Money can't buy good taste. Big ugly houses coming up everywhere. Super sized bad architecture.

It actually makes me angry when I see an embarrassingly oversized ugly house that has wasted a nice piece of land.

And which category this one will fit in?

Someone liked windows in Paris, just stuck em on.

What does the well designed house look like?

That's not supersized. They get a pass, they didn't spend huge amounts of money to make it ugly. They don't have the money to make it pretty.

That's the thing with these giant fugly houses. Clearly the homeowners could have hired a good architect if they wanted. But like OP says, money can't buy you taste.

It is amazing how some of these houses, especially the McCraftsmans, look normal from the front, but they are one gigantic flat aluminum siding fortress with a few windows on the side. So tacky!

I've seen the type of design in Annandale. It appeals to foreigners who wants to load a bunch of family members into one house. Makes it easy to divide the space equally. It's purposeful.

Ostentatious, flagrant mixing of styles, over stated, over sized, poor design. Is this a dream house or just another nightmare on Geo'town Pike?

Some people have more money than good taste, but they can afford to hire an architect with vision. Why don't they leave design to a talented professional?

That's because you are looking at the stuff on Georgetown Pike. No one builds a nice house on a main road.

Because starting a new thread every other week complaining about big houses is so original?
