A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design.

Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too!

We need mods!! Please please help!

A Short Guide

Friends at c/badrealestate!

Here are the rules:

  1. Posts can be about ugly houses in general
  2. Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. -->Tags: "Thursday Design Appreciation" or "HouseTDA", "Just Ugly", "Shitpost", "Certified McMansion™", "Discussion/Debate", and "Interior" are available.
  3. All post subjects must be single family homes -->Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture.
  4. Don't post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. -->Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing.
  5. Direct Images Only, no links please. -->Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such.
  6. No Spam -->No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn't react to it. Please understand that.
  7. No Screenshots -->Crop your photos correctly.
  8. Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

I don't think I would call this a McMansion fully, but it's very very close. If you don't agree, I can change the title!!!

It's mostly the roofing and needless columns.

Edit:

thank you mihnt for the listing link and location info!

Oh God the middle peak just... Stops. Why?!?! Why does it just abruptly end?!?!

Whatever is going on with the center roof is the worst part of this.

What did they do with its side? Did some one steal it? Is there some other house with 1/5th of this house on it?

Also, every window has a soul patch. It leaves me feeling like I'm at a pretentious espresso bar.

Edit: EXCEPT 3! Those are the managers.

The architect wanted to create something unique and visually interesting, but failed SO HARD. It’s ugly, the windows are misaligned, and the end result just looks like a series of mistakes.
