I have no idea what the designer was thinking, aside from maybe, “if we put some of a lot of things that are known to be fancy, it will look fancy…right?” WRONG. This house, which, by the way, occupies a VERY valuable plot of earth, is like a study in awkwardness and fakery, to the point where it almost seems as though that was the intent…but who would spend millions of dollars for that purpose?
Let’s look at the sides and back:
Yes, it’s even cheaper and less tasteful back there. Look at those flat windows, that senseless roofline. By comparison, the playhouse/garden shed/whatever is pretty cute. I mean, it needs an architrave or something on those columns, to start with, but cartoonishness always looks better on children’s things.

It looks like an apartment complex.
...I'm scared to hear your analysis of our house. We've done a horrible job of choosing products/colors to make the exterior attractive. Bummer.
yes, the little playhoue thing is kind of cute, compared to the other monstrosity. I would be inclined to wonder what someone was thinking if it were not so obvious that they were not, at all. is it really a single family house?
Yes. It is. And it looks even worse in person than in the pictures, because the surrounding houses are so much smaller and prettier.
Ernie, your house couldn't possibly be bad like this. You would never string on some little fake roofy things, just so that you could put a whole bunch of useless columns under them. And Mom would never draw a house with a roof like that.
