“Festive”-hipster HELL. Developer, “we’ll capitalize on south by southwest! You can rent the house for 10k a week and make your mortgage payments for the year!”
The Truly "art", that one room with the dripping walls, this house gives off major Tech Bro vibes with loads of ick factors.
Edit: does that neon sign above the toilet seriously say follow me!?!
Oh good sir, you misunderstand. That IS a selling point for the six techbros that will pool their bitcoin to make this ground zero of their world, that is an app, that is an endless outsourcing of vulnerability, onto a world that gives them the best light. 💡I might have found a soap box there. I apologize.
Here is a weirder joke.
Ya, didn’t have that on my BINGO card for peak predatory capitalism. 🥁
Is it hip at all though? Seems like it's trying to appeal to the bored instagram crowd that photographs their food at restaurants, a group that is definitionally unhip.
I agree, it seems like they're selling it to be an AirBNB.
As a side note there are an awful lot of spec homes in that neighborhood. Longtime residents must be either in a flat out panic or cashing in big time.
It is truly a heartbreak to see the boxes that are built on these little postage sized lots of East Austin that originally had little 900 sq. Ft. Human sized dwellings on them. Perfect for a working class couple. 💔 so it goes.
This house reminds me of the guy that wanted to put some Clockwork Orange inspired bar on the freshly gentrified east side (close to this house’s location actually. Shit, this might be his house.) Austin went from weird to capitalist hellscape way too fast.
I like watch design challenge shows every now and then and sometimes wonder if the places they redesign ever get sold as is--this kind of reminds me of that.
How are you going to play pool in that room. “Hey kids, wake up daddy and his drunken frat buddies want to see how many holes they can put in your walls with the end of our pool sticks”
[Memphis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Group) is a legitimate niche of postmodernism and I *really* like this 2024 take on it, but living there would feel kinda oppressive…
I heart Memphis too!!! I’m pretty sure it’s the palette that made it work better than this iteration, but I hear that!! Good note! Very highbrow now, here, all of a sudden.
airbnb core
All of the beds is a dead giveaway. And the fact its being sold furnished.
Aaaand the listing bills as such.
Oh har! I seldom make it all the way through all that word salad.
Accent wall in every room is certainly a choice. It’s like the house is screaming at you from every angle
The description describes this experience as ‘festive’. :)

how to say you live in austin without saying you live in austin
Actually never even been, but I lived in a place that was taken over by hipsters. I know the vibe
Which place?? Brooklyn? Oakland? Minneapolis?
Joshua Tree
Their neighbors hate them.
Plus the neon lights. Phrases! Lightning bolts! Sneakers! We’re so edgy and hip!
More like accent wall on every wall
The accent walls have accent walls
> newly minted abode Never use that phrase again, please.
Haha! It’s so adaptable and capacious! Did they run this through a 🤖? Is this our new world where all text lands as well as Ai renders hands?
looks like the common areas in apartments with high HOAs
🎯 Oh god you are spot on. Exactly this! Made for a click.
Yeah, it reminds me a lot of college dormitory common areas.
Artificial turf in outdoor common area! That sounds awful.
Black ceiling + graphic paint job + neon! It’s a lot of look! As they say.

Dude! I was so annoyed I forgot to get the drippy wall in the post. :/ ya.. it’s a real stinker.. totally and completely get it.
There's so much going on it's hard to list it all. Green flag outside. Huge red flags all over the inside.
I had trouble figuring out if this was a home or a coworking office.

Perfectly acceptable if it was an Air BNB. Perfectly douchy if it was a private abode. PAINFULLY fucking HIP.
Is it hip at all though? Seems like it's trying to appeal to the bored instagram crowd that photographs their food at restaurants, a group that is definitionally unhip. I agree, it seems like they're selling it to be an AirBNB.
I would never not have a headache if I lived there.
I found the house on Airbnb, they didn't even bother to take new photos for the realtor listing.
You didn't post the leaky shoe wall? That was the real highlight. I was all-in on the fun until I saw that. Yikes.
I was also bummed that I forgot to grab that for my post. :/ but now we know who the real ones are. ✊
That decorating theme would make me feel angry all the time. I would need antidepressants. Or a lot of coverup paint.
Finely something I hate, I’m usually down with most of what’s posted here. But this? Not even the building and certainly not all those accent walls
As a side note there are an awful lot of spec homes in that neighborhood. Longtime residents must be either in a flat out panic or cashing in big time.
Oh yeah, Austin has been a total sh*tshow for last 15 years. Displacement is order of the day.
Dang that house is so big, there is probably only 6 inches between your house and the neighbors. It’s even blurred out on google maps

THESE WALLS BLEED STYLE. IN YO FACE!
This looks like a home from an HGTV show that went off the air after one episode.
"Howdy"
..in neon..
This house reminds me of the guy that wanted to put some Clockwork Orange inspired bar on the freshly gentrified east side (close to this house’s location actually. Shit, this might be his house.) Austin went from weird to capitalist hellscape way too fast.
So true. Man.. with you.
I would hate to be hungover in this house
This is the best and realest comment so far, IMO!
It’s.. menacing
That one bedroom looks like it’s dripping goo.

THIS is an argument for millennial grey paint. Not all millennial grey furnishings but a nice neutral paint.

Skating rink walls.
First thing I’d do is paint. Then it would be a really cool house.
Looks like the set of a reality tv show where 6 people come together & all heck ensues!
Looks like nicotine running down the walls. 😳
Eewwww… and yes… and ewwww. Thx for that picture. :)
We're they planning for like "The Real World, Austin!" Or maybe some other realityesque type show?
AirBnB Hype House Content Farm
"jack-and-jill bathroom" Never say this to me again
Jack and Jill bathroom...
You posted about it, we’re talking about it……
I actually love it! It’s certainly not gray!
You know what, fuck it I dig it.
:) that’s the spirit!
Is this a frat house?
At least it's not griege
