McMansions: The houses that people love to hate

There’s a certain type of house that people love to hate. They're called "McMansions," and architecture critic Kate Wagner has dedicated her website, McMansion Hell, to explaining why these houses rub people the wrong way. Subscribe to The Washington Post on KZread: bit.ly/2qiJ4dy

    She has also made comments on "McModerns" which borrow many of the bad habits of McMansions, but on a smaller scale that even more people can afford. (Unbalanced, mismatched styles and windows, weird layouts, nubby roofs, and very cheap materials that don't last.)

    Architects that don’t care about design created some of the buildings that you hate most. Or even stuff in your own home. Bathtub too small? Hitting doorjambs or countertops from turning too fast? Is there a window you don’t like because of where it’s facing or because it’s too small or too big or in an awkward place? Bad architecture has consequences.

    McMansions aren’t designed by architects, they’re designed by the engineers and builders, which is why they are so ugly, they take luxurious details from traditional styles of architecture, turrets and bay windows from Queen Anne, exteriors from craftsmen and classical details from geek revival and then mix it all up without guidance because they know people don’t know any better. Also I work in construction and have seen the way these are built, every single one I’ve ever seen is made with builder grade materials. Builder grade usually refers to the cheapest materials on the market, ie. cheap fixtures, vinyl windows, stone veneer, stucco, hollow columns, asphalt roof, plywood frame, these materials have been used in every single house I’ve worked in, the only exception was that once they used composite roof shingles instead of asphalt shingles. These materials are used essentially because people don’t know any better, these are essentially mass produced, low quality houses, meant to give the average upper middle class family a grasp at something that would be in the millions, they are a cash grab, a well built house of this size would cost almost 10 times the price of one of these, the ones I’ve seen usually have some sort of water damage within two years of construction, if you want a new house please meet with an architect, you’ll end up with better quality and design than these scams.

    I spend my college years in one of these and you’re absolutely correct. In ten years we had a wall collapse from water damage, and had to replace all the carpeting. The tiles weren’t sealed and the stone work had bubbles leading to shattered and cracked pieces. Utter garbage. My parents are having a trusted builder work on their new home and get to be there choosing materials the entire time. If you have the money for one of these monstrosities, skip it and find a good builder instead.

    I worked as a painter in the Philly suburbs during the McMansion boom, and these houses are VERY cheaply/shoddily built. Very poor quality materials, and a rushed, subcontracted-to-death environment made a ton of .5 to 1 million dollar houses that will fall down in 50 years. Me and another guy on my crew always joked that the easiest point of entry for burglars to these houses was to kick a hole through the wall and empty the place out.... perhaps the real burglars were the builders and the banks though....

    They are not well designed on the inside, very sloppily built. All my friends growing up lived in McMansions, and they are surprisingly small on the inside. The walls are fairly thin, and the heating costs are enormous. These are homes for people that don't mind throwing their money away. If you want a home that will last, flip a sturdy Victorian home. My grandparents owned several, and I'm living in one now. They have a good use of space, and if you install the right windows, they maintain their heat pretty well.

    I grew up in one. 1,3 million dollars The location and .75 acre garden/forest behind it was fantastic, but the actual building wasn't very good. Sides were vinyl with thin wood underneath only some parts were brick. One neighbour was in all-brick but I never asked how much more they paid. Interior had all sorts of defects. Cabinets not aligned, paint cracked within years, cheap drywall could be broken by bumping a chair into, bad energy efficiency wastes a ton of money About the garden, they cut down a forest to clear for the neighbourhood. It had rocky clay Ontario soil, which was rammed up to the foundations and run over with heavy rollers. Hard and deoxigenated, so when we got serious about making a garden and plants we had to dig (or more like mine) the soil and re-fill with topsoil so plants wouldn't be stunted and had 3 feet of root depth

    She didn't even get into the fact that McMansions are an environmental nightmare. Who'd a thought, but it turns out it's hard to heat those two-story rooms, and turrets, and nubs and whatnot, especially when the building is situated toward the road rather than located according to the site conditions. When designers (of any kind) don't have to work within constraints, like a reasonable price, durable, and economical, they get lazy.

    The older homes with high ceilings were built to naturally retain heat in the winter and invite cooling winds in the summer. The original architectures were designed with a purpose, they weren't only for appearances like these Frankenstein Mansions. 😬 If they want to show off their dough, perhaps invest it on a properly built house with eco furnishings or even gaudy gold finishings. A thoughtfully, well styled house always leaves a better impression than a patchwork Kardashistein. 😖

    The thing I hate about McMansions here is that developers stick them on as small a plot of land as they can. They are the predominant influence on development in local suburbs and have become preferred over a sensible sized house with a decent yard. . If you’re gonna pay that much, I’d rather have a smaller house and more land than a house that eats up square footage with decorative architecture.

