This bizarre home in Ostend, Belgium is a bit of a local celebrity and was designed by German architect Rudolph Josephin the 1980s. But the strange design was declared a home design fail when photos of it surfaced online in a Reddit group called 'Urban hell'.

One commentator labelled it an "insulation and cleaning nightmare", while another said it looked as if had been "designed by a cat". Yet another mused whether the architect had crumpled up the paper plan and the builders hadn't realised. One even pleaded for it to be bulldozed, which we think is a little harsh.
