Upside-Down House Turns World on Its Head

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - If you think your world is topsy-turvy, imagine being in a house where everything is upside down.

That house exists and soon, tourists in Gettorf, Germany, will get to see this wacky abode at the end of the month, the Daily Mail reported.

Carpenter Gerhard Mordhorst and his colleagues called the house the "craziest" job they ever had. Crews screwed 50 separate pieces into the floor – or should we say, ceiling. Beds and a 100-pound wardrobe with a mirror were among the items that had to be secured.

Mordhorst said, "You constantly had to think of the mirror image."

The house is 23-feet-tall, stands on a pointed roof and is supported by steel beams in the attic. And yes, there is a kitchen and bathroom. However, it was not immediately known if anyone has tried to cook scrambled eggs.

Taking months to complete, crews lavished attention on painstaking details such as holding bed sheets in place with a needle and thread.

Hamburg investor Dirk Oster dreamed up this crazy home, which is on the grounds of a zoo in Gettorf.

But it's not the only place in Germany with a unique view. The town of Trassenheide set the world on its head last year with another upside-down house (see photos.) The creators said they just wanted to do something different.

Germany is not alone in offering people a whole new perspective on home and hearth. In Szymbark, Poland, a house turned on its head (see photos) may make you want to reach for the motion-sickness pills.

The brainchild of philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski has attracted thousands of visitors. Aside from the weirdness factor, the house was designed to be a statement about the Communist era in Poland and a warning about spoiling the Earth.

Construction on this curiosity took longer than normal because workers complained of dizziness. Many tourists also said they felt queasy after spending a few minutes inside.
