Boom Spawns New Mutant Form of Architecture
We discovered a new hybrid genre of house on Putnam Avenue in Bed Stuy this weekend. Call it the Fedders Sliver. And, as the sign says, it can be all yours for only 3% down. Any takers?

Sorry – don’t know what think its hunk of crap ( at least from I what can see in pic).
Facade does not prove how well contructed a building is ( and that goes for any ‘Fedders’ bldg).
This may look more ugly because of sides – supposed to be row house- so eventually not going to see sides.
But if row of these built I think would like halfway decent.
You’re right that is not one of the worst in terms of design…the proportions are a little funny and are probably look stranger given the lack of houses on either side.
I think you’re right – a lot of them are empty. But the building of these properties has very distorted supply and demand (with city incentives etc)
i doesn’t look THAT bad— i’ve seen worse. at least the windows (such as they are), are not microscopic!
Honestly, I much rather have an “empty lot full of rubbish” than THAT.
The question is, are people willing to pay the not-modest sums being asked for these pieces of crap or are they all just sitting there on the market?
I hear you guys – I know this stuff looks terrible – in my humble opinion however it is better than an empty lot full of rubbish. Of course I would prefer something designed but a lot of folks wouldn’t pay those incremental dollars if you offered it to them..
Not suggesting anything. Just having a little fun.
Since when is a skinny house something new?
Are you suggesting that the developer bought two lots but built three houses?
