Isn’t it great how creativity kicks in when times running out. Take for example this incredible and beautiful installation by artists Dan Havel and Dean Ruck a few months before this house was to be demolished…. I’m guessing they saw any opportunity to do something freaking crazy cool to a space that was going to be destroyed and turned this old house into a trippy wooden warp zone! More pics after the jump.(including whats at the end of the tunnel)

Woohaaaa! Vette shit ouwe! Zwaar wapperdiewapsieflap en master! Moeilijk gaaf witte wel! I SURE DO LOVE TUNNELS!
It is just halucinogenic
Not seen this before looks dangerous but that’s probably part of the fun. In the uk
they would ban it on safety grounds!
Oh! So that’s where that mini-black hole I was tracking went!
How am i gonna find my stash now ??! huh!?
that is freaking awesome. they should make more of them
people this is cool
WOW!! We cannot believe how cool this house is! We decided to check out your site because we read a story about Frank Lloyd Wright and we learned about his life by reading his biography. We learned he was an architect! We think it would be awesome to visit that house and a slip and slide down and slip through it! We think you should build more of these!

Wow! Cool house! Is the house still going to be torn down, or are they going to let it stand as either art or an obvious playground?
WoW!amazing and yea..it is trippy enough!
yeah man. shit. this is amazing
how could anyone demolish this! they should build a museum around it.
Great Work — were they tripping!!! lots of splinters.
This looks like something out of Poltergeist, but even cooler since no movie magic was used.
Q cojon es eso?¿ O.O
esta muy bueno, la percepcion es como de traspaso a otra dimension , la idea esta genial ojala aca en chile se hagan intervenciones asi. felicitaciones
great post, that house looks cool to visit but never to live. it really does look like something out of the movie poltergeist =)
Very cool. The things people come up with.
too cool
This is really cool. Another example of the fun things that can be done in the architecture world, even if it is just for fun.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you from the Spanish architectural magazine* /PASAJES DE ARQUITECTURA Y CRITICA* /(Passages of Architecture and Critique).
/PASAJES/ is the only architectural magazine distributed on a monthly basis in Spain. It is also currently the bestselling architectural magazine in Spain. /PASAJES/ is not only widely distributed in Spain, but also in Portugal and Latin America. A normal issue consists of 48 full-colour pages of 269×354 mm size (a bit smaller than A3), and has several sections: News, Building Analysis, Interviews, Brief Essays, Trips, Exhibitions and Books.
We are planning the next Pasajes, which is number *109*, and it is going to be a special issue about dwelling and the experimental innovation in the domestic space.
I am writing to express /Pasajes’/ interest in publishing *
Dan Havel and Dean Ruck’s TUNNEL HOUSE
we donn’t know how to contact the artist, so we would like to ask you if you could give us his mail for contact him
Thank you for your time and I´ll be looking forward to receive your reply soon.
Kind regards,
Luis Rodriguez
redactor pasajes

What is the point of destroying it? Really cool Any splinters?

Does someone live here or is it just a tourist attraction??
that reminds me of the time that flanders’s house on the simpsons was demolished by a hurricane, only to get rebuilt by the city folk in a terrible fashion
