    Fell in love with a house


    That I saw in Flanders, brut architecture and cool garden. I can’t stop thinking about it, I want one for myself like this. I know it isn’t to everyone’s taste though.

    If the owner sees it, just to let you know that I am ready for a visit, I wanna know which architecture you took and I want your plans (all this with a sense of humor and respect).

      I hope that house is cheap af to build because if not see any other reason to make something so boring and uniform.

      This is exactly what is fucking up our whole country. Every town has multiple, so ugly and zero character.

      That is the most basic “modern” block house you can find just about “13 in a dozen” all over Flanders. It’s more than likely just a “sleutel-op-de-deur” house from a big building firm. Any decent architect can make you a better plan than however this one is built.

      I don’t mind the house, it’s also very efficient to have a blocky house from an energy point of view, but “cool garden”? It’s literally just a small grass square with ugly fences all around.

      Ragebait right ?

      My dads house is in a traditional Walloon village with stone bricks, and they built a goddamn white cube right next to it. It’s an absolute eyesore…

      If they want to build their horror ok, go make a whole village of these dystopian cubes in one place, don’t ruin everyone else’s villages. And I’m far from a NIMBY or a conservative. I don’t mind new houses or even apartment buildings. But make it visually coherent with whats around…..

      Only a Belgian guy can say ‘cool garden’ to a square patch of grass and a grey terrace surrounded by Betafence.

      I love architecture, and usually love the most hated on buildings. But this is shit, flanders is overflowing with these and it’s as if they’re in a compitition to be as uncreative as possible. These things have no soul whatsoever. This is also absolutely not brut architecture

      “I want your plants”

      What plants? All I see is a monoculture of grass. There’s not a plant in sight.

      I grew up in a khrushchyovka in a post soviet country and even that building had more character than the modern white cubes you see here in Flanders 😂😂

      This style of house can be done very well but it’s difficult to do and often turns out poorly and looking cheap. I would put this one in the latter. The “garden” is giving prison yard

      It’s still cooler than those fugly 1/100000 boomer bungalows next to it.

      I like brutalist architecture too, but the flemish normies are attached to their regurgitated, inefficient designs

    39. hidles on

      Is this sarcasm.

      This house looks like it would feature in Ugly Belgian Houses to me.

      Looks like a minecraft built brought to real life. The garden looks like a dogpen. It must feel a bit like a prisoner inside no?

    43. MysteriousQuote4665 on

      Minimalistic, grey, not too much fuss, a bit of green. I see why you like it, OP.

    45. Hingl_McCringlebery on

      It’s literally a Block. This is legit the ugliest house I have ever seen, if you can even call it a house

      Bij provinciale overheden kun je goedkoop ateliers huren als starter.

      Dit lijkt daarop.
