This just isn't good. At all. All of that wasted space makes me upset. Those trees that could still be here, too.
Northern Virginia is unfortunately infested with these things.

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!
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.

May the architect who designed that abomination grow warts on his fingers.
It really has no soul at all. It's also a heat island now.
Was the architect having a stroke?
Looks like something the early Dall-e would make. You know. The one that couldn't do hands.
This is prime r/fucklawn (how do you link a community on lemmy?) content
One of the main issues feels to me to be the tiny windows. Why build a massive house and not put big windows in?
also the dormers are weird too
I work in houses like this once in a while. They're terribly inefficient with their high ceilings. Also the work is super shotty. I have to go and fix all the drywall seams that are cracked, which is usually every single corner, and many straight seams, specially on the ceilings. The people that tend to live in them are usually a very small family, sometimes a single person. Kinda crazy.
That shop and barn look nice. Most valuable part of the lot from the looks of it.
The price per square foot doesn't look to bad. I'd love to retire in a place like this. Could use a pool and hot tub though.
