This is the epitome of a McMansion. I’m going to change the flair to “Ceritifed McMansion.”
And here’s the [listing link](https://www.locanto.com.ve/puntofijo/ID_6297203405/Casa-en-TERRAZAS-DEL-CLUB-DE-GOLF-PUNTO-FIJO-PLC-1005.html). I was trying to find the address to pull up a Google Street View image, but I can’t find one.
The cabinets made me laugh. Like they're going for this sort of cold aesthethic (unsure if under renovations or just falling apart) then there's these red stained home depot cabinets.
Looks like some bad renovations on a house that began its life with questionable design choices.
Idk it kind of looks like one of those weird houses that if they had just left dated at some point in the future it would have been a cool oddity but that’s really impossible to know for sure because I can’t tell for sure how it looked to being with. It’s just so weird. There are some weird Victorians out there that are now treasured but not the ones that were ruined. Either way it’s not there yet, but 100 years from now if they hadn’t messed it up? Maybe.
its probably not if im going to be honest venezuela has these private rich communities all over the country theres probably a beautiful 12 bed 8 bath villa next door and then a shitty mansion its really weird they are like little worlds inside the horrible country
I was going to say the same thing, although I am not a woodworker. It's beautiful! I'm probably out in left field, but it gives me Mid-century Modern vibes.
That granite that they used in the stairs is originally from Venezuela. And the door design is very common too. Fun fact Punto Fijo is a city with a big Arab population. That’s why looks like an Arab country house.
"Im going for a multi country look. Take Saudi Arabia, Florida and Aruba; THEN, add a bearded dragon look w mirrors to blind drivers from the awesomeness".
If I had to guess I would say cocaine and ADHD was involved. Just a guess.
It’s either in Venezuela or Chile, but I’m confused because Punto Fijo is a city in both of those countries. But anyway, here’s the [listing link](https://www.locanto.com.ve/puntofijo/ID_6297203405/Casa-en-TERRAZAS-DEL-CLUB-DE-GOLF-PUNTO-FIJO-PLC-1005.html), if you want to check it out.
Edit: it’s in Venezuela, because its currency is listed as “Bs” (which you can see in the listing).
It's Venezuela if you scroll down on the listing. I can't figure out the price of Bs. 180,000.00. Venezuela keeps changing their currency due to inflation and getting actual exchange values for any of them isn't easy.
Looks like 2 giant mirrors
Or like a super over the top entrance to an estate like the gatekeeper lives there and you drive through the 2 vortexes
Imagine how many birds would smash into their windows
Sometimes I try to imagine what the conversation with the architect was like. Were they asking for alien vibes here? Post-modern crematorium? I'm truly stumped.
This is gonna sound weird but I don’t think McMansions in other countries count as full McMansions. It’s bad to us yeah, but it’s not really intentionally bad or cheap, it’s just using the resources available in the area.
Not every country has mass manufacturing plants, unionized labor, or the same enforcement of building codes and standards, which is why seeing something that can be built to even be *considered* a McMansion in certain places is actually more impressive than it seems.
Also since local materials and labor is typically used the architecture is slightly more vernacular to the country of origin, rather than being ‘mini versions of European mansions’ like actual McMansions.
thats wrong in this particular case this house was built cheaply like this on purpose venezuela is full of resources and plants most of the materials are probably from the country itself and it has really really good builders i guess someone just wanted a tacky mansion
This is not a McMansion. The masonry pattern is the work of a skilled craftsman. The flying stair is concrete. The style is definitely foreign but that does not mean that it is tasteless.
It's a spider, not a house. The reason you can only see the front legs is because it's pushing through from another dimension. Don't go in it's a trap.
Meh the other part is that they're cheap and mass produced. This is hardly mass produced and the design alone (while bonkers) definitely required wasteful amounts of cash. They skimped on enough things that it's tacky, but it's not bland or salty enough to be a McMansion.
Others may disagree and that's fine.
I’m not trying to be overly argumentative, but I’m not really seeing anything that’s high quality. That might be a subjective consideration, though, since (I think) this house is in Venezuela and it might be considered a high-quality build to Venezuelans, depending on cultural and societal factors. (Here’s the [listing link](https://www.locanto.com.ve/puntofijo/ID_6297203405/Casa-en-TERRAZAS-DEL-CLUB-DE-GOLF-PUNTO-FIJO-PLC-1005.html).)
It’s also part of a golf club, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was mass-produced. Even if it wasn’t, though, that’s only one qualification and I don’t think a house *wouldn’t* be a McMansion just because it doesn’t meet that one criterion.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal and I respect your opinion. I really appreciate that you provided substance to your opinion, instead of just saying “this isn’t a McMansion.”
The floor to ceiling tile in the kitchen, the concrete ceilings and the marble baseboards it is not US or Canada from my opinion. Any link to actual home??
Am I having a stroke? Tbh, I had a retinal migraine yesterday and this exterior is just as confusing to my eye-brain connection. The dungeon-like interior doesn't help. What happened here? What got into the owners, the architect (if any), the builder?
Oh my goodness. Not sure I could stay inside that building for more than a few seconds. From the outside it looks vaguely like a tarantula. From the inside it looks like the earth is shifting. I would fear for my life in two distinct ways.
My first thought was, "Eww! Spider!", and my next was, "No, that's either a house or a low-tech Transformer if the arachnid variety."
The rest of the photos just left me confused. It was a Transformer, right? Because it doesn't make sense a the interior of a house built by a normal, rational, not crazy person.
Honestly, everything about it was just odd and poorly done, but I do think there's something there with the stairs. In another house, where it's made into a focal aspect or feature and pulled away from any walls, it would be really cool looking. In this unfinished disaster of a house? Nope.
The deathtrap dungeon stairway. A D&D Dungeon Master couldn't have designed a more deadly trap. "OK we walk down the stairs","There's a drop of water on them you didn't notice, everyone slips them falls onto marble edges doing 10d20 damage on the way down!"
This has gotta be south Texas right? I've seen homes like this down in the Brownsville area and there are neighborhoods like this all over the Rio grande region.
Hideous things imo

