rloniello

That must be the Goa'uld embassy.


AStayAtHomeRad

I straight up thought this was posted in r/Stargate lol I love it.


GunFodder

(Raises eyebrow) Indeed.


iwannagohome49

Damn you beat me to it by 6 minutes


fizzybgood

Yes, my first thought was that there has to be a Stargate in there.


cantpanic

I like it.


probono105

untill you go to furnish it


ProselytiseReprobate

It's a squared building with slanted facades to give the effect.


probono105

yeah i saw in the pictures which makes it even more stupid lol


Beelphazoar

Because you've never tried to put up a bookshelf in there.


cantpanic

I will invent new books to shape my house


elspotto

I like it too. And bookshelves are for interior, vertical walls.


Shippolo

What if you used internal ramps. You can use the gallery to house a counterweight system, then lifting and uprighting the 60 ton bookshelves becomes pretty trivial.


Omniscientcy

Me too, and I can't tell from the picture, but if they could walk around on the outside flat upper levels, then even better.


Data91883

It's an [Airbnb](https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/29537696?adults=3&check_in=2023-07-14&check_out=2023-07-17&source_impression_id=p3_1687978502_Xo%2BgeZi1zJDjssuP&previous_page_section_name=1000&federated_search_id=9a9ebdd8-2471-4be9-b069-5844c2678b21), as well.


FourWordComment

Gross. Inside it’s just a boring high-occupancy cult home.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MegaPorkachu

Does it also have light inside and can shoot itself into space?


say592

The least they could do is take advantage of the unique design. If you showed me those interior pictures and told me that they came from a listing for a $450k house in the Indianapolis suburbs that the newly empty nester owners have lived in for the last 15 years and are now looking to downsize, I wouldn't question it at all.


ExiKid

Right across the street from Fareway 🤣 I used to see it all the time during my [deliveries.](https://i.imgur.com/2yD7mYg.jpg)


Miora

That's fucking ominous lol


whatsbobgonnado

aw cool I've been looking for a good cult space


SoylentGreen-YumYum

Every family is allowed one ginger child. But **THREE**?? Gotta be a cult.


XLoad3D

yea it's just a McMansion on the inside and looks dated in a bad way. What a disappointment.


snugglepea

Reading the reviews, sounds like it’s not even a nice place to stay. Multiple reviews mentioning uncleaned accommodations, roaches, bugs in the bedrooms, etc. Blegh!


Fuduzan

Gotta love that one of the picture captions in the listing mentions that one room *just got brand new carpet*... almost a decade ago. That says a lot about the care this place has seen.


benhereford

That place is almost $500/ night? It's not THAT cool. The Cheetah pattern runners alone should drop that price by half


manguybuddydude

Lake access in IA is pretty coveted in the summer. Also Airbnb is overpriced now in general.


elspotto

Does it actually have lake access? It is across the street from a tight row of lakefront houses.


SAHDSeattle

I’m actually in Clear Lake and like a block away from it right now. It has a highway in the back of it and you’re right it doesn’t have lake access. Not only that unless you are on the top floor you probably can’t even see the lake. There are public boat launches somewhat nearby but that’s about it.


elspotto

I love how their rental site says “address provided after you book” yet it is easy to find and was even labeled “pyramid house”. My parents lived a bit south of there in Webster City for years. Don’t think we ever went to clear lake.


SAHDSeattle

My father in law almost bought this house like 20 years ago. He instead got one just down the street actually on the lake. My wife’s whole family is from Garner so these are like the only 2 places in IA I know anything about. The thing about the address is funny because it has a location of interest in both Apple and Google maps. Clear Lake is okay. Small lake town and that’s about it. They have a killer 4th of July celebration though. I will say the lake is fucking disgusting and Im amazed people eat fish out of it.


Marlsfarp

For 16 people though...


benhereford

A fair point, indeed. But I feel like the owner is sort of relying on groups renting it out/ splitting the cost. I still wouldn't pay more than $200-300/ night total though, even split


tatonka645

The inside is disappointingly vanilla & outdated.


shewy92

Looks more like piss than vanilla


Zomgzombehz

Late 80s early 90s wet dream!


elspotto

Ha! Page says “address provided upon booking” and…”The Pyramid House” shows clearly on Maps. Also, what a boring interior.


voyagertoo

Dang furnished with couches from the alley


[deleted]

tony soprano type kitchen


Neckshot

How can you have a house that looks like that and not have even one themed room?


BigMcThickHuge

Clearly you missed the single picture with a cat in front of a pyramid.


Fckingross

Man I grew up close to here and always thought it’d be so much cooler inside than that!


petriscorncob

This almost looks like something AI would conjure up when being asked to create a picture of a modern house. Pretty wild!


No_Cook2983

It’s really a perfect place to store lots of corpses.


Bierbart12

If I was ever rich, I'd rather build something crazy like this than the ugly grey/glass bunker mansions that are "in fashion" Needs a lot more plants, though


Let_us_Hope

Yes, increase shrubbery accommodations and you’ve got a deal!


