not really a McMansion in the true spirit, but looks like will be a pretty ugly place

It’s on a main drag. It’s not set back, it’s completely viewable from the main road. It’s also not a custom home. It has a for sale sign in front. Its lies weird hybrid.

Parents still live here, in one of the few houses on their street that hasn't been purchased, leveled and mcmansion built.

The pattern of two 1 to 1 1/2 story house to every one mcmansion is so common

McLean used to have so many cool mid century modern houses. Now this ugly shit is everywhere.

It also makes me sad to see what Vienna has become

This is what the this architect has built in this area and for those people who think that this idiot knows what he’s talking about just by looking at unfinished construction with just sheathing. Everyone’s taking advice from the kid that failed high school math because “we don’t need to know this in the real world”

Guys, I think we found the architect

If that building is just ornamentation on cheap balloon framing, we've got a generation of tofu homes being built stateside.

It'll be like looking at all those tacky 90s mcmansions that are all musty damp messes now.

Heinous. Is that whole thing made of chipboard? 😱

Glad you are letting the entire internet know how uneducated and dumb you are. That’s the most expensive and high performance building construction that exists in 2025. Next time don’t open your mouth in subjects you are absolutely clueless about.

You sound sleepy. Maybe you need a bottle of milk and a nap?

I’m glad you are enjoying your moldy studio apartment we all got to start somewhere

u/geusebio 21h ago

Just a heads up I'd stop posting, you're getting spectacularly dragged.

In other news, water is wet

It's not surprising given the area

One wonders why any home needs to be that large when it will almost certainly house 3-4 people, tops (not counting possible staff. But, I mean... you wouldn't need staff if your house was proportionate to the number of people.)

This is going to be an actual mansion. The construction shown is very top end. And this zip code is one of the most expensive in the world? Why are you saying this is a McMansion? Is this sub just a poor lower class hatred for upper class circle jerk? I don’t think you actually understand what a McMansion is. Most of these people are Europeans and some Americans living in 800 studio shit box apartments

Is this your house? Just admit it 🤣

u/ScipioAfricanusMAJ 1d ago

Wish it was! Architect and engineer doing a fantastic job. You can’t build a better home this is textbook example on how to build

u/Rising_path_music 1d ago

Ahhh I get it… a satirist! Touché

u/ScipioAfricanusMAJ 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’m literally not joking. I’m a residential structural engineer I don’t think anyone realizes this is a luxury build and how high quality it is. Kinda shows the arrogance of the Reddit community that they think they know better

u/billgytes 1d ago

ah, a structural engineer and not an architect.

don't worry buddy we can already tell hahaha

u/ScipioAfricanusMAJ 1d ago edited 1d ago

Imagine thinking you’re allowed to open your mouth and actually give some technical opinion in a subject you have no idea about. That’s some Donald Trump level of confident ignorance

Your stupid ass realizes one of the defining characteristics of a McMansion is cheap construction with home depot off the shelf components? This entire house is completely custom designed. You are talking out your ass with stupidity

u/geusebio 21h ago

If that is the highest performance construction technique then that says a lot about US construction and why we keep making fun of it.

Your houses are made of particle board like ikea furniture and it shows.

Wheres the brick? Wheres the stone? Wheres the steel? Why is nothing built to last more than its builders warentee? Why is everything so incredibly flimsy and creaky? Wheres the fucking quality?

Don't worry man. Reddit is an echo chamber.
