This IG Page Documents Ugly Houses Seen In The Netherlands, And They’re So Bad, It’s Hilarious (30 Pics)
When talking about architecture, there's a fine line between creative and ridiculous. Bold and funny. Tasteful and appalling. And when a project crosses it, people often notice. And shame it.
Ugly Dutch Houses is an Instagram account that does just that. Radiating a similar vibe as its Irish and Belgian "cousins", this online project shares photos of structures that it believes to deserve the demolition crane. Or at least a good makeover.
And it's quite thirsty, too. "I will look for you, I will find you and I will post you," the bio of the Insta says. Liam Neeson approves!

this is an historic architecture way which makes edgepoints in an urban setting recognizable and makes for friendly neighbourhoods. It looks like a face though :D

I think the builder ordered two doors by mistake, and being as it was a clearance sale, he couldn't return one...so he used both.
I Don't Know How To Feel About This
Spot The Asymmetry
I Don't Even Know What To Say About This One
There must be something seriously warped with my mind as I like a fair few of these. Here in the UK it seems every new estate looks like every other new estate, cookie cutter/ copy, paste houses. Sure, there are some in the article that makes you wonder what they were smoking but also it is refreshing (as least to me) to see something different.
Two thumbs up for those bold enough (or crazy enough) to do something different!
I was all steamed up to defend my country but these are really horrible and funny pictures :D
