Upside down house causing problems for visitors - PHOTOS

A German house built entirely upside down with its gabled roof pointing into the ground is making visitors feel ill.

The 120m² home on the northern German island of Usedom opened to visitors this month, but people who inspect it say it makes them feel dizzy and disoriented.

The family home was designed by Polish men Klausdiusz and Sebastian Mikicuik for Edutainment exhibition company and is furnished with chairs and tables stuck to its ceilings.

Visitors to the home enter through the attic and ascend to the “ground” floor. The only part of the house right-side-up is the stairs, so that visitors can use them.

Mikicuik told Reuters: “We didn’t do it for a reason. We just wanted to do something different.”

He said no one would live in the home and that it was intended to be an exhibit.

The home was built with a steel frame to allow the building to cope with all its weight pressing on one point.

“It was very difficult to make and we financed it ourselves without the help of sponsors,” Mikiciuk said.
