Someone on the r thread mentioned that the window in the middle peak doesn't line up with the other windows, and now I can't unsee it. it's making me twitch.

A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design.
Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too!
We need mods!! Please please help!
Friends at c/badrealestate!
Here are the rules:
- Posts can be about ugly houses in general
- Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. -->Tags: "Thursday Design Appreciation" or "HouseTDA", "Just Ugly", "Shitpost", "Certified McMansion™", "Discussion/Debate", and "Interior" are available.
- All post subjects must be single family homes -->Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture.
- Don't post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. -->Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing.
- Direct Images Only, no links please. -->Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such.
- No Spam -->No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn't react to it. Please understand that.
- No Screenshots -->Crop your photos correctly.
- Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

I've always wondered if these were the results of "I can design my own home no problem" customers or just dog shit draft work on the business end. I've worked in some insanely bad designs and just always got a great laugh out of them
If I had to guess I would assume they have a small loft room at the very top, which is why a window got shoved up there.
It's not even right aligned. Im so pissed
Oh God the middle peak just... Stops. Why?!?! Why does it just abruptly end?!?!
Whatever is going on with the center roof is the worst part of this.
What did they do with its side? Did some one steal it? Is there some other house with 1/5th of this house on it?
Also, every window has a soul patch. It leaves me feeling like I'm at a pretentious espresso bar.
Edit: EXCEPT 3! Those are the managers.
The architect wanted to create something unique and visually interesting, but failed SO HARD. It’s ugly, the windows are misaligned, and the end result just looks like a series of mistakes.
Pretty sure I've made this house in the Sims
De-grassing it could fix a lot.
thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Imo it's not THAT bad
Sad that there’s just three small windows on the huge wall at the right
That's the side-load garage with bonus room above. All the finest McMansions have them.
never EVER put a bedroom above a garage! It's torture!!!
Call me crazy but i like it!
May I ask what you like about it? Genuinely; I don't know anything about architecture.
Me neither. I just like that its something slightly different. Looks like the owner put their own influence on the design. I'd happily live there!
The issues I see would be tolerable/fixable. The roof being asymmetrical I could live with.
This looks oddly like a suburban american church.
