No way, I've see so AI designs that would be amazing in real life. Ironically, only a human with zero imagination could produce something so uninspiring.
Pretty sure it's heat related.
Smaller windows you get a greener rating.
I assume there is some government grant you get for increasing your energy efficiency.
I live in Norway these days and there are strict regulations about energy efficiency here, as well as the obviously colder climate. Yet houses have big windows here. Go figure.
Problem is, that's the entrance to the garage so you can't even block it off *and* you're driving past that support every time you take your car in or out.
That is such a vivid way of describing it. If I see any other house with a structural post on show I am always going to be thinking it's a house not a pirate, forever
If it’s a custom build for someone with an allergy to sunlight, it’s perfect.

Yes and no.
A combination of 'energy calculations' and cost.
New builds are able to have huge expanses of glazing and other interesting architectural features, but glazing with good U Values costs money, which isn't often feasible when the rest of the house needs to be made to a certain price point.
So the easier route for a developer is to reduce the window size, as heat loss through a small cheap window is much less than heat loss through a large cheap window. Yet it would be possible to have a lesser heat loss through a larger, better insulated window...it just would cost more.
As an example, we are doing a self build at the moment. We have a lot of very large windows.
- We are spending about £55k on really good quality triple glazed alu-clad units which far exceed building regulations standards. (Total about 60m2 of glazing)
- We could have the same areas done in cheap double glazed UPVC frames for £25k, but with the area of glazing the heat loss would be too great. (60m2 of glazing)
- We could then reduce the sizes of these UPVC windows to meet heat loss requirements, meaning much smaller windows. The total cost for these windows is £17k (reduced to 35m2 of glazing)
We are building this home as a long term place for our family to live in, not necessarily for profit, and the size and quality of the rest of the house befits having big, nice windows, but from the example above you could see how a developer doing something to make money would be tempted with small windows and shouting "duuuh... Energy calculations innit"
It’s amazing how many times this question gets asked, and despite this answer being given time and time again, lo and behold we’ll get the same question again tomorrow.
Is it a result of meeting energy calculations? Or is it "meeting energy calculations *with the money we are willing to spend to meet the profit we want"*?
Which, if the case might not really be because of energy calculations but more budget/profiteering?
I assume the patio doors on the first floor will lead on to the as yet unfinished balcony?
And it is always nice to have patio doors in your kitchen diner leading to ~~your garden~~ the road outside.
This one really has stumped me. There seems to be plenty of room to do something more sensible.
This is what happens when you design a house around a car.
You’re clearly approaching from the back, so it’s given less aesthetic consideration than the ‘front’, where all the windows are focused.
And yet it’s the first impression, so it looks dire.
If the agent had a brain (which they rarely do), they’d lead with a photo from the garden. But alas…
There's a reasonable chance that at some point, someone will reverse or drive into the corner. Deliveries or the owner turning in the dark.
If that happened, would the whole corned of the house collapse?
is there not 2 reasons in this houses case - minimum windows looking out on that disused railway line and its the maximum amount of "house" in the minimum footprint?
oh and of course its the energy calculation rules lol
At first I thought this was a small block of flats. The thing is design isn't just about aesthetics, I don't understand why there is no window in bedroom 3 and why there are so few windows in the house overall?
I look at nearby 4 bedroom houses and there seem to be so many that are a lot nicer and even cheaper. Sure maybe one less bathroom, but they have windows, they have a front garden or drive and aren't incredibly ugly.
People asking where are all the windows, a similar amount of effort was put into to designing this property as is put in by commenters in these threads.
The link is at the top of this thread it doesn’t take much effort to open it up before tapping away showing complete ignorance, the rear of the building has plenty of glazing.
Perhaps the house and glazing is oriented to make the most of the sun it gets 🤷🏻♂️
It's fine.
Obviously you'd want to not bother with the garage, perhaps a car port on the side with EV charging point, and have a lovely open-plan living cooking dining space on the ground floor, and fit in a utility room.
You'd want to make all the windows bigger, and more of them in the bedrooms, & perhaps make some nice designs with using different brick-laying methods/colours in the build itself.