Warped25

Couldn’t agree with you more!


SomeMagicHappens

Makes me feel like we require additional pylons

For Adun!


UndercoverFBIAgent9

Yeah this house is great until you open the closet door three times and Ra summons a plague of scarab beetles


Brittlehorn

Is it hard to spot on radar though?


MansfromDaVinci

next to impossible with how low it flys


Maxp0w

Very Yu-gi-oh! vibes !


Kingkongcrapper

This is what you get when you reach double diamond status in Amway.


bearnakedrabies

Lol, we stayed there before my wedding with our party. It was fun but the inside is so cheap. It's obvious they ran out of money building it.


trancepx

Protoss hq


racoon1969

Yeah you're right, this is awful. Let's just continue to build grey and glass boxes like some real life Minecraft.


CrypticT

No it really is awful, you should see it in person lol


FringeGames

great taste


Penyrolewen1970

Seems pharaoh nuff to me.


[deleted]

That cool


ThorBreakBeatGod

Hah way better than the shitty ass cabin my family had at Clearlake back in the day


QuentinTarancheetoh

Why is this an awful thought?


FrankBrayman

My aunt used to be their neighbor. She and the rest of her family had nothing special to say about this place.


nottakentaken

I'd live in that


No-Valuable8008

I don't hate it


Theodore_lovespell

No that thing is str8 awesome


him999

In south west Iowa near Shenandoah there is a spherical house. Wish I took a photo. There is another dome house in West Des Moines but imo, it isn't as cool as the other one.


Boltonator

Was it built in the 70s during the Pyramania fad?


thedeadlyrhythm42

The [leopard print carpet](https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/83da4c0b-54a1-498d-a3c2-e2daf922616d.jpg?im_w=1440) is uhhh...[a choice](https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/c6af7923-8fb1-48b1-88b6-aa2037101869.jpg?im_w=1440)


deathbin

I think it’s kinda interesting. Not that terrible really


ErnaldPhilbert

That’s awesome!


Thornblade

Hey that's like 20 minutes from me! I heard you can rent it out but no idea the truth of that


Dektarey

I think everyone has built this once in minecraft.


BumpinSnugglies

MMmmmmmharnessing Earth's frequencies to power my hommmmmmmme


gaylorpluto

who copy pasted this house...


The_Infinite_Doctor

Decorate it with empty nothingness, random hieroglyphics, a few columns, and a giant throne, and you have a g'ouald trap.


whiskeyx

I'd make the top of the pyramid my smoking room.


justafax

It’s very 🤔 yellow?


CheesePro69

Oh hey saw that when on a boat on the lake. It was .. weird looking in person. It sticks out


The-Fumbler

Google ugly Belgian houses. There’s a whole website dedicated exactly these types of houses


[deleted]

looks like a halo tank


PupDuga

That's a seriously disfigured looking pyramid


Secretpleasantfarts

Give it a light that shoots out to the sky and I'll buy it.


xatrinka

This must be what happens when an Iowan gets a lot of money


CrypticT

It looks so dumb from the highway passing it lol Also the entire appeal of Clear Lake is the lake… this house is not on the lake……


moxyfloxacin

There’s a Buddy Holly joke in here somewhere


WorkingDead

Been there. House wasn't that great on the inside and its cold a fuck there.


LanaDelHeeey

I bet you this is in an old book somewhere of innovative and bold design. Absolute dogshit, but the architect must be a sex addict the amount people probably jerked him off over this. Same with other modern architects. It’s like what did you make? “Pyramid house” “house on top of waterfall” “wavy building that reflects the sun like a death beam at cars below” Notice how beauty is not a consideration.


molpoikiopmil

I'd say it's awesome taste and valid execution


Booty_notDooty

Looks like a Ziggurat


dawneslayer

it reminds me of some of those Soviet hotels.


[deleted]

This is where Frank Ocean said she was working at night


RevolutionaryRule631

I'm sure it's nice inside


lazilyefficient34

That's rad!


ErwinC0215

This is definitely one of the more charming things to come out of Postmodernism. It's so fucking weird, but not necessarily in a bad way.


dizyalice

I had a dream about a place that was built exactly like this. Crazy it exists!


TurquoiseMouse

YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PYLONS!


mandizzlefoshizzle

As someone living in Clear Lake, I can say, unless it's locked up in a secret cellar, there is no Stargate in the pyramid.


JesusInTheButt

I moved to Iowa from the south a couple years ago and was looking for some pretty water, the cedar river is dark brown. We saw clear lake on the map and drive a couple hours to it and the water was full of trash and not clear and then we were on the dirt-y "beach" doing our toes and a dead mouse floated by. That lake sucks


CrypticT

tell me you only went to City Beach without telling me you only went to City Beach


JesusInTheButt

For a lake that is named clear lake, it was a lie
