The Moving House

A "House on the Wheel" refers to a unique architectural concept where a residential structure is designed with the capacity to separate and isolate each individual room. This innovative design aims to offer enhanced flexibility and adaptability to the living space. Each room within the house is equipped with the ability to function independently, allowing residents to modify the layout of the house according to their specific needs and preferences. This concept is driven by the desire to optimize space utilization and accommodate changing requirements within a single dwelling. The "House on the Wheel" concept represents a novel approach to residential design, prioritizing versatility and personalization while offering a new level of spatial freedom within a home environment.
The motive behind giving a movable house is so that being in isolation from the rest of the people, the Smith family can enjoy a different view, different layout of the house, and add a fun element in their quiet and peaceful lifestyle.
This house can also give them privacy from each other during their work time, which can help them to focus on their individual work.

Any two rooms can be attached whenever required like the office and Library so mother daughter can work and study together or Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith can work right next to each other, so daughter’s bedroom and library can be joined.
Many more options can be done as the family desires.
