The shape-shifting home was first conceived as part Grunberg's graduation project, for which he designed a house that could withstand the extreme sub-Arctic temperatures in Lap Land, a region infamous for its harsh weather.
The pair's design, which they call 'D Dynamic', is based on the work of English author and mathematician Henry Dudeney, a leading puzzle creator.
In 1903 Dudeney invented a way to cut an equilateral triangle into four pieces that could be rearranged into a square, a conundrum he dubbed the 'Haberdasher's Puzzle'.
The 'D Dynamic' house realises this mathematical curiosity as a solution to living in extreme climates. Sections would fold out on rails so interior partitions could become exterior walls in warm weather.
The whole building could even rotate to follow the direction of the Sun throughout the day.
The creators describe their house, which is yet to be built, as 'a product of an applied mathematical realisation'.
"The D Haus Company is set to cause a revolution in architecture and design by transforming Dudeney's idea from the conceptual, to the physical," the makers said.
