Sometimes in life it's hard to keep your feet on the ground. But a fully-furnished, three-story house in Taiwan built completely upside down is sending tourists on a topsy turvy ride.

Everything-- from the kitchen sink, to a double bed, dining table, fully fitted bathroom, a fireplace-- even a car -- have been fixed to the ceilings. A group of architects on commission from Taiwan's Culture Department designed the colorful home.

Close attention was paid to details, which include the food on the dinner table to how utensils hang vertically in the kitchen. There's even a computer in the study has yellow sticky notes attached to it.

With just over 3,229 square feet of floor space, hundreds of tourists have been flocking to see the house. An outdoor staircase at ground level leads to the third-floor living room where visitors can see the real appliances, an LCD screen of a cozy fire with working lights throughout.

Photo-taking tourists who appear to be standing on the ceiling pose for pictures, pretending to place shoes on the ceiling or clear up plates on the dinner table above their head.

An upside down house isn't a new concept. In Poland there's a house in Szymbark where visitors can go all year around and in Moscow the All-Russian Exhibition Center is built to resemble a typical European summerhouse -except it’s upside down.

The project is on display until July 22 at the Huashan Creative Park, a site that was once a Japanese plum wine factory but has been turned into an arty warehouse with hip restaurants and a theater showing independent films.
