Maybe more like a cylon?

Neat, although the lack of pictures from the front door looking out the back windows makes me really suspicious. A house with an entry facing 2-story windows should have some magnificent views, and they don’t feature any pictures in that direction at all. My guess is there is something fishy in the back yard. Maybe the neighbors can all see straight in the house, maybe it overlooks a trash dump, maybe there is an obscene statue in the back.
Can someone in Houston visit and report back please?

Buyer: I’m hoping for a home with lots of natural light.
Realtor: Well I’m not gonna lie this place is a little on the Dark Side.

I think there’s a poorly defended thermal exhaust port back there. We’ll know more when the stolen plans are in our hands.

Just a typical McMansion warren of oversized houses on tiny plots of land. No backyard worth mentioning.
Kind of an unambitious end to the Galactic Empire.

If you want to get any sleep at night once you move in, be sure to pick up some blue-blocking glasses from the Boing Boing Store.

From streetview, It looks like an 80s brutalist bank. Wonder if people ring the door trying to find the ATM.

Looks like a bunker? Check.
Twin staircases? Check.
Blue accent lighting? Check.
This will be a psychopathic villain’s lair film location in the next Bond movie.

I’d be disappointed if the doorbell ‘ring’ wasn’t the Star Wars Imperial March.

If it’s in Houston, I imagine the backyard faces a megachurch, an Exxon Tigermart, or a strip mall. Maybe all three! Or maybe just other houses. Houston doesn’t like zoning much.

Architects actually know some useful stuff. It’s worthwhile listening to one before building a monstrosity like this.
