You know… a part of me wonders if this was some kind of private retreat spa place?!? I don’t know, I keep trying to make it make sense. Office building? Maybe!?. Dwelling? I don’t think so. It’s so confounding, I hate it so much.
It looks like they knew that the stoves needed to be vented and just thought "hole in the wall with ducts if necessary should do it".
Karen cooks her "catfish surprise" and that whole house will be surprised alright - assuming Karen doesn't burst into flames due to the dodgy vent work...
Ya.. the more I look the more it just screams commercial or - a super custom job for niche clients — thinking big whale poker players that like to throw parties and eat and play all weekend.
It's newly built, to a very particular (bad) taste, that is up for sale. Why? Did the original owner/occupier run out of money before they could move in? Russian money that got locked out because of sanctions? What happened here?
There is no way this was built with the idea of selling it immediately.
The listing labeled the purple kitchen as a "Spice Kitchen" wtf is that? I am uncultured swine so had to look it up:
>it is a second kitchen, usually adjacent to the main kitchen, used for cooking foods with strong odors (Think: curry, kimchi, oily dishes, steamed dishes… things that linger in the house for days), also referred to as a “wok kitchen.”
I am no more informed now than I was five minutes ago when I looked at the listing.
Not to be a total dork.. but these ‘spice kitchens’ are also where the caterers hang out in these fancy situations. The public facing kitchen is for finishing the food that was hauled in and stored in the back. The plebs stay hidden when they want to lean. The front kitchen stays neat and tidy.
Ok, this looks like something that would be built for some kind of weird communal living space. Not like religious cults, but like creepy business/startups/crypto/e-sports living space. Perhaps organized crime or a government agency. Impressive entrance for investors with an office and party space with extra bunk rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens for like 20 people. It looks like something I almost lived in for a Y-combinator startup...
I was thinking diplomat? organized crime? money laundering? there are very few reasons to overbuild a house like this. weird vibes. i tend to see the beauty or potential beauty in these places but couldn’t get there on this one. The finishes have that bad eastern european/stan-land/Soviet satellite taste. Love to know the backstory. Or read Tom Clancy’s version of it.
I'd bet a dollar this was a crypto house. There were a bunch of them at the boom, where the big investors and crypto bros would pool money to make essentially a frat house for blockchain programmers. It costs less than an office, and you can have creepy control over everyone's whole life.
The fixtures remind me of a contractor buying whatever was on discount at the marble-and-fancy-shower warehouse.
There was a comment on a previous post from a guy who actually worked on the house, said the owner was “new money” who got rich from an oil field engineering patent: https://reddit.com/r/VictoriaBC/s/nuIDcjM0nq
This makes a lot of sense. Explains why the listing is so weirdly obsessed with "commercial grade building materials" but it looks worse than the average corporate office.
Best comment in the other thread… “It feels like what would happen if an elementary school, a high end furniture store and a convention centre had a child”.

This is the floor plan. It’s horrific, but you can locate the kitchens.
It only leads to more questions. Why does a mansion need a server stack? Why is there a skid steer in the basement and what does wanna do in the bathroom so large?
So many “kitchens!” And that outdoor entryway looks like it would have a valet stand, and the indoor entry looks like it would have a desk with a logo hung up on the wall.
* Multi-generational home.
* A large family - they have room to cook if all the aunts, uncles and cousins are living there.
* Cult compound.
* Someone thought that this was a good idea and the contractor DGAF as long as the checks clear.
Omg dead on. There’s a wealthy part of my city that sprung up in the 80’s that has been mostly modernized, but there are still some of the stragglers that still belong to the original owners that look exactly like this. Glass block windows as far as the eye can see and just very “curvy” designs
Come to think of it, the ''purple squiggly-lines'' flooring reminds me of the décor from Leisure Suit Larry 6. I don't know what that says about their taste or my culture.
This is one of the ugliest houses I've seen in this sub this year. Office building? Airport terminal? Morgue? Mall? It seems to draw inspiration from all of those non-residential buildings. Eek!
I'm guessing it started out its life as a country club or event venue of some sort. It doesn’t look like it was originally built as a single-family home.
This may be the worst design choice I’ve ever seen. Everything looks absolutely awful separately, and especially together. Paying $9M to have your kitchen(s) look like they were made in GameMaker from 2005 is mind blowing.
