Upside-down house sees sewn-on bedding
16/03/2010
A strange approach to building a house has proved to be a popular tourist attraction, following hard work to make it as unconventional as possible.
Standing on its pointed roof and using a range of steel beams in the attic, the house is completely upside-down; kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms are all positioned on the topside of each area of the home, which was built on zoo grounds in Gettorf, Germany.
Overall, there are around 50 separate pieces of furniture screwed into the floor-ceiling, such as beds, tables, pictures and a microwave, including a 100lb wardrobe with a mirror.
Creators went to great lengths to ensure everything subscribed to the details visitors expect, even using a needle and thread to keep the linens on the bedstead in place.
It is not the only upside-down house in Germany, however; there is another near the beach of Trassenheide, a seaside resort on the north-east coast of the nation, close to the Polish border.
