Architectures like to take risks but these bizarre design decisions prove those risks don’t always pay off.

Among the biggest style faux pas are a Nigerian home featuring very strangely placed pillars.

Meanwhile, a Sydney mansion valued in excess of $2 million boasts an unusual characteristic – its exterior is painted entirely in fuchsia.

Beam me up, Scotty! This family home in California is another which has prompted mixed responses among social media users, with some saying they are ‘confounded’ by the intricate design, but others enjoying the futuristic look

Stopped in their tracks: One Twitter user couldn’t understand why there were so many materials used in building this block in Chicago

Blending materials: Can’t decide between corrugated metal, grey brick, paintwork, or stone? Why not follow this home designer’s lead, and just combine them all?
