Some of these are quite interesting. Others, I agree...need help.

Title is lying, they're good houses bront.

#6 classic McMansion
bolobass
#2 the castle looks so happy!
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I kind of like #1.
lovallie
#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.

#3 That is one mighty boosh

#20 put a clock up there, get a Delorean, and baby, you got a time travel goin’
SayIAmYou
Hardly in keeping with the village's rustic aesthetic

Most of these aren't ugly but absolutely amazing

#6 I thought this was from the Sims 3
spacestationnumberfive
Man, everybody knows that roof's a landing pad for alien ships.

Was looking for this comment +1 :)
TheRocketFiend
Man, I absolutely love the bizarro-angled houses.

#12 I swear this is in Williamstown - the house stands out in my mind, without the excessive Xmas stuff
KoalaPommy
It is that house.
IllegalDuckling
I enjoy the wine glass and ancient Roman pantheon temple houses tho. I respect whatever alcoholic was determined enough to make those happen

Frank Lloyd Wrong
Nuonaton
I can't afford to live where I am so these all look great to me. "Move." Can't. that costs too much too.
juniejunicorn
You spelled awesome wrong
lavendergirl
#8 TIL I apparently continue to have horrible taste. Don't care, this is cool.
Devestator8888
Wtf its awesome!
IsItawKWard
Doesn’t matter, can’t afford any of them.

#4 WOG fucking castle...my Greek buddy would be so proud to live there! @OP
Lulabel73
I believe that’s in rosebud or rye.
TheMiamiVicePresident
“What style did you say your home was built in?” “Vaporwave.”
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
SirBedeveretheWise
Put some windex on it!
FlippedOut
WOG boy WOG boy WOG boy.

#13 80s style! Kinda nice.
jamadrien
Same. Nothing wrong with that
Eastermann
Looks like one big bathroom

You don't have planning committees in Melbourne?
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
IrrationalNumber
I believe this post answers that question.
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.

Ooo- I LIKE that term!

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.
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
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.
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.
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
Eleshar24
You do realise most of these somehow hope that onlookers will be awestruck with their beauty, right?
Gayforbae
And?
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
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
MatthewJohnsona
Unfortunately it's not true any more in lots of places. Australia just has more freedom when it comes to "planning permission".
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
I'm finally at the point in my life where if it's not hurting anybody, I say do what makes you happy
HamAdvocate
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...
IrrationalNumber
Depends. Many places have HOAs or municipal permits.
Mohareb
While true i'm going with the assumption that these got built with permits and then you're past that issue
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.
SmurfEggs
Fuck HOA's
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.
