Want to see something cool and unusual that will show you that human creativity has no limits? This list of 10 upside down houses from all over the world will surely leave you with something to talk about for a long time.
1. Device to Root Out Evil
We’ll start with the most interesting construction set upside down – a church. Located in Harbour Green Park,Vancouver, this church sits on its steeple, hence the name – Device to Root Out Evil. Made out of modern materials like aluminum and glass, the church was built by Dennis Oppenheim.
2. Norman Johnson’s Upside-Down House
This one has it all – including upside down furniture inside and a fascinating upside down carport, just as a normal house would display in a normal suburban environment. Except this house and all its features makes you dizzy. Built to draw attention to homes for sale, this Norman Johnson model house can be seen in Florida’s Sunrise Golf Village.
3. Wonderworks
Built as “an amusement park for the mind“, Wonderworks upside down house can be enjoyed in two locations – one is at Pigeon Forge USA and the other one awaits visitors in Orlando, Florida. It does question the way we look at houses, structures and the surrounding world.
4. Upside-down house
This Upside-down house in Getorff, Germany, is a fantastic model of a residential house, but its name does not even begin to express its fascination. Built by three carpenters – Gerhard Mordhorst, Gesellse Splettstober and Manfred Kolax – the 23 feet tall upside down house acts as a zoo – imagine that!
5. The World Stands on Its Head
Yet another upside down construction in Germany, the interesting “The World Stands on Its Head” house in Usedom in the Baltic Sea displays a colorful play between a dark blue roof and light blue walls. The only weird thing is that it stands on its head.
6. House Upside Down
This Russian display of upside down architecture is a simple yet very powerful way of presenting a rare type of houses seen today in many cities from many countries. Made out of wood and standing on a wooden roof, this home must be interesting to experience.
7. Upside-Down House
Another house that expresses its basic feature in the name – this time seen in Poland. Designed by businessman / philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski, this house has a funny observation deck on top – maybe from up there, the world appears upside down too.
8. Goldcity Tourism Center
Turkey’s Goldcity Tourism Center displays an upside down architecture and it was named “one of the most popular attractions for tourists in Antalya region”.
9. House Attack
Located in Vienna, Austria, the “House Attack” upside down structure sits on top of Vienna’s Museum Moderner Kunst (MuMoK) since 2006. The very creative installation by Erwin Wurm shows how a museum can become part of a sculpture and symbolizes “conservative, small-minded longings”.
10. House of Spain
When visiting the Spanish Island of Mallorca, make sure you go see the House of Spain. This Tibetan-style Mansion can be visited and I bet you will not only enjoy the reversed structure, but also the surroundings. Hope you enjoyed our tour of upside down houses and take care.
