Edmonton, Canada - Certified McMansion™

Like someone dropped a White Castle on top of an otherwise ordinary ranch-style house..

I love it. It’s funny, satiric, absurd. The man or family was very obviously aware this was absurd and did it anyways. He did it also for his kids and for a fun experience.

It’s the opposite of the kind of criticism you would level at McMansions, which is that they’re cheap displays of wealth that are excessive.

It reminds me of the shark in Oxford https://www.headington.org.uk/shark/

I like it.

McMansions are when someone tries to make a relatively cheap house look like a mansion. They take themselves seriously. This is obviously a fun addition, not something serious.

He gets a pass if he keeps adding on more castle bits until it's a full exterior including moat.

This is the opposite of a soulless display of wealth. It was built without regard to fashion, taste, or prestige, instead for love of family and personal creative desire. The fact that one of the kids it was built for still lives and works there says a lot to me. This is why I'm glad not everywhere is an HOA

Eh. Edmonton's full of actual McMansions. This is just a bungalow style house with a small amusement park dropped on top of it.

The homeowner should make it more authentic by installing a shit tower, and by ripping out the plumbing/electrical. Which will also make room for the all the mites and their faithful fleas.

Edit: a word

It looks McDiculous.

Dad: I want a house.

Family: We want a castle.

Dad: (creates this thing)

thats on another level, like 2 more levels

The thumbnail made me think that was a picture from Minecraft lmao

I kind of love it. Like it is hideous but it is kinda cool too. Beats every other cookie cutter house.

Most of the time, I'm willing to leave these alone. People want to spend their money on houses that aren't my taste, sure, whatever.

But this? Ew. Ew ew ewwww.

Sadly, shit like this is why HOAs exist although I hate them vehemently

Ayyy home town made it on McMansions 😎

I will not complain about a house with actual personality in the suburbs. This isn’t my personal preference, but it’s delightful.

You're right. That isn't good. That is amazing.
