Upside-down house

Source: Sky News

Check out the happening architectural scene on the Baltic sea island of Usedom. Inventors Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk have created a masterpiece here; they've built a house that is standing upside down!

This is really cool. Apart from being an awesome-looking structure, it also looks like a face! In my previous posts 'Pareidolia' and 'The eternal face', I wrote about things that look like faces, and this house is a classic. Actually, usually even houses the right way up look like faces, so maybe houses are like visual pareidolic palendromes. However, the inside of the house is upside-down too.

Imagine being in this house; it's guaranteed to have some kind of strange effect on your consciousness. I think you can also take it as a social commentary; the world's upside-down, so why not your house?
