Glowacki Rozanski Upside-Down HouseThe <a href="http://inhabitat.com/boskkes-recycled-sky-planters-create-a-fantastic-suspended-garden/" target="_blank">Upside-Down house</a> is a dizzying architectural creation in Tertens, Austria. Designed by architects Marek Rozhanski and Irek Glowacki of Poland, the house is perched on its gabled peak. Visitors can disorient themselves by roaming the interior, complete with <a href="http://inhabitat.com/underwater-skyscraper-is-a-self-sufficient-city-at-sea/" target="_blank">upside-down bedrooms</a>, bathroom and living areas.1
Glowacki Rozanski Upside Down HouseVisitors may feel as if they are in a movie as they approach the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/abandoned-fishing-boats-transformed-into-beautiful-buildings/" target="_blank">Upside Down House</a>, which looks like it has fallen from the sky in a scene from “The Wizard of Oz.”2
Glowacki Rozanski Upside Down HouseThe “top” of the house, with roof peaks, rests on its chimney stacks and a bed of rubble. The base of the home juts unevenly into the sky, as if ripped violently from its foundation.3
Glowacki Rozanski Upside Down HouseInside, the rooms have an anti-gravity effect. As visitors romp around on the ceilings, each personal effect of the home is kept in place. The fantastical family that “lives” in the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tommaso-guerra-turns-teapots-into-poetic-lamps-with-a-twist/" target="_blank">upside down</a> house presumably has young children.4
Glowacki Rozanski Upside Down HouseToys dot the outside of the house, and are strewn in the family living and dining area. <a href="http://inhabitat.com/upside-down-chair-is-just-as-much-sitting-fun-as-a-real-tree-trunk/" target="_blank">Stools hang at head height</a>, poised against a countertop. The kids’ room is any child’s dream, with fire truck bed, painted murals and an array of stuffed toys, all affixed to the ceiling of course.5

The architect’s obvious humor for creating such a whimsical house can eve be seen in the bathroom, where the<a href="http://inhabitat.com/san-francisco-working-on-plan-to-install-composting-public-toilets/" target="_blank"> toilet</a> seat is left up, to the eternal chagrin of the home’s fictitious wife no less.6
