. But the way they did it is strange...it's like someone just sliced 1/2 of the house and took it away!

The engineering to make the house rotate is interesting; but the engineering to make the services - electricity, gas, plumbing work - is a real challenge. I would like to see that in detail.
