This magical framework turns the concept of a comfortable family house very literally upside down. Designed to challenge your views and awaken your inner kid, this house turns the everyday into the remarkable and provides an engaging experience for every person who walks in.
From the outside, the upside-down house calls with its inverted construction, creating the conditions for the lighthearted bewilderment inside. Crossing the doorway, guests discover they live in a universe in which gravity appears to have turned around its pull. Furniture hangs from the ceiling, and décor pieces challenge your perception of up and down to produce a pleasing confusion.
Every room in the house has special upside-down appeal. With its upside-down TV console and suspended sofas, the living room asks you to consider the daily from an other angle. With its inverted furniture, the bedroom pushes guests to rethink space and orientation, therefore challenging their mental state.

Carefully arranged in their reversed forms, the kitchen displays classic Russian cooking tools and old appliances, producing an intriguing mix of nostalgia and modernism.
With particular programs meant for school groups that investigate ideas of physics, architecture, and spatial awareness via this unique lens, the home has grown to be a popular teaching venue. While creative workshops inspire guests to investigate their own ideas about perspective and design, interactive exhibitions clarify the engineering ideas underlying the building.
The Upside-Down House in Rostov-on-Don is an experience that blurs the border between art and architecture, whimsy and amazement, not only a sight-show.
