Inside the house, designed by Austrian owner Fritz Schall, who lives in Colombia with his family, tourists walk on ceilings where floors would normally be, while furniture is positioned beneath them.
“Everyone looked at me like I was mad, they didn’t believe what I was saying,” Schall told Reuters.
“I said, ‘I’m going to make an upside down house’, and they told me, ‘Ok sir, sure, go for it’.”
Inspiration for building the house came from a trip to Schall’s native Austria with his grandchildren in 2015, where they saw a similar house.
Though the pandemic made building the house a little difficult, it was finally finished at the start of this year, Schall said.
“The pandemic slowed us down a bit, but it’s done now and we inaugurated it three weeks ago,” he added.
For visitors weary of the pandemic and measures including lockdowns and restrictions on movements, the house offers light relief.
“We’ve come from a pandemic, we’ve emerged from a lockdown, so this helps people have a moment of relaxation,” visitor Lina Gutierrez said.
