Just an Upside Down House
Ok 4:20 was clearly an all day event during the 8 months it took two Polish architects Irek Glowacki and Marek Rozanski, to build this bizarre upside down house. Built in the western Austrian village of Terfens, the project is meant to serve as a new tourist attraction and great way of inducing positional vertigo.
Kansas City Public Library

A Fantastical Bed & Breakfast
Located just outside of Durby, Blegium where wizards and worriers come from the La Blade de Gnomes is straight out of fantasy land.
