"Everyone looked at me like I was mad, they didn't believe what I was saying," Schall said. "I said 'I'm going to make an upside down house,' and they told me, 'Ok sir, sure, go for it.'"

Inspiration for building the house came from a trip to Schall's native Austria with his grandchildren in 2015, where they saw a similar house.
