I sure am glad that I'm not an architect. You have to think about so many different things, even when you're designing something as humble as a house. The result could be a livable, admirable work of art — or, as with much of middle America, it could be yet another take on McMansion hell. 

Many suburban dwellings commit the dual crimes of being ugly and impractical, as proven by a post-turned-meme by "real estate investing coach" Alan Corey. When he took to Twitter complaining of an "inaccessible landing" design feature he often saw in the foyers of many modern homes, he queried how to make the most of this pointless nook. It was his lucky day, as countless people were ready and waiting with their quirky ideas that soon snowballed into a daft Photoshop meme. If this viral post proved anything, it's that this kind of thing is best reserved for a tricky level in a video game.

    Alan Corey | Real... @RealEstate Maxi Follow One of my least-liked design elements of suburban design is this inaccessible landing I see in foyers. Any creative solutions for "staging" it out there?
