... that the Sharifi-ha House has rooms which can rotate 90° to increase the living space and deal with the weather?
- ... that some rooms in the Sharifi-ha House can rotate 90 degrees?

Source: Page 110. Each box can be rotated independently out of the facade to increase living space up to 20 square meters per box.

"Sharifi-ha House features three rooms that can be rotated 90 degrees to open up views and terraces during Iran's hot summers, and turned back to a horizontal position to keep the house warmer during the cold, snowy winters."

- Comment: Sadly no free pictures of this fascinating transformer house. It is in Tehran but I did not think that needed to be mentioned.

Article is new enough and long enough, with proper inline citations and no obvious prose issues. Hook is supported both by reference provided and in the text, as verified by Google Books. Fair use criteria on the image has been filled out, and Earwig tool looks good. QPQ completed. Good to go! — Ghost River 15:26, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey, @Bruxton and GhostRiver: this hook might work even better if you chose not to tell the whole story? I proposed an ALT1 to demonstrate. Let me know what y'all think, thanks! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 11:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: As usual you are on top of it! I think it is a great suggestion and makes me want to click. Ok by me. Bruxton (talk) 13:59, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