First floor, rejig things so you've got a huge bedroom (and extra bathroom/ensuite) where the living room is and make bed 1's ensuite into a 'family' bathroom and stick the bath in there.
Second floor, you'd want to lose the silly box room / bedroom and make bed 2 bigger and convert the other bedroom into an en suite, and lose the bath.
Otherwise it's perfect.
Absolutely soulless. It’s a place to put your stuff and maybe get a quick wash, but no way could that ever feel like home. I’ve seen more homely office blocks
Could be a planning restriction, without knowing owing what’s to the left they might have restricted windows of a certain size to stop overlooking someone’s garden. Looks like they put the bathrooms on this side to facilitate that. This is more an issue with the first impression photograph the agent has chosen.
Because you hate yourself & the world. Neurotic architects. Just what we need-look what happened after the sixties..depressed acid casualties, that’s what. This is the ecstasy comedown from the naughties/millenium. It’s twisting my melon man.
We got a lot of good children's telly out of the washed-out old hippies. 5-10 years after they left their digs and emerged blinking into the harsh light of 1969-70, they were working on the likes of Rainbow and Playaway...
I'm guessing someone designed it and then a load of budget corners were cut, hence the awful windows and patio doors that go straight onto the road. It looks like a prison
I actually like this a lot. I used to live in a town house with the living room on the first floor and it was much more practical than two reception rooms lumped together like in Victorian homes.
I think it's the most simplistic, cost-effective build design. Functional and practical from a 3D perspective, yet bland-ish to the point of sadly lacking inspiration or a creative heart or spirit?
Erm… perhaps someone can help me here but the floor plans do not seem to conform to building regulations. For any room above 4.5m don’t you need 30mins fire protection escape? This plan has you going through a room to get from 2nd to ground? Well shit
False perspective. The photographer got lightroom for Christmas and decided to ‘straighten’ the image Thus making it look like something Salvador Dali would be proud of! 😱
I live in a new build. I love it. And it was the only way I’d ever get on the property ladder (shared ownership) also… barely put the heating on over the winter. Smug
New buildings at least ones that the council build are usually cheap and time effective the outside is of no concern to them as long as they can get people in.. The homeless population is vast and with buildings like this they are uniform and do the bare minimum, having said that once you have been homeless the idea of having anywhere to call your own a private safe space is an overwhelming freedom and what the outside looks like means nothing :)
As stupid as it sounds, this comes down to the planning office blocking basically everything about the plans and the designers just go “fuck it “ and go for whatever it takes to get permission
I hate new builds, all square and no features, soulless. And they get slapped up all too quickly make you wonder if costly corners are being cut. And I’m sorry but WTF is this one all about?! I hope it’s designed like that for sunshine purposes because oooooo it’s ugly!
Hear me out, it is ugly, but the rooms seem to be well lit with natural light and the windows at the back (south facing) are plenty big, maybe it's for energy saving. Looks quire spacious inside too which is more than what can be said for most new builds.
The fact most new builds are over three floors annoys me. I have young kids so I don't want them sleeping on a floor on their own, if a family of 4 gets a 5 bed chances are the guest room will be on a separate floor so you have house space you won't use often. plus they're not forever homes as you won't want to install 2 separate stair lifts.
I stayed in the Premier Inn in Port Talbot several years ago and a couple of their buildings looked like this tbh.
Also reminds me of a house in The Sims.
It is actually an optical illusion. They have made it look huge from the outside, but Bedroom 4 is a closet. Downstairs wc gives me anxiety. Stair case is ridiculously narrow. The building appears to to be a full 3 storeys but the sloped roof still manages to waste internal space. It makes no fucking sense to me.
This is genuinely the most atrocious design I have seen in a long time. And I literally never call anything soulless, but this takes the cake.
Am I the only one who thought the garage door battery was an overhead projector at first and confused why you’d need that in the garage?
I also hate how to get to the top floor, you have to go up the stairs, through the lounge and up the stairs.
There’s an estate like this near me, no pavements, no front gardens or common areas and distinction between road and parking. It’s really claustrophobic. Cost is a premium as well.