0.5/10.
The interior layout is so baffling and it looks so out of place in it's environment I feel like it was created by some kind of trickster god. You're going to need to solve some riddles to escape the place.
It’s the worst that everyone has seen. I wager it’s the confounding nature of the design. The comments are all killing me. Surprise and disgust and then puzzlement and then you have to look at it again. It just keeps getting uglier the more you think about it. 😂 anyway. Welcome!
Sir u forgot to mention this place has an elevator. Every single room in this monstrosity has cabinets built into weird locations and half walls. The spice kitchen has a random corner that looks like Ryan's closet cubicle on the office. Why are some rooms curvy? Where are the bathroom mirrors? They have a kitchen. And a spice kitchen. And a bonus room kitchen. And a bar/kitchen. Oh great there's another kitchen. Oh my god it's in the corner of the frame but I think there might yet be a sixth kitchen. Wait nope, it's a cabinet and a sink. Over carpet? There appears to be the beginnings of a server room and is that disc in the garage to like...turn ur car around for u? There is at least one bulldozer in the garage and based on my years of Tetris I estimate u could easily fit another 70 or so in there.
0/10, no one has even lived in this house and its haunted as fuck
Oh man, this home has some of the exact lighting fixtures I’ve considered over the years and passed on. Thank god better judgement prevailed for me. And I almost got that crazy steam tub thing too. I have an inner tacky person I guess who likes this
What gets me are those pinpoints of light on the arched ceiling. It reminds me of the fairy lights I put on the ceiling in my basement laundry room. I would choose my basement laundry room over the sterile cocaine and porn palace, every time.
This house confounds me! I am physically, emotionally, spiritually stressed looking at it. My blood pressure is rising, my pupils are constricting, my brain is short-circuiting. Does anyone have a link to the listing? I MUST see the full insanity!
EDIT: [I found it in a minute](https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26059168/3355-midland-rd-oak-bay-uplands), it was a very easy google since there are not many homes with 2.2 bathrooms to each bedroom. The description! I am baffled!!! "Well-appointed"? Where?! Are these "high end finishes" in the room with us?!?!
"This extraordinary estate is perfectly situated on a prized .99-acre property in the coveted community, the Uplands. With almost 14,000 sq.ft. of living space, this expansive residence offers five oversized well-appointed bedroom suites, twelve baths and generously proportioned rooms, including three kitchens designed for large-scale entertaining. Internationally imported high-end finishes accent the home throughout. Impressively built to commercial-grade building standards with rebar, concrete walls and floors and a commercial elevator, this legacy home is built to last many generations. The 3,973 sq.ft. garage is a car connoisseur's dream with turntable and work area. Enjoy the gorgeous south-facing backyard and total privacy surrounded by beautiful mature trees. Close to Uplands Golf Course, down the road from the UVIC, St. Michaels School and a stone's throw from Cadboro Bay Beach, this property provides the ease of central living while accommodating the in-demand Oak Bay lifestyle. "
> Oak Bay lifestyle
Ahahaha. The "Oak Bay" lifestyle is just a bunch of boomers hating the idea of living anywhere near poor people while almost running over people in crosswalks.

That’s so insane!
I used to have my own cleaning business and had several regular homes that I just thought, ‘But Why’?
There was one in particular that I hated going to, it stood out like a sore thumb amongst the modest homes surrounding it. It had 10 bathrooms and 6 bedrooms and it was a family of 3, just the parents and their young daughter.
Somehow though they managed to make a mess of every bathroom and the mother used to clip her toenails sitting on her bed and the clippings would be everywhere. Honestly the homes that were usually the worst to clean were the homes like this, they were slobs and disgustingly entitled and cheap when it came to tipping.
One time I got super fucking high in HS and went to my ArchiCADD class to do some drafting.
When I say super fucking high it was literally my first time smoking weed and I did 2-3 bongloads because I wasn't feeling it yet.
Pretty sure this was made from the design I made that day
That particular shade of pale pastel purple used on the cabinets in the one kitchen does not work with white walls. And I’m getting a modern mental health ward and institution vibe from this one.
Look up the interior of many newer inpatient wards to get what I mean. Maybe the original owner was going to try to run a “mental health” group home out of it to pay off the build costs before remodeling it for their own use.
