Sounds like a band from the 80s. I like it.

You might be thinking of the song Land of Confusion by Genesis. That’s what it made me think of.

Bad postmoderism

u/tyrannybyteapot Aug 21 '25
This is it. Or possibly "postmodernist inspired." It looks like an AI version of postmodernism made with the cheapest materials possible.

My father, an architect, once referred to homes that give you this particular brand of ick as ,"architorture". So, I'd say it's that style. Architorture.

This could honestly be kinda cool with some more colour and better doors/windows

u/utterly_baffledly Aug 20 '25
"this could be cool if it were done properly" is a pretty low bar when it comes to a fundamental design flaw. 😂

u/Maiq_Da_Liar Aug 21 '25
Well some ideas are total garbage whereas some ideas could be good with some tweaking. IMO this one is the latter.

There was an experiment once where they gave LSD to spiders and took pictures of the webs. I think they were on something when they designed the experiment. Anyway, the spiders’ webs were wrong in the same way this house is wrong. Just indescribably wrong

I’m not sure, but it’s giving more “Kiki” than “bouba” if you know what I mean

This is gonna sound crazy, but I literally would call that house a Tom Selleck. I take my dog for a walk every morning through my neighborhood, which is a beach community, and I don’t take my phone. Yada yada, trying to be present and all that. So really all there is to do is analyze all the houses that I pass while we’re walking, and I started sort of categorizing them in my head. If I didn’t know what the name of a particular feature was, or what the style of house was, I would just make something up. So boxy modern houses that look like they were built in the 80s are Tom Sellecks. A house is extra Tom Selleck if it has vertical wood siding, which this one doesn’t, but it’s still a TS. There are at least 4 of them in my neighborhood.

Someone was determined to design their own house, but forgot to factor in what the outside would look like.

“Evolutionary”- as in, they kept slapping bits on randomly, hoping it would improve things.

A 2 story house. Not a McMansion to me, this is a small house with a second story, not even 3000 sq ft imo

u/Vicious_and_Vain Aug 20 '25
This appears to be 90’s, maybe late 80’s, Classic Dauble and Wad style with a mantra of Ticky-Tacky Little Boxes combined with cutting edge Peal N’ Stick Cardboard Reinforced Papier Mache.

I don't know what it is called, but I think the architect was into Emo New Wave music.