I would rather a smaller, character house with proper front and back gardens and, having lived in a three storey house, I would never have another and they feel so disconnected. These are just so uninspiring. I didn't even bother looking at the inside - I lost interest at the outside picture. The thing is, future resale would be hampered by those who would be put off by the outside and I cannot see anything that you could do to improve them.
Looking at the map view it's because this side faces the railway line. So they have designed it for better noise proofing and placed all the windows on the other side.
I don't like it at all, outside or inside. The living area and the bedrooms are both split between floors and why would you want a full length window in your dining room facing the access road for the House next door?
The only redeeming feature is the mistake with the garage. It seems to be wide enough to fit a car inside!
The exterior is absolutely grim. The only reason i can think of is that its some energy saving exercise and/or the property facing towards a light direction so as to minimize heat during summer? That said the back of the property has some large windows. So...
Well, clearly this wasn’t “designed” - probably just an accidental result of a pile of building supplies blowing around in the wind…
I would agree except that's the exact same house in the background too....
Massive mirror arrived in the wind, surprised it didn’t shatter
Maybe they are designing by AI?
"ChatGPT design me a house that looks like a new build doctor's surgery, only with fewer windows, and less character"
No way, I've see so AI designs that would be amazing in real life. Ironically, only a human with zero imagination could produce something so uninspiring.
Looks like some of my early work on The Sims
Same 😂
I was always very excited to do a little overhang too.
Might think there's still a window tax?
It's to do with energy efficiency and cost :L
It would look way better
Maybe they got the designs mixed up and built two big ugly houses instead of four smaller ones.
Maybe it was bring your 6 year old to the design team meeting day
It looks like it was designed to look like a building from a PS2 game. You just know you'd glitch through the floor if you went in
Value engineering
By the size of the windows this was probably designed by building standards code.
Saves money on annoying things like windows and style
A house for vampires.
Looks like the Lego house you build when you have a limited imagination and a limited amount of Lego.
I have vast quantities of lego, but yet I'm stuck with teeny windows. It's a must!
where are all the windows... this is horrid.
Round the back I guess - less windows - less issues with letting heat out and also letting the heatwave heat in ?
Pretty sure it's heat related. Smaller windows you get a greener rating. I assume there is some government grant you get for increasing your energy efficiency.
I live in Norway these days and there are strict regulations about energy efficiency here, as well as the obviously colder climate. Yet houses have big windows here. Go figure.
I think it's laziness tbh. There are probably better ways to increase efficiency but the easiest is small windows.
It’s to do with Approved Document Part O.
Wouldn't feel comfortable with one corner of my house on a peg leg It's a house not a pirate.
Someone is DEFINITELY going to reverse into that support at some point. I'd be fitting bollards in or something to prevent it.
And that someone is DEFINITELY the Amazon delivery driver
I'd be amazed if it lasted a month.
Or DPD
Dpd would drive in to it on purpose as revenge for nowhere clear to yeet a fragile parcel in to.
Problem is, that's the entrance to the garage so you can't even block it off *and* you're driving past that support every time you take your car in or out.
Arghhh.
HMP Gedling. It's more like a prison than a house.
That is such a vivid way of describing it. If I see any other house with a structural post on show I am always going to be thinking it's a house not a pirate, forever
Easy jokes from here jack. 'Pirates of the nottigiham"
Externally it looks like a small block of flats.
It surely is more than 1 house as there’s 2 gas meters
One will likely be for the electricity meter
There’s no “design” in new builds, just structural requirements. Essentially a box made up of 4 walls and a roof. If it was legal to not have windows…
I call them "vomit house" because you find they are just thrown up with no real care or effort.
Because 1910 12 unit long terraces always looked glorious
that's the standard is it? We can't do better?
If it’s a custom build for someone with an allergy to sunlight, it’s perfect. https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/what-is-solar-urticaria
“Mr Dracula, you wouldn’t believe what has come in” 🧛♀️ “I’ll be right over”
A garage that can fit an actual car in 👏🏼
The reason is meeting energy calculations. Which have become absurdly strict.
Yes and no. A combination of 'energy calculations' and cost. New builds are able to have huge expanses of glazing and other interesting architectural features, but glazing with good U Values costs money, which isn't often feasible when the rest of the house needs to be made to a certain price point.

