Photos of mansion with 'horrid' design spark backlash: 'This bad taste is stomach-turning'
Briefly

A Redditor showcased a poorly designed 8,380-square-foot McMansion in Staten Island, emphasizing its excessive and disjointed architectural elements. The house features impractically placed windows, superfluous columns, and an overall gaudy interior. Besides aesthetic shortcomings, McMansions face structural and environmental inefficiencies causing high energy bills and pollution. A potential remedy is the utilization of solar power, which can significantly lower energy costs and carbon footprints. Commenters on the post shared their disdain for the home, highlighting the ongoing financial drain associated with owning a McMansion.
Notable design features include windows of differing sizes and shapes, or that are impractically placed, superfluous columns, strange roof designs, and multiple building materials used in the exterior facade of the house.
Because their designs are more focused on big spaces and less on thoughtful construction, they are woefully inefficient to power, heat, and cool, meaning occupants rack up a massive energy bill just to keep it feeling comfortable.
Solar power would be a solution to this problem. It can reduce monthly energy bills as low as $0 while helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
McMansions are money pits, that's the point. You never get out of the hole its chaos creates. A McMansion.
