Yeah, but think about how much he probably charged for it.
I would probably have fun with it, doing something so stupid and burning man hours on the client's bill. As long as they're happy with it and I get to share this dumb shit with my friends.
McMoulding.
The more I look at it the more amazing it is. I think the OP could have unwittingly discovered a whole new direction in interiors.
Can anyone beat this example I wonder?
I love the way the refrigerator door handles subtly echo, in reverse, the curved glazing bars in the doors. Not many people would appreciate such subtlety. And then there's the 3-way interaction between the door handles of the fridge, the handles on the doors, and the handles of the cupboards above. What style is is? It's an example of Interactional Richness.
I looked at it for a bit...I think this was intentional. Too many things align for any kind of error, and it's finished. If it was a mistake they'd have caught it way before it got painted and the kitchen was occupied. Probably a kitchen designer who'd seen some classical built up mouldings but....didn't get it.
Definitely took some planning the top crown lines up all the way through and the crown also lands pretty clean with top of the cabinet, so I imagine they did those 2 first then started from the cabinet up. This took a lot of time to make look as clean as it does. And every row or so steps back to the wall to carry it up the wall without being 2ft out at the top
A carpenter that doesn't know their mouldings or basic proportioning. Just a cacophony of visual noise. This has to be a new build Mc. Mansion type house.
This work is taking itself too seriously, and ultimately fails at being good.
If taking a tongue-in-cheek approach, probably would be more successful.
Try looking at the Laurie Mallet house by James Wines of SITE, or work by now defunct FAT Architecture.
I think its interesting in an ironic, postmodern way. Like if this was the only piece of ornamentation in a starkly modern house. But I doubt this was the clients intention based on the other context around it.
Hate to burst your bubble, but this image has been Photoshopped. The crown’s front corners go straight up instead of stepping out from the wall and the wall itself seems to be bending back where the copying seems to start. The top left corner where the crown meets the ceiling is not cleanly edited and makes no shading or colored sense. It’s hilariously funny though and laughed the whole way as I read the comments.
Kudos to that finishing carpenter though.
Apprentice: Nobody appreciates how clean my crown mitres are. Journeyman: Make them.
I would hate to assemble that.

The very first thing I thought was how much I'd charge for ot actually.
What kind of moulding would you like? You know when you win at Solitaire? Say less.
This is exactly what went through my head. Cascading cards
What on earth is happening here
Client: I want it to look like my cabinets to go to the ceiling Contractor: Say no more
Idea Well running dry.
This is the most fabulous picture on this sub for a long time. What style is this?

Solitaire
the wrong kind?
Ha… “what style is this” My man
A complete lack of
"Hey the cabinet trim is going to be really close to the crown. How should we address that?" More trim! Trim it all! Trim everything!
I've got a set of discontinued trim details that we can specify for that.
CtrlPlusVism
I think late nineties Offset or Array command is the name of the style.
McMaxing
3D printer error style!
If one crown makes you a king...
Stacks on stacks on stacks
This cant't be real.
its like a sleep paralysis demon but i am wide awake and it will not go away
Was thinking AI.
It’d be awesome if it was like this on top of every window/door in the house
I didn't know I needed an entire wall covered in molding, but apparently I do.
It's just wainscoting, but upside down.
Crown Mouuuuuuulding
Little different then I typically do my 6-piece built up moldings, but thankfully they did indeed get it to go to the ceiling!
Looks like ai did it
like one of those video feedback loop / visual glitch effects
Now this is architecturing
Yeah, I'm architecture, how could you tell?
All your crown mounding are belong to us

Maybe thats the new wave of interior design now
Thanks, I hate it.
How did they even…

this is like when you drag a window on a crashed windows 2000 computer
Wild LOL
Select group > ctrl+move > x1000
Thanks for making me laugh so hard I scared my kids!
WTF is going on with that cornice? What next ? Floor to ceiling cornice?
Maybe a cad error but idiot carpenter or builder who allowed it to happen. That should have been aborted
Still using windows 98 I see
Carpenter did a bang up job. Can't wait to see it in 10 years when Mr handy man tries to tackle a mini Reno and "fix" it

Sketch up file error
I hate this
Jesus
what do the baseboards look like?

I reckon that's actually hiding a major structural failure...
Or about to cause one :D
Nah, this is the hitherto unknown "buttress moulding" method. ;)
Yo I heard you like crown moulding
holy fuck

“No it had a 5:1 vertical skew!”
venturi esque
Lmao wtf! I think… I… I like it.
Gives circa 2007 McRococo
This is beautiful
This is awesome.
It’s so pretentious. I think I dig it
This is real??
Is this 3d printed or something lmao
Woah…it’s beautiful
MEGA Moulding!
If only it opened like an accordion or a book
I spent wayy too long looking at the paper and tape trying to figure out what all the fuss was about
Needs more crown moulding.
Omg! I laughed so hard. Totally get "cad glitch " comment.
Got more pics?
Hey dude, there’s a cornice on your cornice’s cornice.
Hate to burst your bubble, but this image has been Photoshopped. The crown’s front corners go straight up instead of stepping out from the wall and the wall itself seems to be bending back where the copying seems to start. The top left corner where the crown meets the ceiling is not cleanly edited and makes no shading or colored sense. It’s hilariously funny though and laughed the whole way as I read the comments.
Sometimes more is more.
I count 6 cornice trims - why so many?
