I’m not sure if you’ve heard that there is a lot of questionable architecture in Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. But as it turns out, the Aussies don’t fair all too well either.
In fact, there is an Instagram account entirely devoted to ugly houses in Melbourne. And I’ve got to tell you there’s plenty there to look at, ha, ha!
Check this out.

The Instagram account called @uglymelbournehouse is one to follow if you want to have a laugh. It’s so popular that it now has almost 40K followers. Wow! That’s pretty good, right? So let’s find out exactly why.
This Lovely Gem
I mean, what the heck is that? This “house,” and I use that term loosely, looks more like something you would see in the projects. Am I right, or am I right? Ugh! I can’t bear the sight.
This Topsy-Turvy Feeling
Um, what am I looking at here? Is this house topsy-turvy, or are my eyes playing tricks on me? I wonder, is everything in there designed this way too? Inquiring minds need to know. What’s your guess?
This ‘Star Wars’ Character
Is it just me, or does this house remind you of the “AT AT Walker?’ Oh my goodness, yes! That’s exactly what it looks like to me. It’s cool and all, but I wouldn’t want to live there.
This Nightmare Before Christmas
I’m all for Christmas decorations. Don’t get me wrong. I’m no Grinch, okay? However, there is something called “good taste,” and this house has none of it. I wonder what these people do on actual Christmas.
This Giraffe-Approved Home
Whoa! Those are some giant pillars here, huh? I mean, how tall are the people who live there? And more specifically, do they have a petting zoo full of giraffes? That would explain the reason for this.
This Blast From The Past
This is what happens when you use the Sims 4 Mansion Baron “Purchase 20 Columns” aspiration in real life. Oh, wow! I get it now. But I need to know how to unsee this. Any ideas?
This ‘Outside of the Box’ Idea
Correct me if I’m wrong but did someone forget to get the builder a level and show him how to use it? I think that’s exactly what happened here? Unless it was on purpose, and in that case, that’s a no-no for me.
This Room With A View
Nobody likes to live in a windowless house. Am I right on that one? Sadly, whoever ends up purchasing this gem will have to settle for a lot less than they originally bargained for, eh?
This Lego Aesthetic
If you’re a huge fan of Legos, you will probably want to move in here ASAP. Otherwise, let’s just hope this is housing for kindergarten kids. Other than that, I don’t understand where they were going with this.
This — Whatever This Is
Here’s what I think happened. Whoever designed this place was going for that art deco feel. However, something went wrong in their planning, and this is the result of it. Do you agree with me? Come on!
This Shower
Oh my goodness, ha, ha! I was wondering what this home reminded me of, and now I know. If a child can get this, why can’t the owner of this place understand the absurdity of it? Aren’t you baffled, too?
This Transformer Home
If you can’t decide on the architecture of your home, then you don’t have to. This house is a perfect example of that. To me, it looks like a transformer in the middle of transforming. What do you think? Yay or nay!
This Fence Job
Sometimes a fence is a good idea. It makes you feel more secure. So what does that say about the people that live there? Are they just happy to get all the fences they can get or is the major paranoia?
This Math-Lovers’ Paradise
So apparently everybody who lives here loves maths. Yes, we get that. It’s pretty apparent from the looks of this place. Can you be more subtle next time? I don’t like when people hit me over the head with things. Thanks.
This Inviting Landscaping
OMG! If this isn’t the stuff of nightmares, I don’t know what is, ha, ha! I would consider erecting something like this for Halloween but all year round? I wonder if the people who live there have any neighbors. What do you think?
This Musical Gem
Speaking of neighbors, could you see yourself living next to this musical gem here? I don’t think so, my friend. As much as I love music, this would be frightening to me. Do they actually play these instruments? I hope not.
This Animal House
I know that animal print is always big in fashion. However, I didn’t realize you can apply that reasoning to house architecture too. On second thought, don’t do that, please. See how well it turned out here?
What did I tell you?
There’s plenty to marvel at here. Am I right? Who knew that Melbourne had such an eclectic taste, hee-hee? I definitely had no idea but this. And now that I do, perhaps a visit is in the cards one day.
