I could do a blog post on hideously tasteless (to me) home design in the area of Mexico where we live. It would have to be heavily illustrated, or no one would believe me as I strained for words to describe them.

. /|\ | What he said!
Mexican architecture is pretty much an oxymoron. Every architect thinks he's Barragán, which rather begs the question of whether or not Barragán's houses work better as art than architecture.
My stepfather is an architect & I was attempting to describe where I was living to him. Finally, said, never mind, you'll see it when you get here. His comment when he finally saw the house, "I'm looking at it, I'm inside of it, and I still don't get it."
Don calls the houses tasteless. That doesn't begin to cover the illogic quotient of most home building here.
