The “Cursed Architecture” Twitter Feed Showcases The Best Of The Worst (40 Pics)
Whether we're talking about the subreddit Crappy Design or the Instagram account Ugly Irish Houses, the Internet seems obsessed with tasteless crimes against aesthetics and functionality. If you are too, the Twitter account "Cursed Architecture" is right up your alley.
Its hellish content includes strange angles, melting paint, vaguely threatening toilets, stairs that lead to nowhere, and more. Basically, the kind of stuff that architects and interior designers would imagine in a horror-comedy. But believe me, you don't have to be an industry pro to appreciate these pictures. They're so bad, us regular folk will get them as well. Enjoy!

Me and my husband's second apartment was like this. As soon as you walked out of the bedroom you walked straight down the stairs, the big problem was that our previous apartment you walked straight out of the bedroom toward the bathroom. During the first few weeks there were a few middle of the night tumbles down the stairs trying to head to the bathroom while still half asleep.
My friend lived in a house who's upstairs was like this when he was a kid.
Hi, I'd like to have a word with you about your childproofing...
And... if the landing went all the way across, that first step would be a doozy! 😳
You'll find lot's of houses like this in England, especially in the North.
Tis is not new.. takes a few practice twists.. the cats love it..
Maybe a large house that was refitted as a duplex... they just built a wall across the original landing, put in new doorways, & presto! You can charge rent twice!
I believe that this is referred to as "An accident waiting to happen".
I've seen this picture so many times - and it still makes me very uncomfortable
Lots of old houses in England are like that. They were never designed by an architect just built by developers.
This is a lot of small terraced houses in the UK.
Guarantees you a revolving list of tenants. May find a keeper then you fix the floor.
Looks like some of my minecraft houses when I can't build the stairs properly for the second floor :)
Ha! I can jump across the staircase from one bedroom to the other in my old terraced house. In five years I've only fallen once

This is common in British houses built about 100 years ago. You get used to it pretty quickly.
Complete with ghost of the first victim to fail to navigate these steps!
Oh, God - the 70s. You can bet this combo also came in purple, brown and "harvest gold"

No... there are countries with little in the way of building codes and few people to enforce what codes do exist.
