30 Architecture Fails That Are So Bad They’re Funny

This seems like some sort of cruel method of torture/execution.

Weeeee............

Imagine just walking up the stairs an then your lil bro randomly decides to kick open that door for no apparent reason.

I have a feeling this wasn't designed that way but instead starting leaning/falling over many years.

Might be tough carrying the groceries in.

Duct tape, not packing tape. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I feel irrational anger towards this

Inspired by the leaning tower of Pisa

My cat weighs 5lbs I don't think she could walk up these "stairs" without them collapsing.

The old stairs were too steep, so they built a new one with the old one as support.

You missed a spot.

Kid's entrance.

Ahhh found the problem the red circle wasn't big enough

Guess they ran short of mortar . . . like a lot of it.

Those Titan arms wont resist too much time.

Just make sure you don't have any eggs or open liquid containers in the car on the way in.

I think it translates to "God exists. He's Latino. He is at this moment busy securing/holding up this balcony floor"

Roof access.

Tetris

A real support “column”

Jesus, what's even worse is there is no rebar in those supports.

maybe someone shares it from the other side

When the textures don't line up in a video game.

Close enough, let's go home

Was the designer Escher?

This looks like they planned to put on a lift, but decided it wasn't worth It 😔

D'oh

If at first you don't succeed...

Question: why do so many people die in earthquakes?

Looks like access to the elevator motor.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Once the toddlers is out, there is no way in until allowed

One bedroom apartment in New York City, huh?

This a still from a video (no spoilers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIItq0mpcf0

I mean, okay, so they added a chimney later and sacrificed a window. Can we perhaps accept that houses can exist for more than 10 years and get changed?

Compared to the rest of this list, this one is fine. (Granted, that's a *very* low bar...)

LUNCH BREAK!

Crawling area for Minecraft

It's a utility sink.

How is this an architectural failure? An OSHA failure, on the other hand.....

Like a servants stair in old British houses

Can I interest you in some rebar?
