From a bike path on the canal ledge to a tap above an electricity socket – all of these crazy places need a warning sign next to them. Or to be moved to hell, a place where they belong. Scroll down to check out the images and vote for those that deserve a “Worst Architecture Decision” award. (H/T)

![LaRue Architects @laruearchitects [IG] Designs a U Shaped Home Around Heritage Oak Groves in Austin Hill Country
The Cliffside House Perched Above Lake Austin, by LaRue Architects:
This sprawling home was designed and built atop a steep hillside, 75 feet above Lake Austin. The homeowners, a young professional couple with three small children, wanted their home to be all about ‘lake life.’ To take advantage of the spectacular lake views and the surrounding heritage oak trees, LaRue Architects designed the structure with large expanses of glass making the home transparent from front to back upon entry providing incredible vistas throughout the home.
