Great news for Cardiff! An upside-down house has been given the green light by the council and will soon be gracing the city centre. Not your average home, this quirky attraction promises fun family photos and is already a hit in other UK locations like Brighton.
Situated at 2 Churchill Way, you’ll find this two-storey wonder flipping conventional house design on its head. Though it’s not for living in, it’s approved for a year-long stay and is expected to attract tourists and locals alike. The house fits seamlessly into the wider Canal Quarter regeneration masterplan and hopes to boost the local economy.
Did you know? Upside Down House UK Ltd, the brains behind this innovative idea, has set up 13 such houses across the UK and welcomes millions of visitors every year, with a big chunk being families. In Brighton, their house alone sees nearly 100,000 visitors annually!
Standing out in green and white to pay homage to the Welsh national flag, the house won’t just be eye-catching — it’s designed with accessibility in mind, offering wheelchair-friendly paths. Plus, there are discounts for families, NHS workers, and Max Card holders.
The planners assure that this house won’t disrupt the surrounding area or impede pedestrian safety. Instead, it’s set to become a beloved feature of Cardiff city centre, encouraging visitors to explore other local attractions.
