Well-designed buildings that blend into the landscape can pass people by, but bad design executions stick out like a sore thumb. 

People from around the world have taken to Reddit to share the shocking design fails they’ve spotted.

One person posted a picture of steps which were so uneven they were dubbed ‘ankle breaker’ stairs.

Here FEMAIL takes a look at some of the most hilarious design fails from around the world…
