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 really don't like the interior on this one. XD It looked like naked plywood at first.

This one's interesting, if only for the wasted potential IMO. Someone was clearly going for the mountain lodge look architecturally, but it appears as if an interior decorator with a passion for ornate floral patterns got hold of it afterward, and then tried to make it fit the theme by picking only brown and tan colorways. The end result is chaotically busy and oppressively dark, which is a damn shame because architecturally it could have been rather spectacular.

A buyer with a clear vision and a lot of patience for wallpaper removal could make this into a really nice house, I think.
