50 “Evil” Buildings That Might Be Right Out Of Horror Movies (New Pics)
If asked to picture a cozy home, most of us would probably have a few attributes in common, warm light, soft furniture, perhaps a fireplace. One would think that these attributes would also then feature in the minds of the people who design them. But, as it turns out, some architects really have their own agenda.
The aptly named “Evil Buildings” online group is dedicated to exactly that, man-made structures that really seem like they were intended to serve as a supervillain’s lair. So get comfortable as you look at these pointedly uncomfortable buildings, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

It's The Lighting That Really Sells The Menace For Me
Cpt. Christan "Panda Bombero" 1 year ago
The Shadowless Church, also known as the Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park Church, is a unique architectural marvel located in Chengdu, China. It's characterized by its all-white, minimalist design, constructed primarily from aluminum. The church is known for its unique ability to allow light to pass through its structure, creating a "shadowless" effect, especially when bathed in sunlight. Its design, inspired by the lavender fields of Provence and Impressionist art, is intended to evoke freedom, romance, and inclusivity. Those last three and this photo combined, not so much.

Keisuke Oka’s Arimaston Building, Tokyo
Cpt. Christan "Panda Bombero" 1 year ago
Oka began this project in 2005, armed with basic hand tools and a vision. The building’s twisting concrete form reveals his improvisational approach, shaped day by day without rigid plans. Its angular windows and irregular surfaces aren’t mere details; they reflect the rhythm of making—decisions carved into concrete with each pour. Oka even incorporated everyday objects like food trays into the formwork, creating subtle patterns and textures that reward close attention. The building reads like a conversation between sculpture and architecture. It feels personal, almost human, as though each wall carries traces of the hands that shaped it. Despite its unconventional construction, the Arimaston Building is no relic of the past—it’s fully integrated into the urban fabric, yet unapologetically individual. Now completed, the structure faces an unusual challenge: to be relocated in 2025 due to redevelopment. Using the traditional Japanese hikiya method, the entire building will be moved.

I'm sure once the construction is complete, it will look less menacing. Then again, knowing it's a Mormon temple will still make it creepy as fúck.

These aren't real. This was a design submitted by a Dutch architect back in 2011. Suffice it to say, the design was rejected.

I'm all for bashing brutalism, but too many of those are simply beautiful buildings in dark skies or people expressing their own hatred

The title never mentions brutalism. Evil buildings.
