We all know that. But some of us have gone a step ahead and actually converted our houses upside down. Bad with philosophy? Who needs all those high sounding thoughts when you can see it? So, here goes folks; ten houses that are upside down!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Device to Root Out Evil, Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you guessed right, it is an inverted church. It was commissioned by the Stanford University, and built by Dennis Oppenheim. It is called &#8216;Device to Root Out Evil&#8217;. As you can see, it already has its steeple buried in the ground. Presumably, the first step to &#8216;root&#8217; out evil. The President rejected the 25 ft tall, aluminum and glass structure, with words so bland that they are sure to go down in history. &#8220;Not appropriate&#8221;, he said. The structure now stands in Harbour Green Park in Vancouver. In case you were wondering: no, you can\u2019t live in it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Norman Johnson&#8217;s Upside-Down House, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Norman Johnson decided that the best way to get people interested in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lostparks.com\/udhouse.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homes<\/a> was to display it upside down. So, he built a model, complete with upside down furniture, upside down toilet, and wonder-of-wonders, an upside down car in the drive, just outside the Sunrise Golf Village, where similar houses (but the right side up) were for sale. Are you interested in buying? Figure out how you are going to sit on the toilet seat first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Wonderworks, Florida &amp; Tennessee, USA <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is supposed to be an amusement park attraction. The one that you see in the picture is at Pigeon Forge USA. There is another at Orlando, Florida. Unlike other parks this one is \u201can amusement park for the mind,\u201d whatever that means. Are you wondering why the house is on its roof? Keep wondering. Wonder works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Upside-down house, Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one is a great place to live in. It has a nice bathroom, a great kitchen, even a dining table complete with dishes just ready to eat. There are just two tiny little problems; the house is in a zoo, and it is upside down. The 23 ft tall structure has been designed by carpenter Gerhard Mordhorst, Gesellse Splettstober and Manfred Kolax and is located in Getorff, Germany.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. The World Stands on Its Head, Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Germans seem to love this sort of thing. Look carefully, is it the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendhunter.com\/trends\/upside-down-houses-the-world-stands-on-its-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">house<\/a> standing on its head? No, you are wrong. It is the world standing on its head. That is what the thing is called &#8216;World Stands on its Head&#8217;. Located in Usedom in the Baltic Sea, the wonder house was opened to the public in 2008.<\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>6. House Upside Down, Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/englishrussia.com\/index.php\/2006\/11\/28\/house-upside-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">house<\/a> is no surprise. Anyone who knows anything about the soviet regime knows that things were upside down there. But, we are not in the soviet era anymore, right? So what happened? This, after all, is not an amusement park, nor a zoo, nor a seller trying radical advertisement. Is it the competitive spirit of the Russians? If <em>you<\/em> can live upside down, so can <em>we<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Upside-Down House, Poland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ok. I have no idea why this <a href=\"https:\/\/freshome.com\/2007\/09\/08\/amazing-upside-down-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">house<\/a> is as it is. It was created by a businessman and philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski. Maybe he thought it was a good deed to let the world know the truth about reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.Goldcity Tourism Center, Turkey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Turks in Antalya seem to have been inspired by Norman Johnson. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishturkey.com\/editors-choice\/turkish-upside-down-house-in-antalya.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">house<\/a> too is built to attract tourists to the area. The architecture has made it &#8220;one of the most popular attractions for tourists in Antalya region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.House Attack, Viena, Austria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98960\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2011\/02\/House-Attack-Viena-Austria.jpg\" alt=\"House Attack, Viena, Austria\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2011\/02\/House-Attack-Viena-Austria.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2011\/02\/House-Attack-Viena-Austria-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2011\/02\/House-Attack-Viena-Austria-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Source : assets.atlasobscura.com<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flixya.com\/photo\/1543140\/Erwin-Wurm-House-Attack-Viena-Austria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">house<\/a> looks like it fell out of heaven and landed on top of the stocky museum &#8211; upside down of course! The house is another piece of art sending out a message to all humanity staring up at it open-mouthed. You might call it the artist&#8217;s portrayal of the common man&#8217;s quest for accommodation among the upper class luxuries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. House of Spain, Kathmandu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This house is a part of a theme park and attracts lots of tourists. Located in the Spanish Island of Majorca, House of Spain is a Tibetan-style Mansion &#8211; so the name. You will have to go to the hill and then you will receive a room-room tour by the hosts (hosts also help those sea-sick tourists step out). Certainly an experience of the other-world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our world is a topsy turvy place.