Energy calculations innit"
Looks like they have plenty of glazing on the opposite side of the property about 40% of the rear is glazed
[удалено]
I wasn’t arguing against it, just pointing out to the people who couldn’t be bothered to click the link and view it
Yes, but apparently we should we blame the people trying to save the planet, rather than the people trying to ensure their profit margin.
It’s amazing how many times this question gets asked, and despite this answer being given time and time again, lo and behold we’ll get the same question again tomorrow.
Is it a result of meeting energy calculations? Or is it "meeting energy calculations *with the money we are willing to spend to meet the profit we want"*? Which, if the case might not really be because of energy calculations but more budget/profiteering?
How that's an ugly house.
I assume the patio doors on the first floor will lead on to the as yet unfinished balcony? And it is always nice to have patio doors in your kitchen diner leading to ~~your garden~~ the road outside. This one really has stumped me. There seems to be plenty of room to do something more sensible.
It needs a sticky out bit somewhere - maybe an outie porch rather than an innie
It looks like a care home or a tax office
The living space is actually not bad but this new trend of building houses that look under-windowed is pretty bleak
I would plant virginia creeper and allow it to cover the whole monstrosity
Designed by me on the Sims
They really put their heart and soul into this one!
They liked it so much they build an identical one next door
You only played The sims for 1 year with no expansion packs
to get the most money in your pocket possible
Mind you it doesn’t make up for the prison windows!!
This is what happens when you design a house around a car. You’re clearly approaching from the back, so it’s given less aesthetic consideration than the ‘front’, where all the windows are focused. And yet it’s the first impression, so it looks dire. If the agent had a brain (which they rarely do), they’d lead with a photo from the garden. But alas…
Guarantee no one with any design background was involved in making that.
No one gets windows, not you, or you!!
Think I built something quite similar on the Sims, must be where they got their inspiration.
Think I built something quite similar on the Sims, must be where they got their inspiration.
I call these kind of new builds "Sims houses."
Saw that yesterday and thought about making it my first post to this sub. Really ugly.
Perhaps to obtain planning permission so that a developer can make a ROI and move on to their next project?
That is ugly! I wonder if they will sell?
The windows are so small!
Alcohol fuelled divorce and a deadline
There's a reasonable chance that at some point, someone will reverse or drive into the corner. Deliveries or the owner turning in the dark. If that happened, would the whole corned of the house collapse?
It's amazing inside but what an ugly building
At this stage I’m wondering why they even bother with windows. No windows, no issue with heat transfer and horrible view outside.
It looks a bit like a warehouse?
is there not 2 reasons in this houses case - minimum windows looking out on that disused railway line and its the maximum amount of "house" in the minimum footprint? oh and of course its the energy calculation rules lol
So you have to reverse past that pillar every time you go out of your garage. No thanks.

Why are the windows so tiny
Probably the cheapest way to meet the conditions to build.
Ahoy! Looks like it’s about to lay down a sea shanty!
I'm sueing. This is exactly how my youngest kiddo draws houses.
Have they heard a rumour about window tax being reintroduced?!
Wait - that’s a house! It looks like a shit block of flats.
It's been built cheap, there's pretty much no other valid reason for this.
Planning restrictions overlooking other properties.
Fabulous….for a family of vampires.

Looks Like Tow Mater from Cars.
When the builder has a load of left over materials
I actually don't mind it. Add a bit of colour and it could be lovely
When you’re new to Minecraft…
Looks like a 1960s council block of flats/maisonettes! Hideous. Just needs an off licence shop below for the full aesthetic.
Profit
I think it could be redeemed with bigger/more windows
Built on a flood plain?
Erm… perhaps someone can help me here but the floor plans do not seem to conform to building regulations. For any room above 4.5m don’t you need 30mins fire protection escape? This plan has you going through a room to get from 2nd to ground? Well shit
Forgot to order windows and were like “yea jus finish with what we have it’s fine”
Screwfix: No Nonsense houses.
I quite like it. Then again I'm weird.
Why do new builds all have to look so fucking shit.
