I hate everything about this house and this picture.

Starting with why the fuck would have a driveway that big for a house that size? You’d expect it on a house 5x that size.

Oh that building ? That's just the toilet

That's just how the AI designed the image.

It looks like a "prison" for the ultra-wealthy.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

It's not even a very big house. It looks maybe 40' or so wide and somewhat less deep, so I'm guessing it's maybe 3000 sq. ft. total. I would almost hesitate to even bestow the status of 'McMansion' on it.

I hate columns like that. Everything else is kind of a (bad) choice, but those columns are just objectively wrong because masonry doesn't work like that.

I like that the lions don't quite fit on the gateposts.

I assume they’re wood inside.

But I completely agree how awful it looks.

I'm sure they are. They have to be, unless they're steel inside instead (which is unlikely), because you can't make real stacked-stone masonry that skinny and have it be stable.

And that's my problem with it: it's fraudulent. Not even in an intentional "flouting the rules to make a modernist point" kind of way either; just out of ignorant and lazy design.

I wonder if this is a contractors house. A lot of stuff just made out of whatever extra materials they have lying around. Almost looks like it was supposed to be a cul de sac but whatever deal fell through and only a single house got built.

what is this, my first minecraft house?

That's the best doghouse for the mansion's guard dogs.
