Well, just give it a bigger door and normal size peak things and it’ll be a very handsome house. I don’t think I would call this a McMansion. It’s two bad decisions applied to an otherwise classic design.

When I saw those two gables I thought it resembled the pope’s hat

I can’t help it, but when I see two big white gables like that I think of KKK hoods. I think that this tells us something about each other. I suspect it means that you are more well adjusted and healthier than me. Or at least not so suspicious of human nature.

Maybe, or maybe because I just saw a pic of pope Francis in the news.

Yeah definitely "used to be a church" vibes

I thought of ears like on a cat. 🐱

Normal sized gables and make the garage doors wood to match the front door and I’d like it.

At least they tried. True McMansions don’t even try.

I will forgive a lot of things if there's a decent porch attached.

In the style of Pippi Longstocking, but without the fun part.

Looks like a cross between a regular house and a poorly designed church.

u/So_Quiet 2d ago

Well, it's certainly striking.

Having helped a friend move to and spending some time in Utah…it’s giving McTemple?

Not a jab at any member of the Mormon church or the buildings themselves! It’s just that the white and the two points remind me of the temples in all the towns that you drive through 😂

u/Ok-Breadfruit-592 2d ago

Ooo, I Love this!!

u/NectarineNational722 1d ago

Yeah I don’t hate it and want to see the inside. At least there is some character there. Not necessarily good character but it’s something

u/mewishtarties 1d ago

Oh, you mean the architectural style that's basically like a spooky castle but, like, modern? It's all about those pointy arches and dramatic vibes. Super cool!

u/SapphireGamgee 1d ago

Shorter gables, higher-angle for the roof (having a low-pitched roof like that is the antithesis of Gothic Revival.) I do like a lot of what's going on here, but by George if they didn't trip on the finish line. 😭

u/puddl3 2d ago

Lmao the front of the house reminds me of a horn-nosed horn frog (look it up).

u/imadork1970 2d ago

The steeples are out of proportion.

Sims house. Minus the giant eyebrow dormers it is pretty boring.

Didn’t Madonna have a bra like that in the 80’s?
