[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcmansion means duplicated style brick front vinyl siding 5000sf+ tract homes. Usually found in Ashburn. People are stupid and call anything new this. They are stupid. Ignore architects they think the modern box homes that no consumer wants is the best.[/quote] Keep trying![/quote] No. I agree with the previous poster. McMansion is so commonly thrown around that it now simply means a new house you don't like. I've seen 3k sqft houses called McMansions. I've seen beautiful, architecturally designed houses appropriately scaled for the historic neighborhood it was built in McMansions. I've seen contemporary houses called McMansions. I've seen neo-Traditionals called McMansions. I've seen craftsmen called McMansions. I've seen just about all kinds of new houses called McMansions. McMansions used to mean those large 4+k sqft houses crammed on small lots in the outer suburbs, built cheaply, incorporating elements like bridal staircases, two story foyers and wasteful unused spaces, but no more. It simply means a new house you don't like. [/quote]
