House Built Entirely Upside-Down

In August 2008, an extraordinary home received its final touches and was declared a piece of art. This single family-sized home, built in Germany by two entrepreneurs, Klausdiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk , has received a lot of buzz from around the world. Though they say there was not one specific reason they built the home, all visitors will take away something different after walking through a house that is entirely upside-down.

Yes, upside-down is unique but has been done before; however there are features that make this house the only one of its kind. This house is upside-down inside and out. All appliances and furniture were installed upside-down including the toilets, sinks, sofas, beds, and even small objects such as fruit on the upside down dining room table. As the first visitors of the house entered, they said they experienced feelings of disorientation and dizziness. Spectators also say they are quite humored by the whole idea. These visitors will have the ability to see everyday sights in a totally new way. The house was rightfully given the name "World Stands on Its Head."

So why did these business partners decide to invest their own money into a house that will be uninhabitable? These men were inspired by homes that were built with the exterior upside down and decided to make a home with both exterior and interior inverted. They were only trying to do something different, and offer visitors an alternative view on everyday life. Though the house can be seen as comical to some, the builders say it was built mainly for humanitarian and educational reasons, not comedy for the Edutainment exhibition company. Each person experiences different thoughts and may even have altered visions on what they once believed about life. One thing is for certain, those that believe every thing must be built on a solid flat foundation and houses can only be built from the first floor up will have different thoughts after seeing this creation.

As of September 4th 2008 the exhibit has been available for people to visit. Anyone who is planning a trip to Germany must take the time to see this home in the town of Trassenheide on Germany's Baltic Sea island of Usedom. Be prepared when entering the home, your mind may not know how to react. Visiting this house would be eye opening, but I surely wouldn't want to use the toilet in this house!
