Upside down house in Germany opens to public today



Workers put finishing touches on the nearly-completed "The World Stands on its Head" ("Die Welt Steht Kopf") House on the Baltic Sea Island of Usedom on September 3, 2008 in Trassenheide, Germany. The upside down house, complete with upside down interior furnishings, is the brainchild of Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk, and will become a local tourist attraction that will open its doors to the public tomorrow.

Even though this upside-down house looks like a lot of fun to live in, be prepared to enter it with a strong stomach.

Nearing completion in Germany, the house was built as a tourist attraction, and workers are reported to have worked in three-hour shifts due to the sea-like sickness they felt after being in the tilted, upside-down structure.

Surprisingly, this isn't the first time a house has been built like this.
