#2 the castle looks so happy!

#6 looks like every Sim house I ever made.
reverendbonobo
I have a sudden strange urge to play The Sims and really suck at it.

You spelled awesome wrong
MyBigMouth
Why are none of these houses on Ramsay Street in the Erinsburgh suburb of Melbourne?
iusedtodream
#15 is dope.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
This is the one I liked too. I could do without that angle jutting out in the middle, but the curved fronts are great.
IsItawKWard
Doesn’t matter, can’t afford any of them.

#20 put a clock up there, get a Delorean, and baby, you got a time travel goin’
nycterelis
Most of these aren't ugly but absolutely amazing

#3 That is one mighty boosh

Some of these are quite interesting. Others, I agree...need help.
TheRocketFiend
Man, I absolutely love the bizarro-angled houses.
IllegalDuckling
I enjoy the wine glass and ancient Roman pantheon temple houses tho. I respect whatever alcoholic was determined enough to make those happen

#6 classic McMansion
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I kind of like #1.
RaspberryPeriod
#6 I thought this was from the Sims 3
spacestationnumberfive
Man, everybody knows that roof's a landing pad for alien ships.

I can't afford to live where I am so these all look great to me. "Move." Can't. that costs too much too.
lavendergirl
#8 TIL I apparently continue to have horrible taste. Don't care, this is cool.
Devestator8888
Wtf its awesome!
98oktan
#13 80s style! Kinda nice.
jamadrien
Same. Nothing wrong with that

Looks like one big bathroom

You don't have planning committees in Melbourne?
IrrationalNumber
I believe this post answers that question.
Purpl3y3s
In Aus you get planning permision from the local gov by submitting paperwork & blueprints. Its mostly building code stuff not astethic rules
Purpl3y3s
Negihbours get a copy of the applications & time to commment but on the grounds of saftey, size or impacting your light or space not looks
Strangedays2024
Title is lying, they're good houses bront.
SayIAmYou
Hardly in keeping with the village's rustic aesthetic

#12 I swear this is in Williamstown - the house stands out in my mind, without the excessive Xmas stuff
KoalaPommy
It is that house.

#4 WOG fucking castle...my Greek buddy would be so proud to live there! @OP
Lulabel73
I believe that’s in rosebud or rye.

davefleming19903
OP seems like they don't like Greek architecture all that much
GodsFoot
They could have added a bit of actual color to it
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
I am no musicians but I think #8 is pretty damn cool!
throwaway12345432
Yeah I generally don't like music and even I think that one looks great.
anActualHumanPerson
I think it's a solid design for a studio or music school but wouldn't really want to live in it
InDubiousBattle
Agreed. I was thinking it would make an excellent place for a museum.
ICommentToMakePeopleSmile
#1 Is my spirit home
Gayforbae
davefleming19903
It looks more like a winery than a house, same concept for #8 it looks like a music building at a college
NakedGalaxy
Yeah the wine glass patio probably looks amazing at sunset. Area to the right of the "glass" is the ugly part to me.
q2grapple
It should be a hot tub
ImSorryImgurImNotAPerfectSpellerPleaseDontHateMeForever
Came here to say the same lol If it's not the house isn't worth it.
ImaginaryWhiteCat
It's a winery here in the northeastern part of Italy

LrrrRulerofThePlanetOmicronPerseiVIII
“Ugly houses in Melbourne” says @OP. Very first example is a winery in Italy
PsistormIkura
Some of these are dumb, some of these are quirky and neat, and then there is the mcmansions, lol
TeamSpicyTacos
Oops! All roof!
arcadia2000
Right? #6 is just awful and hurts my soul a little.
spiritussancto
no windows. only ROOF
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Looks like when someone doesn't know how to make roofs on The Sims.
UglyTitties
Abomimansions
Laurpud
Ooo- I LIKE that term!
Mohareb
Eh. Some of these are fine imo. The cool thing about your own place is that it's just you that have to like it. Fuck the rest
redstaterefugee
That music one is kind of awesome.
andrewcmoffitt0
Some unique, some kinda quirky cool... but I'd like to live in the mario castle house
Eleshar24
You do realise most of these somehow hope that onlookers will be awestruck with their beauty, right?
Gayforbae
And?
MatthewJohnsona
Unfortunately it's not true any more in lots of places. Australia just has more freedom when it comes to "planning permission".
vStonie
For real lifes too boring seeing all the same grey and brown houses all the time spicing it up makes life s little nicer. Some are fugly tho
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
I'm finally at the point in my life where if it's not hurting anybody, I say do what makes you happy
IrrationalNumber
Depends. Many places have HOAs or municipal permits.
KevynDietz
Municipal laws are one thing, but if you live somewhere with an HOA, you bought the place knowing what they can and can't do.
Mohareb
While true i'm going with the assumption that these got built with permits and then you're past that issue
SmurfEggs
Fuck HOA's
naughtyrev
Yeah, but when you want (or need) to sell it, it can become a lot more difficult.
Freemage69
I actually like the music one. It's got a clear aesthetic point, not a lot of wasted space, and is fun. And #1 is clever, at least. Some1/x
Freemage69
are just very handy warning signs that the owner has more money than they need (looking at you, absurdly over-packed Greek plaza). 2/2
EntropyReign
Agreed, I know it's contradictory but I feel some are 'tacky' without being 'ugly' as OP has put it. Wouldn't do one *I* own like it, but...
Neurisko
Honestly, I don't care a whole lot about the outside of my house. I care about comfort, utility, and cleanliness.
Shamorza
Get back in your cave, Steve!
lalalalsblablabal
Your neighbors care. Local urban planning authorities do too.
lalalalsblablabal
In some of these cases they actually don’t ?♂️
Findrek
My neighbor's lawn is full of 90s model trucks and a massive ice fishing house, we have a unspoken agreement to mind our business.
lalalalsblablabal
I had air conditioner installed on my balcony. They said I can’t do that without permission on shared walls. There is going to be a vote.
Findrek
That sucks. I've lived in similar places, it's part of why I moved rural and refuse to buy in HOAs. People are the worst neighbors.
