Pointy House – Dorset, UK
Alex Liivet took to Flickr to challenge the opinion of this Dorset home’s owners. While they are probably very pleased with its outcome, Alex couldn’t help but rain on their parade. He did not agree with the architect’s goals here, and in the general Poole area, too. He described this wealthy part of the UK as inundated with hideous homes, whose design and construction were funded by millionaires with little in the way of taste. The triangular Pointy House is an excellent example of too much money coupled with poor taste.
Brown House – Vancouver, Canada
Another Flickr user kindly provided this colossal chocolate palace that boldly overlooks the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada. This home is so enormous that it easily dwarfs the rest of the residences in the street. Sometimes, standing out is the last thing that you want to do, especially when your windows seem to have been randomly placed and you chose Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cups as your color inspiration. Thanks, Brown House, now we need some chocolate!
