Upside Down House

The Upside Down House is a building constructed entirely in reverse, with the roof at ground level and the foundation pointing upward. The structure incorporates a seven-degree tilt on both axes to intensify the disorienting experience.

Engineers from Q-haus Baltic OÜ completed this architectural project in August 2017 after extensive planning for the dual-axis design. The realization demonstrated new possibilities in experimental construction techniques.

The interior arranges furniture and decorations following a traditional Swedish home layout, but everything hangs upside down. Visitors encounter ordinary household items from unexpected angles and experience how familiar spaces can feel completely foreign.

Visiting requires mental adjustment as the inversion scrambles spatial perception throughout your time inside. Bring a camera to capture photographs from unusual angles that are only possible in this reversed space.

This building differs from other inverted houses worldwide through its special construction with tilts on both axes rather than simple reversal. This dual-tilt approach creates a more complex disorientation effect that standard upside-down designs cannot achieve.
