triachus Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 As a Belgian I am amused by this, and I felt like sharing with everyone here the good taste us Belgians have: http://uglybelgianhouses.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) lol I kind of like the first one you posted though. It reminds me of one of those folded drawings where you don't see what the first person drew and you continue the drawing. Know what I mean? Somebody drew the roof, then someone drew the second floor and then somone drew the first floor, without having any idea how the rest of the building looked.

triachus Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 lol I kind of like the first one you posted though. Yeah, the ones that look like they smashed two old houses together can look pretty interesting. But that modern stuff, yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ooze Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) yeah but you should see the stuff we have inside the house Edited October 29, 2013 by Ivan Ooze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Jan Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Lol, Armand rocks. Belgian houses too (and roads, and everything else because everything is either brown or grey in Belgium), they are one of our fave attractions when cruising through Belgium.

Bob Dylan Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I think they look awesome, in a post-modernist kind of way. You don't see postmodern anymore on houses, logically, so it's important to keep them part of our architectural history (1970-1990). Tacky doesn't mean ugly necessary.

manmower Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The entrance to that last one looks like a Krell doorway out of Forbidden Planet. Also, no need to worry about them going extinct, new ones like these are still being built all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Dude, people pay hella big bucks for architects to come up with stuff like that for their new modern home in gentrified neighborhoods here in Austin. Except it's way less funky and more IKEA-y: http://austinmodernliving.com/agave-austin-nine-sixty-nine-969-modern-homes.php I kind of like these, you don't see such 60s, 70s, and 80s homes like that in Texas: some existed but most of them were torn down and replaced.

Guest cult fiction Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I would love to see these houses around. I hate cookie cutter houses. I'd rather look at an aesthetically offensive house with a wild design than an aesthetically inoffensive house that looks like every other house on the block. THIS is what an ugly house looks like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly Foil Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 what's that sign/mirror/whatever in the first image? Looks like whatever is on the cover of this O Rang album: They're usually placed in turns where it can be hard to see what's coming up. Very handy.

BCM Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I like most of these houses...seen much uglier in the UK on circa 1970s housing estates and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
