In my hometown there is a littte old drugstore whose building is swallowed up by a huge departmentstore. They refused to sell their propperty so the departmentstore was build around and over them. Now the departmentstore has gone bust, while the little drugstore has been thriving since 1849.

This house certainly does not stick out like a "sore thumb"... Trees and shrubbery would be nice though, lots of pure lawn is evil.

Spectare Stair. With a sorcerer's staff, you could actually walk the path instead of going up the stairway. Someday the homeowner could be surprised by seeing someone at the end of the tunnel.
Parmeisan 3 years ago
I am now picturing one day seeing a faint, dark figure near the light. You'd be shocked at first, maybe scared, but assume that someone graffitied your beautiful stairway and move on, frustrated, maybe planning to fix it. But the next day... isn't the figure a little closer? You could have sworn it was smaller. You must be imagining things. And the next... no. It MUST be bigger. But it can't be. Maybe you take a photo of it now. The next day you know for sure. The figure is inching closer every day. What will you do? Will anyone believe you? What will happen when it reaches you? Aaaaah!

Looks to me like the illusion would not be visible if you were actually on/using the staircase. I like it.

That looks terrific head-on. I’d need to see what it looked like from the perspective of actually going up/down the stairs to know if it is as practical as it is beautiful. Once actually on the stairs the trompe-l’oile effect should be lost, in which case it would be fine. Two thumbs up! (At least they have a handrail.)

To find out more about the “What The Crazy House” project, Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind it, Robyn from Ohio. “I’m married with 2 kids and I work part time at a shoe store,” she told us. Robyn said that she has always loved to look at houses. Once, she saw a space bedroom which became her first post. “It was unbelievably wild and I thought that I see weird stuff in the houses I look at all the time.”
That’s how she came up with an idea to put them all in one place and start the page. “On a whim one day, I made Whatthecrazyhouse. I don’t even think I remember how I came up with the name! It was just a split moment decision,” the creator said and added that she started “What The House” back in February, 2019 but she really didn’t get a following until this past year.

Sure, we want the safety but then we feel bad for the burglars.
Lee Stone 3 years ago
I don't think this is as impractical as people think. The only window left exposed is rather small and uninviting to burglars. Sure, they could get in through this window with some work, but anything that adds time is *very* discouraging to thieves. By blocking the larger windows, the family can still slide out in case of fire, but thieves will likely move to the next house (or car) that doesn't have anything at all to impede them.
Signe Manat Hansen 3 years ago
That's a very good point. You can't stop burglars, but you can nudge them towards choosing another house instead of yours. Like putting a lock on your tent at a festival. Sure, thieves can just cut your tent, but they most likely won't.

Seth Kramer 3 years ago
This. It's a Bertolt Brecht quote from "The Threepenny Opera," a socialist critique of the ruthless competition that capitalist society creates where people will do anything to make money: kill, steal, sell their bodies. The sentiment is that you have to be able to feed yourself, then you can worry about the niceties of society. Of particular note is Brecht's choice of "Fressen" which is a word for eating generally used for animals, rather than "Essen" the word most often used for humans. In this sense we are mere animals until our basic need for food is met.

Went to a covid vaccination centre that had steps like this up to the first floor (very old building in the UK - tiny staircase). The staff on the ground floor just looked at my walking aids and said ‘yeah, you ain’t going up there love, lemme get the doctor down here’.

There must not have been space in this house for a toilet. Idk about you but I would not want to live in a house without a toilet. However, stairs often have “waisted space”. Rather than installing the toilet on the landing as others have done, they cut the stairs more narrow in order to access that space and installed a toilet there, accessible with a fold down stair. There is a curtain for privacy and I would hope a sink some place close. I still think it’s brilliant even if it’s aestheticly unpleasant.

I'm just too practical. How do you come to this as the answer for your basement? How would you "clean" the sand if you spill something? If your basement floods you're gonna have wet sand. How much would this cost? Who carted all that sand down there and then smoothed it out? Why?!?

It’s a bit oddly done, but possible that this has been adapted into an accessible wet room for a disabled person to use. I know a few folks who’ve had to renovate existing first floor bathrooms to allow them to bathe, and if you don’t have a lot of money for the reno you have to make do with the space you’ve got, which can make for some unusual setups.

Exposed OSB is not a great material for cabinetry.