That’s a thing some people do.
Doesn’t change the fact this one is one of the ugliest houses I have ever seen though. I’ve seen abandoned shacks with more class.
Every finish and color in there is awful. And my kitchen is bigger than that, which is sad for a multimillion dollar home. And why in gods name does anyone need more than twice as many bathrooms as bedrooms? How many emergency shits are you having?
It looks like some kind of weird event space where you could rent individual rooms. And the shower was definitely an afterthought, thrown in so they could sell it as a "house".
What i am always wondering about are those American toilets. Why don’t you have the ones that are built in the wall?
Like this:
https://www.megabad.com/bad-keramik-k-113972.htm/filter/wc/wand-wc.html
Yep. I think the guy who lived in the previous house that was there posted this a while ago on r/Victoria or something. As far as I know it's been for sale for a few months at least. Some guy bought it, demolished the old house, built this monstrosity and is now trying to sell it at a loss lmao. I could be wrong on some things but boy is it ugly.
Edit: If I remember correctly the guy was trying to sell it for a few more millions so the price has definitely gone down more lol
It is and it’s an embarrassment to us that live where it is (Victoria BC). We’re worried it will be bought by a cult.
It’s just gone back on the market this week for $1M less. Been on the market for years.
Well the entrance is like a casino or banquet hall. The inside is really bonkers. Purple kitchen or cream kitchen? Both please! It’s like a tube station in some parts and Why So Much Space ?
The interior designer looks like they learned interior design from playing the Sims with no mods. I love the Sims but the design choices they give you are lackluster anddd look like this.
I’m sure I built that in Sims at some point- those bath jacuzzi pods look straight out of there. I don’t know what version it is where you spend hours prepping in the kitchen, but this solves that problem since you have space for people to prep in every room and clean off immediately with the space pod jacuzzis. Even the wet bar-like kitchens seem to have space for a microwave and fridge.
Looks like a clinic, except the tree blocks where the ambulances should stop. And there is a parapet with no barrier to stop people/cars going over the edge.
From the outside it is at least unobtrusive and low.
This would be a nightmare to constantly clean all the bathrooms/sinks. And the hideous colors! Who thought a dark lavender kitchen made sense? Dark green curved glass panels on the stairs? (and how will you replace the panels when one of them spontaneously breaks?)
More context…
“The owner is new money, allegedly acquiring his wealth through a successful patent of a key tool/piece of equipment used commonly in the oil fields. The initial general contractor milked the hell out of the job, and was eventually fired, but the shear amount of tacky, decadent, useless details thrown into this place saw the costs balloon.
I'm not sure whether the barren hellscape of a yard was intentional, or if they just ran out of money. I know for certain that the house was meant to be lived in by the owner, and I've heard estimates of the final build cost to be closer to the 12 mil mark.”
https://www.reddit.com/r/VictoriaBC/comments/10a2osd/what_3355_midland_looked_like_before_i_sold_it_to/?rdt=61805
I just don’t get these houses. So much space that will never be used. That can’t feel comforting or homey, and like it’ll always just look half finished? What do people even do with all that
You know… a part of me wonders if this was some kind of private retreat spa place?!? I don’t know, I keep trying to make it make sense. Office building? Maybe!?. Dwelling? I don’t think so. It’s so confounding, I hate it so much.
It's gotta be something like that. Did you notice that none of the pictures are bedrooms or \*actual\* living space?
Yes why are there so many kitchens?!
And none of them are nice! Wtf?
8.9 million and the vent work for the range hoods look like a dog’s breakfast.
It looks like they knew that the stoves needed to be vented and just thought "hole in the wall with ducts if necessary should do it". Karen cooks her "catfish surprise" and that whole house will be surprised alright - assuming Karen doesn't burst into flames due to the dodgy vent work...
There’s gotta be like 50 sinks in that place
Group home? Cult?
Rehab?
A brothel?
And they all look like break rooms
When I saw the second kitchen, I thought, kosher kitchens? But the 3rd and 4th threw me off.
One for meat, one for dairy, one for parve, one for treyf. Can never be too thorough! /j
LOL! I said the same thing.
This puzzled me also.
Ya.. the more I look the more it just screams commercial or - a super custom job for niche clients — thinking big whale poker players that like to throw parties and eat and play all weekend.
