We can’t get enough of Ugly Belgian Houses! They’re bizarre. They sometimes hurt to look at. They’re so unique and so far from boring that we can’t help but love them… and love to hate them. 

The brainchild of Hannes Coudenys, the Ugly Belgian Houses project has been going strong for years. Hannes documents some of the most peculiar examples of genuinely Belgian architecture that might make your inner designer wince and facepalm. Below, you’ll find the latest crop of (arguably) ugly houses.

Pssst, Pandas, we know how much you love bizarre architecture. So when you’re done enjoying this architecturally interesting article and upvoting the houses you thought were the worst of the bunch, you should definitely check out Bored Panda’s previous lists about Ugly Belgian Houses here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3

I agree. My brain sees this and thinks, "Those trees can meet in the middle and hide the house."

I would like this a lot more if the branches met over the top, creating an archway, but the inside cut surfaces look very interesting.

I do not mind this. It is much more preferable to the travesties that councils do here where they hack off only the branches near the overhead power lines rather than levelling the entire tree canopy so you get these weird shapes that hang over roads or walkways

    Usually there are, these houses have a very light and airy open kitchen and living room at the back, lot's op large windows that open up to a veranda and a garden. The sober front of the house is where the cooler spaces can be found. Also the privacy is guarded from nosy neighbours and undesired street noises. 😉

    Those houses got built by people rich enough to have 5 bedrooms but not rich enough for a small castle. Usually a high standing community member or a dokter would live in it, keeping his office and waitingroom apart from the living quarters. Like a doktors practice would be built with the same addres.

    According to the Belgian, the success of his project is due to “the fact that we all have a certain opinion on what makes a house beautiful. Or ugly. And the fact that these opinions are only opinions.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Meanwhile, he pointed out that a lot of Belgians also agree that they have a lot of ugly houses in the country. It’s not a unique perspective to have there. However, Hannes firmly believes that it is better to have an ugly house than a boring one.

    If it's facing the right direction, this would be a great roof to put solar panels on.

    “In Belgium, you have a lot of suburbs and housing projects that all look the same and are in fact very boring. Something you see in Holland as well. I prefer ugly than these boring creatures,” he suggested that calling a house ‘ugly’ is almost a subtle compliment.

    If you look, the brick behind that railing has a shadow, under the window above it, like just about balcony door-sized. There’s another one under the window next door. Maybe at some point in history, there actually were balconies there?

    In his opinion, a typical ugly house in Belgium has “its own quirky uniqueness” such as having “a special roof, a special stone, a special decoration.” He added: “We want to express ourselves via our house.”

    Hannes joked that his beloved project has turned into a kind of a cult. “We all love to hate ugly Belgian houses,” he told us. However, Belgium is far from the only place that has errrr unique architecture. “Poland has terrible architecture, as a lot of people have let me see,” he shared his insights.

    It doesn’t mean that Belgium only has disturbingly quirky houses, though. Hannes thinks there’s a lot of good there, too. “I like the work of Gijs van Vaerenbergh, Vens-Vanbelle, De Vylder Vinck Taillieu, Vincent van Duysen,” he said.

    "Because regulations are quite liberal and we love to design our own quirky dreamhouse," the founder of the page said. And some homeowners are so proud of the designs, they’re willing to fight Hannes tooth and nail.

    I think so. The fake frontage probably reserves the right to build a building with the same frontage at a future date. Otherwise planning permission for a future build will probably lost. If you look at the main building itself it appears to be built in a slightly odd way. This suggests that it replaced an older building and had to be built in a similar style.

    This looks like there was either an entire hous, or an appartment upstairs that was broken down, except for the front wall. When I was a kid we lived in a neighbourhood that had houses and some weird construction like this, with a walkway under and appartment hanging over it. That was in The Netherlands. Maube they kept the wall for rebuild later, or for structural integrity

    The small "Kapelleke" (as the little thing in front is called in Belgium) is probably protected as cultural heritage. (They used to be all over the place, often near farmer's fields). The owner of the house would have gotten a really low price to buy the land behind it in exchange for doing the maintenance on it.
