I approve.

Chiomara

Best cabins to get murdered in scored on a scale of 1-10:


9/10. Unnerving. Makes me think of a dental office in the underworld. David Lynch lives here.


A good traditional folk tale style murder spot. 9/10.


10/10. Inexplicably unsettling. If I saw this building in a dream I would run as far away as possible.


3/10. Boring. Looks like an abandoned forest condo that Gwenyth Paltrow might have rented when harvesting quail eggs for her $18,000 elixir of youth supplements or whatever it is she does.

I don't find this one creepy at all. It's adorable! I seriously, no joke, want to live in a building like that.

Chiomara

It's located in the Bosnian woods.
"A magical cabin converted from a watermill by a Serbian painter whose father owned and operated minimills along this Bosnian river.”

Can't find a picture of the inside :c

Also there's an official cabin porn website apparently: Cabin Porn


No you're right, it is adorable; I would kill to be able to live there. I can't think of a more ideal Chio dwelling.

^ These are beautiful pictures of two beautiful buildings. The mosque is just fabulous, isn't it?

Of Chiomara's cabins, I really like the third one - the minimalist black one with corrugated cladding and steep roofs, but this one is nice too:-

^ This must be your Scandanavian roots calling out to you, MicShazam, because it looks so much like these "stave churches", from the earliest days of Christianity in Norway:-

I don't know about that, since we don't have churches like that in Denmark, but they do look amazing! Our churches, on average, look like this:



The white walls, red tiled roof and stairstep gables on the tower are very typical. Quite a boring design, especially compared to the Norwegian churches above. At least they don't burn as easy.

I love the second one. I wanna see the inside. Do you know where it is? If I could live in a place like that and have internet, I'd be set for life.

As for the rating system.. I think the first one is by far the creepiest. I could easily imagine a dead body and blood everywhere in that first image. It's really just asking to be the opening crime scene of some "artistic" psycho on Criminal Minds or something. That, or someone just hanging from the center light fixture(?).

oooh! "stairstep gables"! This is impressive vocabulary, MicShazam

It looks to me like a really nice church, but you're right, it's relatively simple and un-adorned, and as with all designs, if you see too many similar ones, too often, they become boring.

(Also your photo makes the church look particularly good; the sky has a darker tone than the building, which is always the best lighting arrangement for a bit of building porn.)

I had to to google how to translate "gavl", which is the end walls up near the roof. I'm not even sure gable is the right term

Danish churches looking boring is perhaps only fair to say when compared with the impressive old churches found all over other European nations. Old Danish churches were relatively utilitarian and modest in design.

Lisnaholic

No, you're absolutely correct with "stairstep gable"!

Yes, Europe has some very inspiring old churches, but while still in the far frozen north of places like Denmark, I thought I'd post this famous modern church from Reykjavik, Iceland:-