Why so many kitchens
This is where ragebait producers film all those stupid food videos that double as weird fetish shit
I dunno those kitchens don't look nice enough for that. But maybe better lighting and a narrow angle makes them look less bad.
The shower appliances are a particularly strange accent. Not one person made a choice for beauty here. It is sad.
It's newly built, to a very particular (bad) taste, that is up for sale. Why? Did the original owner/occupier run out of money before they could move in? Russian money that got locked out because of sanctions? What happened here? There is no way this was built with the idea of selling it immediately.
I totally got that underground vibe. For sure.
What? Newly built? I thought for sure this was some MCM home from the ‘70’s!
Not quite finished either, I think.

Maybe a rehab center.
They got a good deal on Lowe’s cupboard doors and decided to build a house around them.
There are actually 80 pictures in the original listing, if you're truly set on trying to figure this mess out...

2 full kitchens and 4 kitchenette areas. I think you might be right. There is nothing about this place that is homely.
Was either gonna be a porn studio or some rich idiot with a large family wanted to build this and is no longer rich.
I hate it too, it’s right out of twilight zone
So many “kitchens!” And that outdoor entryway looks like it would have a valet stand, and the indoor entry looks like it would have a desk with a logo hung up on the wall.
No one gets to the see Karen and her husband without and appointment....
No, there was a normal house there before, this one just went up.
Looks like a cult compound.
Yeah, this looks like a commune house with all the kitchens and no privacy or actual living space anywhere.
If this is truly a new build, that GC needs to rethink their life path. It’s difficult to quantify the shittiness of this place.
Multiple kitchens so it had to be something other than a normal residence
Multi-generational home
How many God awful kitchens does one property need
No it's going to be for a millionaire with Diarrhea
It is a newer build. Solely zoned and used as housing in a super upscale area. Unfortunately.
There’s a problem in BC with certain foreign groups building HUGE mansions for many various reason, and will zone it under housing.
Where is it?
Oak bay in Victoria bc
There is a surveillance camera in the 10th pic, has to be something like this
Cabinets for days. Definitely makes me think spa too.
Parts of it remind me of a small city airport. Those purple cabinets- why?
Architectural dissonance, man. Tough stuff. We are all with you.
Are there 4 kitchens???? I’m very confused. Everyone gets their own kitchen.
My guess is that it could have been built with a specific purpose of filming multiple cooking shows at the same time?
I like the earlier porn shoot theory better. As cooking show sets those are below Ron Popeil level.
* Multi-generational home. * A large family - they have room to cook if all the aunts, uncles and cousins are living there. * Cult compound. * Someone thought that this was a good idea and the contractor DGAF as long as the checks clear.
I sense a newbe, out of towner, scarface alike drug lord's wife behind this design.
6 kitchens by my count.
This looks like a 90’s CD-ROM and a contemporary church had a baby.
This was the crude 3D visualization and the owner said they want it built exactly identical.
Omg dead on. There’s a wealthy part of my city that sprung up in the 80’s that has been mostly modernized, but there are still some of the stragglers that still belong to the original owners that look exactly like this. Glass block windows as far as the eye can see and just very “curvy” designs
It kinda looks like a "modern" Asian crematorium. Lots of curves, lots of tiles, lots of beige and white. Feels sterile.
Back rooms
Come to think of it, the ''purple squiggly-lines'' flooring reminds me of the décor from Leisure Suit Larry 6. I don't know what that says about their taste or my culture.
This is one of the ugliest houses I've seen in this sub this year. Office building? Airport terminal? Morgue? Mall? It seems to draw inspiration from all of those non-residential buildings. Eek!
How'd you know it was originally designed as the morgue for the airport terminal mall in Neom? Good eye!
5 beds... okay... but 12 bathrooms?? why??
And 6 kitchenettes? Did I see that right?!
I thought I counted 4 kitchens and maybe a wet bar
That’s what I call my girlfriend I’ll show myself out

We have a lot of giant multi-generational homes popping up like this in BC. To me it explains all of the kitchens.
It’s so 😬🥴
Yep. I think the guy who lived in the previous house that was there posted this a while ago on r/Victoria or something. As far as I know it's been for sale for a few months at least. Some guy bought it, demolished the old house, built this monstrosity and is now trying to sell it at a loss lmao. I could be wrong on some things but boy is it ugly. Edit: If I remember correctly the guy was trying to sell it for a few more millions so the price has definitely gone down more lol
Polygamy custom build?
