Kubuswoningen – Rotterdam, Netherlands
While we understand that European architects love to push the envelope when it comes to extraordinary creations, this is one project that should have remained in Piet Blom’s head. Blom hit Rotterdam in the Netherlands in 2013 to erect what he called a forest-like creation where the structures are supposed to look like trees. We really would not see the natural influence unless Blom told us that was what he was going for, and even then we need to stretch our imagination.
Cat House – Belgium
Even “crazy cat ladies” might struggle to find this feline-inspired monstrosity adorable. Ugly Belgian Houses found the “Cat House” particularly titillating thanks to its face designed to look like a cat’s. The enormous, minimalist cat head, with its hollow round eyes and gaping, triangular mouth, makes for one of the most fearsome tributes to one of humanity’s most adored furry companions that we have ever seen. Only hardcore cat lovers could love here, or cats themselves.
