Could you live in house that was built upside down? - PHOTOS

07 May 2012 [14:24] - TODAY.AZ
At first glance, this house looks like it's been uprooted by a mighty tornado and planted on its roof. Amazingly it was built this way, as an Austrian tourist attraction, by architects Irek Glowacki and Marek Rozhanski.

As well as its impressive exterior the house is fully furnished with decor, belongings and even a car - all painstakingly installed upside down.

The architects were enlisted with the task of crating a new tourist attraction for the town of Terfens, situated 15 miles west of Innsbruck.

The Polish pair spent eight months completing the detailed model - and it's easy to see how it took them so long. Guests are invited to stroll past a porch that's suspended in the air and enter the house through an 'upstairs' window.

From a distance you can even see the foundations and remains of a basement, perched where the roof should be.

Once inside, visitors stare up in wonder at a bathroom with fittings all hanging from the ceiling and marvel at a gravity-defying garage that features a real vintage upside down VW Beetle.
Children's bedrooms are even authentically messy with toys stuck to the ceiling.
An elegant kitchen/diner includes a working oven and fridge.

And the living room appears to feature a TV and functioning fireplace - even though the chimneys point into the ground. The upside down house opened its doors to guests this month, and has become an instant hit - attracting visitors from across the region.