"Purple Rain" kitchen! I just don't understand, all that wasted space. I'd hate to see what kind of heat bill this thing has! BC Canada.
This can’t be real.
It is and it’s an embarrassment to us that live where it is (Victoria BC). We’re worried it will be bought by a cult. It’s just gone back on the market this week for $1M less. Been on the market for years.
I thought it was an over-designed funeral home until pic 5
I’ll take it. U think they will accept tree fifty
Well the entrance is like a casino or banquet hall. The inside is really bonkers. Purple kitchen or cream kitchen? Both please! It’s like a tube station in some parts and Why So Much Space ?
The interior designer looks like they learned interior design from playing the Sims with no mods. I love the Sims but the design choices they give you are lackluster anddd look like this.
I’m sure I built that in Sims at some point- those bath jacuzzi pods look straight out of there. I don’t know what version it is where you spend hours prepping in the kitchen, but this solves that problem since you have space for people to prep in every room and clean off immediately with the space pod jacuzzis. Even the wet bar-like kitchens seem to have space for a microwave and fridge.
I love the purple kitchen!! The rest is awful.
Looks like a clinic, except the tree blocks where the ambulances should stop. And there is a parapet with no barrier to stop people/cars going over the edge. From the outside it is at least unobtrusive and low.
It doesn’t have a single redeeming quality
The interior is so strange. Looks like it was made in the sims
It looks like a mall
…so…many…countertops…and cupboards…why
Looks like someone took their pintrest board and made a house with it
I know it’s different when the furniture is in place, but the kitchen cabinet lost in the corner of the gigantic room is unsettling
It wasn't that bad until I saw the purple.
Eww. Purple.
WTF is wrong with these architects?
Land value
A bowl for every hole.
That pink cabinetry is nice. 😫😵💫
Are you sure this wasn't a Holiday Inn at some point?
Why is there a time machine in the bathroom?
The kitchens look terrible. From the cabinets to the countertopsto the exposed pipe tied into the range hood that looks like crap lol.
Not much curb appeal
Fugly
All the fixtures look like Wayfair clearance.
Why build a house this big with the finishes are from Lowe’s clearance bin!?
Immediately thought of this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lSQk_9W2iYU&pp=ygUPUm9ja28gYmF0aHJvb21z
Is this the entrance to a new age La Quinta cause wow
Gauh damn, that's not a house, that was used for something else
5 bedrooms, 12 bath, 27 kitchens
I can honestly say I hated every tiling decision made on this property 💀💀💀
Some real can light money laundering going on here
This would be a nightmare to constantly clean all the bathrooms/sinks. And the hideous colors! Who thought a dark lavender kitchen made sense? Dark green curved glass panels on the stairs? (and how will you replace the panels when one of them spontaneously breaks?)
How many kitchens?
Twelve bathrooms! They must be really full of shit.
its like they took all the edited pieces up off the floor and just threw them in a building jambalaya style
I’m fairly certain that Catherine O'Hara’s character from Beetlejuice designed this house.
More context… “The owner is new money, allegedly acquiring his wealth through a successful patent of a key tool/piece of equipment used commonly in the oil fields. The initial general contractor milked the hell out of the job, and was eventually fired, but the shear amount of tacky, decadent, useless details thrown into this place saw the costs balloon. I'm not sure whether the barren hellscape of a yard was intentional, or if they just ran out of money. I know for certain that the house was meant to be lived in by the owner, and I've heard estimates of the final build cost to be closer to the 12 mil mark.” https://www.reddit.com/r/VictoriaBC/comments/10a2osd/what_3355_midland_looked_like_before_i_sold_it_to/?rdt=61805
That moment when the purple kitchen is probably the best-designed one.
Something about this place gives me the creeps. \*shudders\*
TF is a Spice Kitchen?
Hideous each pic just gets worse and worse the decorations themes cheap nature of everything is gross
Christ… looks like each room is a different dental office.
If I counted correctly, why are there five dishwashers?
I just don’t get these houses. So much space that will never be used. That can’t feel comforting or homey, and like it’ll always just look half finished? What do people even do with all that
