McMansions: Crimes Against Architecture
From the 1990s to mid-2000s, cookie-cutter suburban homes known as McMansions soared in popularity in neighborhoods across the country. But now the once popular design for home building is being deemed out of style and ugly, as the premiums paid for McMansions declined significantly in 85 of the country’s biggest cities, according to a report from Bloomberg. With the decline in sales of McMansions over the years, an architect has pointed out all that is seemingly wrong with the homes on a blog titled ‘Worst of McMansions‘. The site, which is authored by an architect who simply calls herself ‘Kate’, was created in late July and chronicles how McMansions are not balanced homes as they often have flaws including inconsistent window sizes, gables of contrasting style and dormers.
