With a design seemingly inspired by MC Escher's
drawing above, this cubistic freestanding home
in Frohnleiten, Austria is literally covered in Astroturf.

With concrete staircases that seemingly go
nowhere, but actually serve as supports, the
home is embellished with right angles and large
framed windows.

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.
