[T]he three-story Sharifi-Ha house in Tehran, by design firm nextoffice, can transform the layout of their house in various cool ways with the simple push of a button.

Three mobile wooden volumes containing different living spaces – a guest room, home office and dining room – can be aligned flush against the fixed part of the home, rotated so the glassed-in ends face a variety of angles, and extended in or out telescopically.

It can create outdoor terraces, switching depending on seasonal needs or simply personal preferences.

Feeling like caving? Done. Need a better space to entertain company? Done.

I do rather wonder what it takes to power these Autobot-like transformations. Hopefully something less bulky than a nuclear reactor. Though in the latter case, that might actually explain some of Iran’s nuclear ambitions…
