Last year, Kate Wagner of McMansion Hell introduced us to the concept of the McModern, a new, larger, glass-enclosed version of the mid-century modern home built for rich people, but not designed as well as the originals. She now shows us the perfect example, a home for sale for $6 million, and she hates it.
Wagner hates this home because it is totally form over function. And the form isn't even all that great, as the rooms are a postmodernist vision built of fake materials. It may look like concrete, but it's a printed surface on something else. Stone is made of aluminum. Everything is too big because that means more expensive. And it resembles an institution of some sort. Even the staging is fake, with furniture Photoshopped in, giving the illusion of a house made of artificial intelligence.
You might like this home at first glance, but the more you see, the less you want to consider living there. And Wagner's poetic critique will help you recognize what is wrong with such houses forever after.
