September 12, 2012 - The House that Escher Built

[SIZE="2"]With a design seemingly inspired by MC Escher's
drawing above, this cubistic freestanding home
in Frohnleiten, Austria is literally covered in Astroturf.[/SIZE]

nowhere, but actually serve as supports, the
home is embellished with right angles and large
framed windows.[/SIZE]

Trippy!

I would imagine anyone trying to live there would do a lot of tripping... also falling, bruising, and hurting. :wheelchr:

What I love are the stairs coming down from the roof. If the stairs are all supporting structures, what do they support?

Somebody has waaaay too much time/money.

reminds me of what they did to that poor house in Beetlejuice.
