Guess the Country

Which country this house is from? I'll give you 3 guesses.

retarded architecture
small plot with shit tier wire fence
4 seasons and no trees
need a satellite so it's remote

i'm gonna guess some shithole in the mountainous region of eurasia

some shithole in the mountainous region of eurasia

Not completely wrong but not very close either.

could be Poland, Germany, Romania or Belgium

black roof tiles strongly indicate German-sphere to me but on the other hand, generally cheap finishing (plaster+paint with no clincker) makes me think more of eastern Europe

Recent build but soulless, so Germany

Belgium

ok. not eurasia, but still temperate to need a tilted roof.. south america? somewhere around the andes?

Correct. It's in Rostock.

actually that would be interesting to know why modern German architecture insists on black roofs so much, it's kinda out of place in Europe and against the traditional red coloring

so I was right about German-sphere and eastern Europe at the same time kek

And Est anon right about it being in a shithole.

every new house looks like a soulless variation of this one here

Where in the world would you find this McMansion?

Louisiana

some english suburb?

There's a connection to England but it's not there.

It's in a cooler area.

our larpers in western Poland also build in this style

saar because Germans build like that just over the border saar it must be beautiful because Germans do it believe me saar we are like Germans saar

i mean, i can understand cheap finishing or simple shapes just for pragmatic reasons to lower the cost of construction but WTF are all roofs black?? It looks depressing

it seems really germanic so i thought that's it

sweden?

It's in Leipzig, Saxony. Probably built over a building bombed by Brits.

just looks like modern slop house. i see this type of black roof on many new houses nowadays.

probably German boomers living in Bulgaria
i cannot imagine a native Bulgarian to go for a black roof, it's against the principles of Med and Balkan culture

it's cheap and durable. easy to fit. so what ever
t. refitted my summer cottage roof with the same shit last summer

There are dark grey uPVC windows, doors, and other features which are a trend here and becoming an alternative standard compared to the white coloured uPVC from the past, it's so soulless and dark

This is only 50k euro in Uhlstadt-Kirchhasel.

yeah, i must admit the way they're building in Leipzig and Dresden now is often very beautiful and cool, these cities, associated with ugliness and poverty like 30 years ago, will soon be among the prettiest ones in all of Germany

im not sure if there is some federal reconstruction program and money pumped into these cities or they do it themselves but i appreciate that

but the problem isn't with material but with the color
i don't believe that black tiles are cheaper than any other color so why black specifically?

butifel

the other option was dark green, but i had a bad feeling about the paint finish. it seemed like it would chip.
idk just went with gut feeling

Leipzig and Dresden were actually some of the nicer looking cities even just post-reunification. As was Weimar. The bombing was a meme. Places like Berlin are ugly because that's how they were built.

the other option was dark green

and why not traditional European red?

no one does red roofs here. no one.

were actually some of the nicer looking cities even just post-reunification

why did you abandon traditions of your ancestors then?

i think you completely misunderstand. red tile roofs are still a thing. but what has been posted itt is not tile, it's metal panel

I'm going to buy a 50k euro house in Thuringen and move to Germany.

it's metal panel

so what? it still could be red to keep some coherence with your traditional style and coloring scheme
here most modern roofs are also made of metal tiles but usually red

country houses are usually green or black here

there's a superstition that if you paint your roof red your house will burn

also.. i can almost see my own house on your previous pic and it is not red, it's brown

there's a superstition that if you paint your roof red your house will burn

seriously? interesting, we don't have it here

i only know that there is a superstition that if you don't put pic rel on the top of your house when its construction is finished, it might burn

yeah, that too. but we place it differently. it's put on the front beam of the roof

it's put on the front beam of the roof

it can be put there too, depends on local tradition

Those are grim af

black roof

Nobody knows, brighter colours would make more sense, but people are retarded sheep.

btw, are most modern houses in Estonia made of bricks or you still continue to build wooden houses?

most modern buildings are made of reinforced concrete unless it's a small project where you might use wood. i don't think anyone really uses bricks anymore

cinder blocks are used, so i guess they'll pass as brick nowadays

i don't think anyone really uses bricks anymore

i mean, most houses here are made of concrete blocks nowadays but I understand it as "bricks"

yeah lol. i got a bit confused myself back there :DD

ok, I just wanted to know if you still commonly use wood for construction but it looks this tradition is fading away too, same like here (where it already disappeared several decades ago, bar few regions).

while causally looking at Estonian cities I noticed this wonderful Slav-Colloseum, what kind of ancient Slav-civilization might have built that there

don't get me wrong. it depends on the building. where it's at and what's the purpose. if it's a family home somewhere not in the centre of the city it's very likely to be a wooden structure. we are VERY proud of our wooden structures here

we are VERY proud of our wooden structures here

nice to know then, here wood is actually looked down on as building material, seen as expensive and flammable so dangerous. It's more common only in the mountains (where it kinda is a local style and even attraction for the tourists) or north-eastern Poland (but new constructions are brick-made there too)
probably depends on local conditions though, we simply don't have as many forests as Estonia does

kek. i used to live there like 30+ years ago. it's a typical commieblock suburb. albeit a pretty decent one, more greenery than the later ones

it's a typical commieblock suburb

which i guess means no one speaks Estonian there, right?
i always imagined that Russians in Estonia live in commieblocks while native Estonians in these cozy houses in the suburbs

which i guess means no one speaks Estonian there, right?

are you kidding me? that place was 100% nazi. there were local militias doing the 'heil hitler' salute in random alleys

you see that round thing in the middle? that's an artificial lake. that's where the local rushits were thrown after beating the fuck out of them

okay then I was told wrong things
i heard that Russians often envy Estonians because Russians live in shitty grey ugly commieblocks while Estonians have big nicely built houses

estonian houses are too small for anyone to be envious, they live in literal 50m2 sheds, it's just sad

and no estonians live in commieblocks? cmon, you can't be that dense

idk if it's about "all" of them, but apparently there is statistically relevant difference and Russians are overrepresented among commieblock residents

im not saying it's inherently bad or wrong but it can just be one of the reasons for why there is a conflict

This is apparently what an Estonian house really looks like.

comfy inside

10000000x more SOVL than OP

It seems to be just fashion. Darker colored rood tiles store more heat so this can be beneficial in colder seasons but this is the only real property of such roof tiles.

their 'burbs are really nice
they have super-huge yards comparing to here

Are houses really only 30k euro in Estonia or is this a scam website

remember that we're talking about a country in eastern Europe

houses are more like in the 300k region. it's a scam

All those trees are nice but probably a nightmare to keep trimmed.

Estonians seem to have plenty of space

Yeah it's a very poorly concocted scam, probably aimed at Brits.

we call this type of situation here 'legoland'

to keep trimmed.

...you don't need to trim everything all the time, just let nature handle it
