In 2005 sculptors Dan Havel and Dean Ruck transformed two Houston area homes into a spiraling vortex of awesome. Utilizing the structures' existing siding, the artists created a funnel-shaped hole that led users in walking upright...only to leave them crawling out the other side. The installation was made possible because the buildings were slated for demolition, which also sadly means this project has come and gone. (via designboom)

dang, that is amazing
These weren't actually two homes. In fact, it was one building, the Art League of Houston. After this project had been up for a while, they demolished it to build the new, severely modern Art League building.
Hi Anonymous,

That's amazing! It's like a Gordon Matta-Clark moment. The new building is awesome too.
