30 Construction Solutions That Don’t Solve Problems, Only Create Them, As Shared By This Instagram Account (New Pics)
Many of us instinctively know whether a design is good and user-friendly or if it’s something clobbered together at the last minute without much thought for aesthetics, the future, or our poor artistic feelings. However, some home design ‘solutions’ are so problematic, they deserve to be named and shamed far and wide.
That’s where the Russian ‘Typical Rykozhop’ project on Instagram comes in. The account documents the most egregious design and construction decisions that would make any design major’s jaw drop (watch some of them faint, too!). Scroll down for the best of the truly worst (or is that the worst of the worst?) and upvote the design solutions that you simply love to hate, dear Pandas.
If you’re in the mood for some more horrifying home aesthetics, awful craftsmanship, and attempts to make things fit, then you’re more than welcome to browse Bored Panda’s first article about ‘Typical Rykozhop’ right here. It’s the perfect lesson about what not to do.

I would still let it go empty and be out of toilet paper every now and then.

A shameful display of toilet paper wealth. There are people out there who only have one or two 20 roll packs.
That's not emergency, I think that's the one that's in use.
Load More Replies... A good move when we all thought toilet paper was needed to solve the COVID problem.
....oh and mine! (All of mine, that is)

What cracks me up is they have this amazing storage solution but the TP roll being "used" is just sitting on the toilet tank. LOL
This is probably done for the convenience of a disabled person living alone.
I kinda like it actually...storage and efficient in one....not so bad.
Does anyone else see the wall and how it looks like it is either sagging or bowing? I can't stop trying to figure out what is wrong with the wall.
Fisheye lens. The wall is straight, the camera lens has made it look bowed to accommodate a wide angle image in a standard frame.

Think of all the nasty germs and ecoli on those unwrapped rolls.
This thing should make a pinball sound effect everytime you take a new roll
Just no. Extra tissue rolls should not be stored near the toilet, for the same reason you don't keep your toothbrush there. Even with the lid closed, nasty particles can escape and settle on anything within reach.
Yet they still need 2 extra rolls: one on top of the rail, and another on the water tank.
I'm just thinking of all the flying poo particles from a lidless public toilet... All the tp is going to be covered in germs after a month on the wall...
I’ve seen something like this in an interactive kids museum. I can’t remember what the exhibit was but I think using it for 🧻 is a bit overkill. This person is obviously afraid of running out.
Not practical. Most homes don't have this much wall space and commercial spaces would have a major TP theft on their hands.
I think I want one! The hopper should swing down so that short people can replenish it. When accused of hoarding toilet paper you can explain that it's the way the house is designed. Maybe add a little of ornamental iron work for aesthetics.
Am I not seeing an actual spindle for the toilet paper? It's sitting on the toilet and the shoot but no actual holder for easy access?
My ex-boyfriend dumped me one week ago after I accused him of seeing someone else and insulting him. I want him back in my life but he refuse to have any contact with me. I was so confuse and don’t know what to do, so I reach to the Internet for help and I saw a testimony of how a spell caster help them to get their ex back so I contact the spell caster and explain my problem to him and he cast a spell for me and assure me of 2 days that my ex will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my ex came knocking on my door and beg for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married. Once again thank you Dr Believe. You are truly talented and gifted.He is the only answer. He can be of great help and I will not stop talking about him because he is a wonderful man.

That's why there was no toilet paper available at the beginning of quarantine
Well, I guess we know now where all the damn toilet paper went.
Putting a lock on the fridge would be cheaper and with the same result.
For some reason, the ‘Typical Rykozhop’ Instagram account appears to have been recently deactivated. We’re not sure about the reason, but we’re hoping it comes back online to entertain all of us with its design spookiness in the near future.
Tim Antoniuk, an Associate Professor of Design Studies at the University of Alberta, previously spoke to Bored Panda about design projects, who’s responsible for the final vision of a home during building, and how important communication is.
According to Tim, the designer in charge of the building project has to make sure that their and their client’s vision is focused and becomes reality. That’s why it’s vital to communicate very clearly and avoid any ‘fuzziness’ or leave room for too many interpretations.
"Certainly, this is frustrating and it puts extra pressure on the designer, but everything, in my view, rests in the designer's hand. This is why some of the most outstanding designers in the world have such a deep knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, of the problems that can happen during installation,” Tim explained to Bored Panda about the important role that designers play during projects. Their responsibilities go deeper than some of us would think at first glance.
"It's hard, but that's why the best designers get paid so well for their outstanding work. They do great design/aesthetic work, but they also create efficiencies and they foresee and spot (some) problems from happening,” the design expert said.
I don't really mind the wall, it's just pattern, but why are the shower curtain so low?
However good you might be, it’s still impossible to plan for everything. Sooner or later, something will go wrong. But a way to make as few mistakes from happening as possible is by keeping the builders on your side. "Many jobs cannot just stop because a designer is not onsite or is not able to be reached. That said, builders need to honor the designer's vision, but again, if there is 'fuzziness' in the drawings or plans, decisions will be made by people that we may not want to make them."
According to Tim, a good project comes together when builders follow through with the designer’s vision, there’s ample communication, there are great drawings and visuals, and the designer is “exceptionally” well-educated in construction. "We exist in a field that is ever-changing with the introduction of new materials, new construction requirements, and restrictions," the expert noted.
The bedrock of everything, though, is cheesy but tested and true: clear and honest communication. "It is simple to say, but communication and having an outstanding relationship with the builder is critically important. At 'Architure,' we constantly visit and hang out with the Trades. We like to talk with the people that have 'boots-on-the-ground.' These are the people that are literally building our products and spaces. If you piss these guys off, treat them poorly, or don't communicate well, they can ruin a project. It may sound flippant, but we see these people as our partners."
I suppose you could put a corner shelf in and make it a feature. Put a pretty throw rug over the massive hole and voila!
A bit earlier, Tim went into more depth about good and bad designs with Bored Panda. "Quite often, this relates to ergonomics and the usability or functionality of the products and services and systems. Having said that, I think far too many people expect poor design that doesn’t really work well," he said.
Tim believes that good design is “intuitive, deeply sympathetic and empathetic to the user at all levels, and at some level, it is emotional.” According to him, good design “is a catalyst for giving us feelings.” The expert added that we can learn how to create high-quality and good designs, as it’s a skill like any other. However, we should, first of all, unlearn any bad skills that we’ve made a habit of.
Large white is waste pipe from toilets, sinks etc. Blue pipe is cold water feed. Insulated pipes are probably central heating feeds. I'm worried about how the main sewage pipe is patched using screw bands and a piece of cut pipe
In the cold part of Europe we have coil-pipes in the bathrooms (we call them "snakies" 🐍). I suppose this was a DIY attempt?

I think most of these were really finished works and I mean this in the worst way!
Some of these appear to be other countries. Maybe they do not have the same materials available?
Actually most of these pics appear to be from less privileged houses in third world countries. I believe that these kind of posts clearly show that privileged countries identify their way as the proper way.
This is a fine collection of proof that many human beings were conceived in "what goes wrong when bloodlines breed" or "when alcohol is involved".
I had to quit reading - this was kicking my OCD into overdrive.
How it was supposed to look. 1635868359...1675ec.jpg 
we've got two construction problems on the way to my school. the first one is the road construction they've been working on for over a year, this week they put up a time line, and the finish goal is summer 2022. the other one being some sort of broken telephone pole. there solution? a truck.
Wow... We are used to the "make money easily" scam, but the witchcraft cult is a whole new level.
