Windows: they’re pretty pointless if you can’t see out of them. Try telling that to the owners of this house, who figured building a window behind the chimney flue wasn’t at all counter-intuitive. We suppose the dream of an attic with a picturesque view got put on the back burner as the chimney was prioritized. Sigh.
What we’re wondering now is, how many other renovation disasters are lurking, in the depths of the house, behind this view-less window? The only other explanation we have is that the room was renovated at a later stage; however, that still brings us to ask – why wasn’t the window blocked off?

No pain, no brain. That is all we have to say about this next design failure. It seems to win them all. We are doing our best to see if this is an optical illusion; however, the more we try, the more we acknowledge the fact that some human is responsible for this. All that is missing is a small ramp to make this perfect.
This is for all those times all you wanted was a bit of peace and quiet sprinkled with a touch of flooding. The next question is, how do we solve this? Do we break this apart and crest a new and proper one? Or do we just level out the floor by placing a few bricks?
Dysfunctional Balcony
At first look, these balconies look pretty sweet, right? A perfect spot to relax and enjoy the fresh air. But then you realize the disaster that hides here. They could be just emergency exits; they could be just a teaser for those who can't afford an apartment with a balcony; either way, this is wrong.
As it turns out, these are not real balconies. They were put there to deceive the eye. The council wanted to do something to make these buildings look better and decided to add these concrete boxes, just to freshen things up.
Stairs, Please
Okay, so there is nothing wrong with installing a door several feet above the ground. People do it all the time. They just usually remember to include a staircase, you know, so you can actually use the door. Is this an epic prank pulled on the unsuspecting tenants of room 70?
If so, we hope they were out when the prank was enacted because if they’re inside and decide to head out before having their first cup of coffee for the day, they might not notice the missing staircase in time!
Wrong Measurements
It’s nice to have drawers for storing items like dishes and silverware. It’s also super nice if you can actually open said drawers. It’s pretty clear that the contractor did not get the exact measurements for this kitchen cabinet installment. Either that or this is the worst attempt at child-proofing ever!
Sure, the kids can’t get into the knives and scissors… but neither can anyone else! This could have been easily turned into a narrow wine draw, a sliding rack for spices and other bottles, but no. the constructor preferred taking a short way. Jut leaving it as it is.
