This fine Hamptons home has been chopped down to $4 million-down from $5.5 mil last week! It has only been sitting on the market for a year, and OMG, it is like Pee-Wee Herman threw up Play-Doh everywhere inside Barbie's Dream House.

What's greener than repurposing dodgeball as hallway?
Those photographs gave me a seizure.
Power outlets! Askew!
At last, you too can live in a poorly-rendered CAD drawing.
It does seem like the resolution is off. Check the raster...
The architects, Arakawa + Gins, lost their life savings by investing with Madoff. Also, they believe that their buildings can "counteract the usual human destiny of having to die." Which would make that monstrosity a bargain, even with things being the way they are.

This house screams Ecstasy and DJ Tiesto.
I dunno. I can see someone in that condition taking a shortcut into the kitchen over the stove top - hopefully no one is cooking!
That or someone using the sink for a urinal.
Clearly the house isn't OSHA or ADA compliant.
This is where Julia Allison would live if she were a replicant.
...assuming she's not.
She does have way more chops than Sean Young.
"The stripper poles stay!!!".
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
Answering the question that's been rattling around my head for weeks: What if Trig Palin grew up to become an architect?
Really? Teasing a baby with down syndrome seems a bit too much.
Because the baby's a big reader of this site?
At least Wookie didn't allude to sex between Trig and A-Rod.
Well, his mother can see other houses from her house, so he's already off to a roaring start.
Not funny or witty at all. And also heinous.
And also sexist? Just a little bit? I know you want it to be.
Take away the violently popish colors and the bran colored flooring and you have an interesting -- although not fully realized concept: Utilitarian areas surrounded by free flowing almost anarchic space is very interesting--and may be very comfortable to live in once we pry ourselves away from our committment to walls and corners and doors and ledges and other architeckty features.
Nobody takes corners away from Baby.
I agree with you. I like the general concept, just not the execution.
Even more alarming than the existence of the architects is imagining the future (and prior) tenants: "wacky" rich folks who think it might be "kind of a kick" to LIVE there.
If there is such a thing as pre-hate, I am doing it now.
This is where David Cronenberg would kill off Seth Brundle. Uh, again. If, you know, he wasn't already dead. Reportedly.
I think it could be rebuilt into something pretty good, but it would take a lot of work, leveling the floors and de-Teletubbying it from top to bottom, for starters.
Yes, but where do you find good a de-Teletubbyist?
The Yellow Pages?
Look under Demolition.
Behind the Green Door... of Xanadu.
boner killer
meh. I've hallucinated better.
Who mows it?
This is one case where Madoff taking away money from someone actually mitigates his crime.
Ruthie should be made to live here.
I prefer my floors without the goosebumps. But I'm sure there are some floor-goosebump lovers out there who would just love it.
I loved Goosbumps.

what Sothebys and Curbed both don't show is that there's a generic, Way North Of The Highway rambler attached to this thing. Something's gotta be a teardown, which means on a sf basis, it's even more overpriced than it already seems.
Also, there are no doors, which means the back-to-back toilet/bidet are completely visible from the kitchen, dining, and living area.
The stripper poles are winners, though.
On second thought, this is perfect for my mother so I never have to go over and help her move furniture ever again ever.
Furniture? I think you would look wierd wearing clothes there. That looks like dongville to me.
That lumpy sandstone floor material looks like it would grind your junk right off if you fell on it. Yikes.
Welcome! Come in. Careful. Don't trip and bump your head.
This is actually the control center for the Nodong missle.
I'm pretty sure that I made this diorama for the 8th grade science fair and got a mere C.
It would be wicked for parties.
...the bathroom is 32 bumps to your right.
Haaaa
You can have a three second start for the vulva chamber and then I'm coining after you... GO!
coming- so high... gnight.
This house was in the Times last year. I guess it's okay if you're out of your fucking mind but for an immortality-inducing domus give me a Great Pyramid anyday.
I like to think there's a lid for this pot because my mother's been telling me that for years!
hahahahahaha...hahahahahaha...hahahahaha! Stupendously ugly.
That may be the most you could pay for ugly