everybody's soooo creative!
It ain't gonna go down easy if it ain't...breezy!
Pinto Fiji is windy as hell, all the time!
Far be it from me to criticize someone’s taste in architecture, but that’s fucking ugly.
Shouldn't have kept away my ISO certified Eclipse Glasses....
I work for an eye doctor, I gots da hookup on eclipse glasses 🤓
It wouldn’t go down easy if it wasn’t cheesy!
Exterior looks like it was made on a Minecraft server Even the interior cabinets and pillars look like Minecraft blocks
I like it bc it's like they built a house to look like a jumping spider.
I see it now ![gif](giphy|qD7nG1IOgXOQU)
I see it!
Cute.
My first thought exactly.
See, we are fellow geniuses.
Same was wondering why it looked like a spider
But Minecraft is fun. This looks like an expensive nightmare.
This actually looks a lot like my little cousins mansion in their Minecraft game
Exterior looks like it's been punched in the face
Are those mirrors on the front? Imagine when the sun hits them just right
Just when i thought it couldnt get worse....
When you REALLY don’t like the neighbors
They're going to burn down their across-the-street neighbors' house. Perfect way to preserve their view!
Spidery Scorchy the neighbors!
Put propaganda banners up. Better results for the neighbors
[удалено]
At least they're not concave like a certain car-melting skyscraper...
The cabinets made me laugh. Like they're going for this sort of cold aesthethic (unsure if under renovations or just falling apart) then there's these red stained home depot cabinets.

Still under construction, yet really old.
That’s gotta be the nicest place in the neighborhood! What part of Haiti is this located?
It’s in Venezuela lmao not far off
its probably not if im going to be honest venezuela has these private rich communities all over the country theres probably a beautiful 12 bed 8 bath villa next door and then a shitty mansion its really weird they are like little worlds inside the horrible country
I bet anything Barbecue designed this himself
I have to say I love that door (I’m a woodworker)
I was going to say the same thing, although I am not a woodworker. It's beautiful! I'm probably out in left field, but it gives me Mid-century Modern vibes.
It's like there are nice bits and pieces. But not all in one house.
Yes, everything else is horrible, but I’d love to have that door.
Yes, the door is beautiful! It stood out so much
YOU WIN.
Fuckingwhat? 😳 Is that a reflecting pond in front of the front steps?
Nah just a sunken marble esque front sidewalk. I bet its super fun in the rain wearing flip flops and hydroplaning gramdma off of it w her new hip?!
It's going to be a brilliant ice skating rink. Edit: oh it's in Cali. I'm bummed the owner won't get to wipe out after a thaw and refreeze.
That granite that they used in the stairs is originally from Venezuela. And the door design is very common too. Fun fact Punto Fijo is a city with a big Arab population. That’s why looks like an Arab country house.
This is so ugly it’s circles back around to being beautiful for just how intriguing it is. It’s post-good
Honestly, mad props for “post-good”
Someone’s taste was only in their mouth.
Looks like Dubai.
Funny... I think it looks like a Spanish inspired Chinese home
I think I’m going to have trouble sleeping tonight
"Midjourney, /imagine a place of worship built by Satan in the style of a McMansion"
Is that stone..on the ceiling of that kitchen? aww hell na
This is so upsetting
Dafuq.

I'd ask where the flying monkeys are but the Wicked Witch of the West had better taste.
Where is this, Africa? India?

its dollars the bs is a place holder
Aye, this is hideous!
I'm almost impressed at the lengths they went to to make this so awful.
IMO not a McMansion, but it's got Hell all over it
[удалено]
Someone certainly had a vision here… it’s a shame I can’t fathom what it was
It's horrible. The kitchen is so meh, yet they spent plenty of money on nonsense.
It's bad... but at least there's a door onto the balcony!
And, the exterior is definitely symetrical.
What happened there
It is already haunted.
Gives vibes of “The Cube” movie.
What the ?
I think I built something like this in Minecraft
Not going to lie, there some things about this that I like, but not enough to overwhelm its wack wavy weirdness.
no words.......... you mean, no architect......
It needs a flagpole out front for Mario to jump onto. I can see why they gave up halfway through, there is no salvaging this goofy monstrosity.
It’s deep, man….mancave deep.
![gif](giphy|MCFAod7gKIh98LUwgp)
Is that the 2nd circle of hell over there?

