40 Times Architects Really Outdid Themselves And Deserved To Be Celebrated On This Instagram Page

I think less in some ways. Many bugs enter from the ground/foundation. Where you’re up off the ground, that makes it so that anything that can’t fly now has quite the trek to make until it reaches you. At least on this side of the house, haha.

I would think they' get fewer: brightly lit, no crawlspace, and a significant part of it not even directly above ground. Are you thinking of some issue that isn't hitting me? Why do you think they'd get more?

My house which is a typical ranch style was built in what used to be a pine tree farm. The exterminator told us just because we build a house there doesn't mean the spiders and bugs leave.

Let's be real, they have a pool under some conifers, this needs cleaned probably daily anyway. I'm more worried about bird strikes. I hope they have UV reflective glass.

Probably more so because of its placement than design…and in a place like this, spraying for pests would probably be really bad for the ecosystem.

Probably a little less than other houses in the woods due to the reduced floor contact

Yes. The answer is yes. Living remotely has a price. Its worth paying, but there’s a price.

I live in a small town in Australia. My normal kinda modest house gets loads of spiders and insects too.

Underneath the house, yes. Especially if they have outside lights. Lights = bugs = more spiders.

In Florida every summer morning the yard crew around the condos are using leaf blowers to knock down the thousands of giant spider webs on the palm trees and mangrove areas.

C.o.l.d. Bugs are frozen.

Nah, usually there are annual contracts of pest control. They spay some kinda chemicals which kills preexisting pest and new one hates smell so they don't come in that area again.

Until it rains and you either have to take all those chairs/couches inside or watch them get soaked!

Same here.

Any. But the top one literally made me gasp and feel my heart flutter. So, guess I’ll take door 1!

the bottom one

And spiders

Reflective windows. Can't see in from the outside,.

They appear to be a long way from neighbors.

No, exhibitionists did!

Is your stalker a monkey or a toucan??

Of course you've noted that all of these are out in the wilderness somewhere--no neighbors, just views.

Probably one-way glass or so remote they can’t really be seen??

My other question is, how do they heat these homes?

I would feel weird being naked in front of those windows, especially at night. It'd be like a lit-p stage. I get that it's rural, but still.

The view from that window tells me any stalker, etc, who wanted to get to me would require really powerful binoculars. Or a really powerful gun. Not saying it would happen, but it could. Be for me? All that glass looks cold and the view also indicates a higher elevation. That would break the deal for me.

Could be those windows that turn "frosted" at the push of a button. Still lets in light, but not transparent, so no one sees anything.

relaxing in a tub with a beautiful view? Sounds pretty great to me!

How to tell you´re American or British, without saying you are.

Thats what I'm wondering

The Martian Chronicles.

Literally exactly what I thought.

That's what I thought too.

Nah, it's a break away roof. Held on by velcro.

Don't worry it's just a render. "Designed and visualized", never built.

If a tree falls in a forest and there is only a house to hear, does it make a sound?

Not "if" it falls, but rather "when" it falls.

Then don’t sneeze outside!