    There's so much more to this discussion than what is presented here - land development/subdivision design, the advent and evolution of suburbia, economics (cost of materials, labor, land, design, engineering, home values, etc), landscaping, building codes, HOAs, customer needs, and so on. Designing and building an elegant house that is appealing aesthetically and artistically is not what most people set out to do when they pay for a house to be built. They want to maximize utility, which often means maximizing footprint, including numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, while minimizing cost, and achieving a functional layout with their chosen amenities. They also want it to be safe and occupiable. These translate into decent appraisal/resale value for the investment, so long as the house is maintained. The reality is, many of those in the market for a house can't afford to have their house's aesthetics created by an architect, designed by an engineer, and built by a craftsman builder with high quality materials. The process typically goes something like this: a land development company acquires a tract of land and subdivides it, with plans for lots, utilities, and access. They may or may not, but often do work with a particular builder or association of builders and contractors that will provide their services to prospective buyers. A prospective new buyer sees the location desirable and has a need for housing. They meet with the builder - basic layouts (that pass building codes) are shown, with the ability to mildly customize with pre-designed features. The chosen plan and features are Frankensteined together within the bounds of building codes and stamped by an engineer that they are safe and within code.

    Architectural beauty is a personal choice. If she likes small symmetrical houses with lower basic standards that's fine. Contemporary type dwellings are becoming popular these days. This girls problem is that she spreads negativity towards people who take pride in their homes. I can tell she is a liberal who believes that any house built in excess of the owners needs is a form of bragging. Pride is not a form of bragging, its a way to feel a sense of accomplishment . This girl has mental/envy issues so she formed an alliance of hate with others toward large houses because misery loves company. Read the comments, nobody likes this rebellious feminist

Have an estate that is beneficial to the community, economy, and to the native wildlife. If you're not rich, please don't try to mimic something that you are most definitely not by creating a parody of what others have worked hard to achieve.

    Them critisizing her is basically what shes doing to the mcmansions. Architecture is for both function and the aesthetic. Her judging the houses is like her judging another person only its socially acceptable because houses cant get triggered. Im sure there are plenty of smaller houses that are "architectually wrong". I see where shes coming from but I find it petty to be so nitpicky about them. Theyre houses? No one ever said they have to follow some simplistic cookie cutter guideline. I think that the different patterns and stuff make them unique its not like the structure is a hazard and would cause the house to fall apart.

    For me, the sign of a Mcmansion is that they only try to look presentable from the front. If you look at their sides they look like a county jail. Tiny, different sized windows in really weird places, and recessed far into the wall. And for such enormous residences, it's weird that they only have two exits, typically. Also kind of like a county jail.

    Josh Bobst Yeah some of the homes in this video were actually legitimate quasi-mansions to me. They weren't the true McMansions we have and you described.

    Reminds me of a baroque castle i've been to. It looked horrible because it was just overloaded with valuable elements that didn't fit together at all and probably should just show the wealth of the owner. However, I don't quite agree with the video, the houses don't disgust me and are funny in a way - I think that they should mind their own business. Maybe it's because I have never seen a McMansion in real life.

    I see why she’s being hated on in the comments for essentially taking a massive shit on people’s dream homes. However, in her defence she’s starting a conversation and creating awareness that not all home designs have to be the same. Maybe it’s time home developers come up with new designs for the market and reduce their margins

    these aren't the dream homes. these are the things people who can't afford their dream homes but feel entitled to the illusion of lasting wealth have slapped together

    Macaroni and Cliches Of course! But not everyone can afford to hire an architect or go through the headaches of a custom builder, so they opt to compromise and end up ‘settling’ for their dream home

    You don't need custom architects for houses. Mass-produced houses can be made to a high quality, high cultural and high class standard. Look at any suburban house tract in Germany or Belgium

    This woman is hitting the nail on the head. She is absolutely correct in her analysis. Yes, McMansions are ugly and stupid and yes I owned one that was 5,000 SF and will never repeat that mistake again.

    Biggest thing for me is how they are all "open concept" which in a house that size only works if you live in California or Florida since anywhere else needs way more energy to heat up.

    @@nubreed13 Open concept only makes a difference in heating bills if you aggressively zone heating and cooling in a more closed-off house. Most people's heating systems are oversized for their entire house, much less a single bedroom, so aggressive zoning leads to short cycling and lower efficiency.