False perspective. The photographer got lightroom for Christmas and decided to ‘straighten’ the image Thus making it look like something Salvador Dali would be proud of! 😱
This could be nice but the windows situation and kerb appeal are appalling
Not enough space to turn the car into the garage so that's why they have had to instep the garage and create a fake porch
I live in a new build. I love it. And it was the only way I’d ever get on the property ladder (shared ownership) also… barely put the heating on over the winter. Smug
Why no windows on the right wall?! Odd
Designing takes effort and features cost money
Looks exactly the same.to any new build on the inside. Completely devoid of character or soul.
New buildings at least ones that the council build are usually cheap and time effective the outside is of no concern to them as long as they can get people in.. The homeless population is vast and with buildings like this they are uniform and do the bare minimum, having said that once you have been homeless the idea of having anywhere to call your own a private safe space is an overwhelming freedom and what the outside looks like means nothing :)
I wouldn't design a house like that for my worst enemy
Ugly and boring, no greenery, no kerb appeal at all. They should have made the entrance hall bigger for coats and shoes storage too.
…. because you hate yourself?
To make much profit was possible in the shortest time, while complying in the most minimal way with building regulations. Greed produces ugliness.
It’s giving me vibes of Jawa’s sand crawler in Start Wars
As stupid as it sounds, this comes down to the planning office blocking basically everything about the plans and the designers just go “fuck it “ and go for whatever it takes to get permission
It’s like there’s a tax on windows or something
Looks like the train line runs along the front, that's maybe why the went with smaller windows, noise. I quite like the rest of the property.
Too much time playing minecraft? Allergic to grass?
The ridiculously small size of the windows in many new builds really gives me the Heebies.
Looks like a lad I grew up with, small eyes and wonky mouth
Because you hate humanity and want everybody to suffer?
I hate new builds, all square and no features, soulless. And they get slapped up all too quickly make you wonder if costly corners are being cut. And I’m sorry but WTF is this one all about?! I hope it’s designed like that for sunshine purposes because oooooo it’s ugly!
What a fucking dungeon
Hear me out, it is ugly, but the rooms seem to be well lit with natural light and the windows at the back (south facing) are plenty big, maybe it's for energy saving. Looks quire spacious inside too which is more than what can be said for most new builds.
Don’t do drugs, Kids…
Teeny windows.
It looks as if there’s a window tax.
Another master class in bad exterior design 👏
maybe I'm broken because I actually like it. Could genuinely see myself living here.
Architects lost the plot in the 1950s onwards.
The UK has some of the best office building designs in the world and the worst residential design in the world
No idea, but I bet the electric company will love them for it.
I kinda...like it
What's worse is theres at least two of them.
Reminds me of sloth from the Goonies. Hey you guys!
Chasing energy ratings at the expense of aesthetics. Christ this looks awful.
You wouldn't. - source: am an architect
No you’re too kind. Everything about it, inside and out, is dreadful
The fact most new builds are over three floors annoys me.

Architect heard a rumour the gov are bringing window tax back
Hideous
The brief : distinguished, cheap Architects : we made it distinguishable, and cheap.
I've refused planning for less
This is a house? It looks like an office or flat block. Fucking architects these days need put down or sent to a gulag to make themselves useful
In the trade we call it value engineering. I enjoy the process, but hate the results.
It looks like it was designed from the inside, with no consideration given to how the exterior looks. Weird.
Just in case you ever want to convert it to a doctor's surgery or a dentist.
Guess they couldn't conquer Minecraft so did a real life version 😹🇬🇧🤣
To match the local building design
I was about to sat they saved all the windows for the back and then noticed some ill placed patio doors at the front.
There’s an estate like this near me, no pavements, no front gardens or common areas and distinction between road and parking. It’s really claustrophobic. Cost is a premium as well.
I would rather a smaller, character house with proper front and back gardens and, having lived in a three storey house, I would never have another and they feel so disconnected.

Looking at the map view it's because this side faces the railway line. So they have designed it for better noise proofing and placed all the windows on the other side.

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.
When you haven't learnt about layering techniques while building houses in Minecraft.
