This house is just a mcmansion all around, and it's quite ugly. I dunno who built it but it makes me upset just how much wasted space and lack of design there is. Also, the horses? Jesus.

It's 2.5 mil btw

Well worth looking at the listing photos. The entire house is an ode to over-the-top bad taste.

I love the ironwork on the staircase and the fireplace fascia in the dining area ... but the rest of it is just ugh.

Seems inexpensive for Barrington. There’s plenty more fodder in that town for this community.

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:

Posts can be about ugly houses in general
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No Screenshots -->Crop your photos correctly.
Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.
