"After my children took over the family business, I finally had enough time to task myself with granting my wife her wish," Kusic told the AP.

He decided to build his new house with a spinning feature after remodeling his former family home over the years.

Inspired by Serbian-American inventors Nikola Tesla and Mihajlo Pupin, Kusic told Reuters it took six years to build the house, which rotates on a 23-foot axis beneath the floor.

"This is not an innovation, it only requires will and knowledge, and I had enough time and knowledge," he told Reuters.

At its slowest speed, the house can make a full circle in 24 hours, Kusic told Reuters. At its fastest, the home can complete one rotation in 22 seconds, he said.
