Turn your world upside down when
you visit this unique house in Tamparuli – literally! The ‘Rumah Terbalik’
(which translates to Upside Down House) is the first of its kind in South East
Asia and among the five upside-down structures in the world (3 are found in
Europe and another in Japan).
The house was opened to the public
in early February 2012 and has since been attracting visitors from near and
far. The house itself is hard to miss, having been flipped upside down, with
its floor facing skyward. Everything inside the house, from furniture to
household appliances, hover above your head, as the ceiling is actually the
floor. Visitors will notice some distinguishing Sabahan décor and features
showcased in this house.
In the garage, a car is parked upside down. It might
seem disorienting in the first few seconds, but the fascination of it all takes
over. This architectural wonder has also been included in the Malaysia Book of
Records for being the first of its kind in the nation. Visitors can enjoy a
meal or afternoon snack at the Rumah Terbalik Café or pick up a souvenir at the
Gift Shop.
