Social media users have slammed a bizarre-looking new-build home in London with six different types of ‘pick and mix’ windows at the front.
The woman who came across this strange sight was doing the Green Link Walk – a 15-mile walking and cycling route from Epping Forest to Peckham town center – earlier this week.
She stopped briefly to take a photo of the ‘nightmare’ at home, before sharing it online.
The X user (formerly Twitter), named Dee Dee May (@deedelea), wrote, “I saw this house when I was doing the #GreenLinkWalk,” alongside a shocked emoji.
The house appears to have three floors, but is strangely thin, with six windows across the front, all in different shapes and sizes.
Social media users have slammed a bizarre-looking new-build home in London with six different types of windows at the front
From two very thin and long windows on the right side of the house to a triangular window jutting out on the top floor, right in the middle of the house, the design is absolutely one of a kind.
Adding to the eerie effect is the rusting car that appears to have been taken by the overgrown, out-of-control garden.
There is also a tall black metal gate on the left side of the asymmetrical house, but there appears to be no door at the front of the house.

A second added: “Like something from a movie set,” with Dee Dee May admitting: “I had a nightmare about it last night.”
The photo was quickly shared to the X account, @plannings***, where it has already been viewed by more than 42,000 people.
Users joked: ‘pick and mix windows!’ and ‘Architect: Drugs were once involved’.
Another wrote: ‘With a view like that I’m surprised they even wanted windows!’
Social media users quickly gave their opinion on the special new construction design
Meanwhile, someone else commented: ‘Someone put a lot of effort into the roof projections/overhang – and that top (bay) window – bless’.
Another was unimpressed, joking: ‘There isn’t a single aspect of this house that isn’t an abomination.’
“I need to see the blueprints for this,” and “Think they need doors,” others urged.
Another user reasoned, “Unless it’s a huge prism, I can’t see the tip of the triangular window.”
Others joked: ‘It looks like the Harry Potter bus, right in the middle of the squeeze!’ and “Honey, I shrunk the house.”
However, some people were fans of the unique design, with one user asking: ‘Am I the only one who loves this house?’ and another who insisted: ‘That’s art, that’s it’.
The debate comes just after another new-build home was ridiculed after photos showed it had a very troublesome design flaw.
The six-bed new building, which went up in 2019, was branded ’embarrassing’ and ‘c***’ by critics, who even questioned whether it was designed by AI.
In addition to the architect’s designs, a photo of the detached house was posted on an urban planning site on X, formerly Twitter.
A recent photo shows that there is a three-foot gap between the ground and the front door, meaning residents face an uphill task getting in and out.
