Kate Wagner at McMansion Hell has found a house that she couldn't help but deconstruct. It isn't a McMansion in the style she normally focuses on (although the interior certainly is), but once it was brought to her attention, the architectural choices demanded examination. The windows don't align in any shape or fashion, and no two of them match. The mishmash of sidings defies logic, as if the aim was farmhouse white trimmed in black but then some other stuff went on sale. The gravel yard is a little strange. But the overarching conundrum is how the designer's avoidance of any roof slope led to the weird mass above the balcony and the abundance of odd cornices. I am curious as to how rain drains off this building.
The asking price for this home is $539,500. The interior is strikingly monochromatic, if you can call gray a color, but the exterior lights up a neon blue at night. Once again, Wagner's takedown of this house caused me to look up a few architectural terms, but you'll get a kick out of it.

Wagner hardly said anything about the interior, but looking at the pictures, it disappoints me that the house has a huge foyer and open plan great room, but when you walk inside, all you see is the staircase right in front of you.
