Luong, who designed and constructed the rotating house himself, drew on his mechanical engineering knowledge gleaned from extensive online research. His house, completed in 2016 after four years of meticulous building, features a three-story structure that rotates 360 degrees, covering an area of over 100 square meters.

The most remarkable aspect of Luong's design is the underlying technology: the house is set on a circular water tank, 14 meters in diameter, which supports a concrete float with a capacity of 500 tons. This innovative floating foundation allows the house to rotate with minimal energy, powered by a small motor.

In 2022, the rotating house design was recognized with an exclusive patent by the Vietnam Intellectual Property Office, affirming its uniqueness and potential utility, especially in tourism and hospitality sectors.

Luong has expressed his intention to sell the rights to his design, noting, "I hope that my work can be widely applied, particularly in tourist areas where its unique features can truly shine."

While there have been talks with a hotel project in Quang Ninh about adopting his design for a 14-story building, and discussions with a project in Luong Son, Hoa Binh for a seven-story structure, no formal agreement has been finalized yet. Luong has received a deposit from the Lương Sơn project but remains open to negotiations, depending on the scale and specifics of the project.

Addressing the rumors about the $1 million deal, Luong clarified, "These are just rumors for now. The potential deal depends greatly on the project’s requirements and my evaluation of its feasibility."

The buzz around Luong’s invention is not just about the financial implications but also about the broader impact on architectural innovation and sustainable design practices. His work underscores the potential for individual creativity to contribute significantly to industry standards and community enhancements.
