The writing was on the wall: after it got voted “Switzerland’s ugliest house” by a Swiss tabloid. It got knocked down in 2016. But even in its early days it got slammed.
The caption of the historic view reads:
“We need building codes. An intruder in a previously pretty residential quarter. Had it been placed better it would have been less troubling.”
Unknown architect: Apartment Building (Pfäffikonerstrasse 40), Schindellegi, Switzerland, c. 1965, demolished in 2016

Submitted by Louise Lauritzen and Pantelis Pipergias Analytis:
This tragata (a cabin-on-stilts used to use during olive harvest — for tools, afternoon naps, etc.) stands in Kefalonia, Greece, an island in the Ionian Sea. It was designed by Hiboux architects of Athens in collaboration with Studio Genua architects of Berlin (many of them can be seen in action). Until the 1960s, when more permanent concrete structures became more popular, tragatas where very commonly encountered on the island (my great-grandpa also had one). They were often built on cypress stilts, while reeds and fern were used for the hut itself. In the modern version we cut and weaved reed that we found in a nearby creek. We used impregnated wood for the main body of the construction.
