I hate when homes are built with tall ceilings but don't fill out the space right. It feels so empty and garbage on the inside, let alone the shitty paneling on the outside with basically 0 landscaping. Yuck!

The half a Fairfield inn look

Wow, this has owner-designed written all over it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It really does look designed by someone who doesn't know anything about architecture. Not that I'm an architect, but they made the main living space look like a carnival fun-house and somehow made the bedrooms feel cramped even with all the storage available.

These houses are always worse on the inside. 50k to 560k in 20 years is a bit much.

That is cheap garbage, but is it a McMansion? 3BR, 3BA, 3100 sq ft? For sure, it would be less expensive to tear it down and start over than try to fix that mess.

I agree. This isn’t McMansion levels of home.

For anyone not living in North America, his a McMansion. Who needs that much space? Who needs those non sensical windows above the front door ? Are you guys 7 meters tall and 4 meters wide giants?

Of course it's a McMansion. I have a 2/1 that is under 400 sq ft. What in the world do they need that kind of space for? Not to mention the cubic space...

I thought the same thing

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Tall ceilings and narrow hallways on a new construction are a pass from me dawg. I don't know who the architect is, but they made some poor choices.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

There's "open floor plan" and then there is this.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Nothing a good interior designer could not fix. Not too bad from the outside, actually.

Just compare it with those McMansions that were already f-ed up by their outside look, and the only medicine to heal it would be a few cans of gasoline and a match.

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.
