Trepanning Off-Centre Centre

This is the nearest anyone has ever got to a representative picture of Trepanning's Off-Centre Centre. Put simply, it's a building which simply refuses to be photographed because the brain-mangling geometry required to build it isn't even at home in three spatial dimensions, let alone two.

The Centre was conceived as Trepanning's community centre but acquired a paranormal aspect and purpose when foundation works upset an ancient piskey burial ground. When builders cut through a gnomenode the freed energy turned a kitchen serving hatch into a small but powerful portal vortex - a rare phenomenon not so much an astral doorway as an extremely dangerous plughole.

Gradually, the architect stopped cursing the daily sacrifice of project managers and came up with a plan that could accommodate multiple dimensions within the same space. Parts of the building have been spotted in Switzerland, Mauritius and the Pompidou Centre in Auld Fronce. Apparently, the building's blueprint is so beautiful, it completely failed to win any awards that were open to nominations by fellow architects.

Today the building is still used as a community centre, but it is also the home of Trepanning's paranormal research programme.
