This was a feature of the 1946 Dymaxion House.

The Dymaxion was also designed to stay clean, using a downdraft system to draw dust through filters in the baseboard, which meant less time spent dusting and sweeping. A ventilator in the top of the house drew fresh air in, expelled hot air, and kept the wind out, reducing heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer.
Except that it was powered by the wind blowing over the top of the house.
