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'm not sure if this is a mcmansion. It's 22mil for an island and, it does have a few questionable decisions but I'm really not sure.

Let's discuss!

There are a lot of pictures! I'm not sold XD

This house screams 2000's design. I agree it checks all the Mcmansion boxes but does seem to sit on the fence. There are moments that u can tell are well thought out, horrible asthetics aside, the pool being my favorite. What puts it over the edge for me is It feels like the designer couldnt choose between post modern, contemporary, or an over grandiose Lloydian prarie style. The past owner definitely sniffs their farts from only the finest crystal glasses.

These super high end places around here (Charlotte burbs) always amuse me.

I mean, dress it up all ya want but at the end of the day, your ass is still in Huntersville.
