Spooky 
Environment is a very popular issue nowadays so environment-friendly houses are finally becoming interesting. Domespace invented their semi-spherical houses over 30 years ago but only a few of them have been purchased and only around France, especially in Brittany, where the company is based.
The Domespace house plans were designed to optimize warmth by natural means, so the house actually turns to follow the sun and gain as much energy as it needs to keep temperature at an ideal level. If you don’t want warmth and sun-rays you can just set it to turn its windows away from the sun. You can command the engine to turn the house at a certain time or program it to do a full day rotation.
These days Domespace houses only come with an engine, but a few years ago if you wanted to buy or rent a house, you had to move them manually. I can imagine such a house for lease: “It’s a great house, spacy, full of light…only thing is you have to turn it yourself”.

looks like the teletubbies residence
During the eighties I lived in a dome home in Manitoba, Canada. It looked almost identical to the ones in your pics but did not rotate. It was an interesting experience living in a round home. We loved it, that is once we got used to taking care not leap up out of bed in the mornings and hit our heads on the walls! One peculiar thing though, was that razor blades, the cheap, ten for ninety nine cents kind, would hold their edge for several months before needing replacement.
4th pic of interior is very nice
Rotating house. Wouldn’t that make it kinda hard to quickly find the front door?
