[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out “McMansion Hell”. It’s hilarious and does a great job of explaining why certain builds just look completely incongruous and others are “beautiful.” [/quote]

It is mostly just a snarky website where a woman insults houses.

Many people cannot afford an architect and custom home builder. Many people do not care about these things. Many people just want enough space for their kids to have a bedroom and somewhere to play.

The woman who runs the website is just being a jerk. [/quote]

No, there are actual architectural principles explaining why some houses are ugly or not, and she does a great job explaining them. For example:

You don't have to agree with her on everything (I don't) but it is overall an educated and principled approach. It's just easier to read than a textbook.

Most people buy houses that aren't custom, which is why poor design is so inexcusable. A builder or professional architect should understand these principles, but so many don't even try. It's not the buyer's fault. [/quote]
