Inverted Art House Designed Upside-Down, Inside & Out. Upside-down homes and houses as art installations or even strange-but-livable spaces are nothing new, but these builders went out of their way to make sure theirs would stand out from the crowd – most notably by installing every furniture, furnishing and fixture object, element and device they could think of to make the work complete on the interior as well as the exterior.
From carefully attached couches and suspended sofa cushions to hung floor lamps, inverted sinks and ceiling toilets, absolutely every possible element one would want in a dream home is present – it is simple the wrong way around. Ultimately, the experience resulting from the hard work of Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk is one of dizzy disorientation, vertigo as you pass through rooms with no right-side-up frame of reference to help you regain your balance. くりもとミレニアムシティ.

Architecture, Urbanisme. AIA Embraces Transparency in Design. Earlier this month, a Washington D.C District chapter opened their doors to the streets near Chinatown and the Penn Quarter.
The office joined other East Coast chapters in the movement promoting visibility, transparency and sustainability in architecture. “It’s a clear, simple and concise concept,” says Thomas Corrado, project architect with Hickok Cole, the Washington firm that created the design. “The idea was about how to make the space a connection between architecture and the person on the street.”
The design exposes the inner workings of the chapter, building curiosity and creating an opportunity for conversation to the pedestrians passing by.
