Upside Down House, Tourist attraction in Raadi, Tartu, Estonia.
The structure stands completely inverted with its roof at ground level and foundation pointing toward the sky, creating an optical illusion for visitors.
Engineers from Q-haus Baltic OÜ completed this architectural project in August 2017, following extensive planning to accommodate the dual-axis design.
The interior design follows traditional Swedish home arrangements, with furniture and decorations mounted upside down throughout the 149 square meter space.
The facility operates daily between 10:00 and 18:00, offering visitors opportunities to capture photographs in unusual perspectives throughout the reversed environment.
This structure differs from other inverted buildings worldwide by incorporating a seven-degree tilt on both axes, intensifying the disorienting effect.
