In a project that defies physics and gravity, this rather peculiar California house has become a staple landmark worth a whopping $1.3m.
Typically, your million-dollar dwellings land you some serious bang for your buck – either a penthouse view in New York City or a massive six-bed retreat in the Hamptons.
But this shed-looking house is much more than pictures make it out to be.
That’s because the house, called the Fallen Star, is physically dangling from a rooftop…

This California house defies physics
There are some quite wonderful and wacky houses out there to fit every lifestyle.
Take the apartment-turned-cockpit with a Boeing 737 serving as a sofa, for example.
The ‘Fallen Star’ sits perched on the corner of a seven-story building where it looks like it could slide off and plummet to the floor with a strong wind.
Designed by South Korean architect Do Ho Suh for the Stuart Collection in 2012, the Fallen Star sits above the University of California, San Diego, and is a celebration of the concepts of displacement and adaptation.
Given it was made in 2012, it’s quite obviously not just a gimmick and is a true testament to physics.
Capable of withstanding winds of up to 100mph, the one-room California house sits at a five-degree angle while half of it hovers over the street.
Showcased by Oddity Odysseys on YouTube, the blue shed is accessed by an office building, which opens up to a warm and cozy front garden.
Inside, the members of the Stuart Collection (which this art piece was commissioned for) are all pictured in frames and family pictures to make it more homely.
Still, nobody actually lives in the one-room California house, although it is open to visitors.
While it’s not quite a mansion the size of the Home Alone house, this million-dollar abode really is a work of art.