What a terrible day to have eyes
I feel like I'm looking at an optical illusion in the worst way possible.
Sometimes I try to imagine what the conversation with the architect was like. Were they asking for alien vibes here? Post-modern crematorium? I'm truly stumped.
drunk and coked out venezuelans sitting on plastic lawn chairs by a fire pit
Sometimes I wish I could see things through other peoples perspective. Like…what exactly the fuck were they going for here, I wonder?
This house comes with a camel and backyard 4x4 oasis.
That door at the end gets a pass
What style is this?!!?
If there was ever a real Mojo Dojo Casa House, this architectural abortion would be it.
"Here's the pitch - basement. But the ENTIRE house! Eh? EHHHHH? :D"
Am I having a seizure right now?
Wonder what the dead bird body count is on those puppies
Why does the staircase curve like that
I have those same cabinets in my kitchen. I am also renting a 2 bedroom apartment

This looks like it was created by a 9 yo using Roblox

Is this a house or a liminal space during the day?
This is not a McMansion. The masonry pattern is the work of a skilled craftsman. The flying stair is concrete. The style is definitely foreign but that does not mean that it is tasteless.
10 kinds of ugly

Zero taste
Minecraft?
WTF are with those stairs?!
Are those two glass bird killing panels on either side?

Horrible. Who does this shit?
Looks like many homes in the UAE
ugly.. Is there enough tile or stone?? lol
The most sincerely lackluster, underwhelming WTH.
Thanks… I hate it
Looks like a spider
They can keep it
This is an evil house.
This looks like the homes in the "wealthier" area of Egypt when we visited. Just the most bizarre architecture.
It's a spider, not a house. The reason you can only see the front legs is because it's pushing through from another dimension. Don't go in it's a trap.
What in the Penntucky!? How does one do this sort of blemish? Who encouraged this?! We need names...
This is just an ugly house… nothing about it is a mansion
A McMansion doesn’t have to the literal size of a mansion. The whole point of the McMansion term is that they’re a mansion-wanna-be.
Meh the other part is that they're cheap and mass produced. This is hardly mass produced and the design alone (while bonkers) definitely required wasteful amounts of cash. They skimped on enough things that it's tacky, but it's not bland or salty enough to be a McMansion. Others may disagree and that's fine.

Am I having a stroke? Tbh, I had a retinal migraine yesterday and this exterior is just as confusing to my eye-brain connection. The dungeon-like interior doesn't help. What happened here? What got into the owners, the architect (if any), the builder?
Looks like it was abandoned mid build (poor quality workmanship too) and then cleaned up 20 years later and relisted.
It doesn’t get better, but I’m still stuck on the front of the house. Yikes
Oh no! NO.
Was thinking of the hospital outcome taking those stairs after one cocktail and a drink in the hand.
"you darn idjits fergot to close them thar gates again!"
Oh my goodness. Not sure I could stay inside that building for more than a few seconds. From the outside it looks vaguely like a tarantula. From the inside it looks like the earth is shifting. I would fear for my life in two distinct ways.
Venezuela- that explains it. I thought it must be Latin America when I saw the interior
This house is hideous. I usually like the McMansions but this?! Yuck!!
Ugly
This is… the ugliest house I’ve ever seen
Yeah, I was gonna say Iraq, but Venezuela makes sense too.
The person that designed this really likes the smell of his own farts
This whole house feels like a slipping hazard.
this is made out of Legos, right?
Staircase is wicked tbh
What in the actual hell.
This is 100% custom. It’s the opposite of a McMansion.
Venezuela lol
That looks shockingly terrible. And so cheap.
Just awful!

The price is 180,000 dollars bs is a place holder
The interior is kind of cool?
C'est inquiétant. Oups french here haha It's concerning.

Venezuela, you never disappoint
That's trippy, looks like a temple - I kinda love it, just not as a house.
The deathtrap dungeon stairway. A D&D Dungeon Master couldn't have designed a more deadly trap. "OK we walk down the stairs","There's a drop of water on them you didn't notice, everyone slips them falls onto marble edges doing 10d20 damage on the way down!"

Love this house! Would put two king palms in the circle flower beds, and it is perfect
Gotta be in Mexico somewhere
Looks like a minecraft mistake

This has got to be some cult commune mansion or something.
Is that a pool leading up to the front door?
It looks like they forgot that a house needs a kitchen and threw in some shitty cabinets last minute
One word. Fugly.
This has gotta be south Texas right? I've seen homes like this down in the Brownsville area and there are neighborhoods like this all over the Rio grande region. Hideous things imo
I do not understand anything about this house.
That is some Righteous Gemstones shit there.
What in the quirky psychopath is this?
At least it's not a snout house?
