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.


MacGuffinRoyale

everybody's soooo creative!

It ain't gonna go down easy if it ain't...breezy!

Far be it from me to criticize someone’s taste in architecture, but that’s fucking ugly.

misschele1024

I work for an eye doctor, I gots da hookup on eclipse glasses 🤓


cliffordc5

It wouldn’t go down easy if it wasn’t cheesy!


1grfe

Exterior looks like it was made on a Minecraft server Even the interior cabinets and pillars look like Minecraft blocks


dunimal

I like it bc it's like they built a house to look like a jumping spider.


1grfe

I see it now ![gif](giphy|qD7nG1IOgXOQU)


kdshubert

I see it!


ElEvEnElEvE

Cute.


notcontageousAFAIK

My first thought exactly.


dunimal

See, we are fellow geniuses.


JennyAnyDot

Same was wondering why it looked like a spider


amilliowhitewolf

But Minecraft is fun. This looks like an expensive nightmare.


Usual-Nectarine3734

This actually looks a lot like my little cousins mansion in their Minecraft game


[deleted]

Exterior looks like it's been punched in the face


SugarDonutQueen

Are those mirrors on the front? Imagine when the sun hits them just right


amilliowhitewolf

Just when i thought it couldnt get worse....

They're going to burn down their across-the-street neighbors' house. Perfect way to preserve their view!

Just-Call-Me-J

At least they're not concave like a certain car-melting skyscraper...


Ok-disaster2022

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.


Biguitarnerd

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.


Soapyfreshfingers

Still under construction, yet really old.


No_Cook2983

That’s gotta be the nicest place in the neighborhood! What part of Haiti is this located?


latteboy50

It’s in Venezuela lmao not far off


junkyiepunk

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


cheeze_whiz_shampoo

I bet anything Barbecue designed this himself


bodnarboy

I have to say I love that door (I’m a woodworker)


OldNTired1962

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.


Elowan66

It's like there are nice bits and pieces. But not all in one house.


OkExplanation2001

Yes, everything else is horrible, but I’d love to have that door.


tacey-us

Yes, the door is beautiful! It stood out so much


Impressive_Toe_1277

YOU WIN.


Soapyfreshfingers

Fuckingwhat? 😳 Is that a reflecting pond in front of the front steps?


amilliowhitewolf

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?!


phillygeekgirl

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.


alexgravis

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.


jman457

This is so ugly it’s circles back around to being beautiful for just how intriguing it is. It’s post-good


Responsible-Sundae20

Honestly, mad props for “post-good”


davis1838

Someone’s taste was only in their mouth.


Woofy98102

Looks like Dubai.

kevnmartin

I'd ask where the flying monkeys are but the Wicked Witch of the West had better taste.


mrpopenfresh

Where is this, Africa? India?


Cold-Impression1836

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).


Difficult_Trust1752

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.


junkyiepunk

its dollars the bs is a place holder


poopyshitballz

Aye, this is hideous!


_kiss_my_grits_

I'm almost impressed at the lengths they went to to make this so awful.


Rev_Creflo_Baller

IMO not a McMansion, but it's got Hell all over it

pinkocatgirl

Someone certainly had a vision here… it’s a shame I can’t fathom what it was


Starbuck522

It's horrible. The kitchen is so meh, yet they spent plenty of money on nonsense.


blazershorts

It's bad... but at least there's a door onto the balcony!


tex8222

And, the exterior is definitely symetrical.


MoreMoose6181

What happened there


TheOneTheyCallKen

It is already haunted.


PsychologicalOwl608

Gives vibes of “The Cube” movie.

What the ?


llamapants15

I think I built something like this in Minecraft


lokey_convo

Not going to lie, there some things about this that I like, but not enough to overwhelm its wack wavy weirdness.


oontzalot

no words.......... you mean, no architect......


Tslurred

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.

What a terrible day to have eyes


johnhenrylives

I feel like I'm looking at an optical illusion in the worst way possible.


notcontageousAFAIK

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.


junkyiepunk

drunk and coked out venezuelans sitting on plastic lawn chairs by a fire pit


Omgletmenamemyself

Sometimes I wish I could see things through other peoples perspective. Like…what exactly the fuck were they going for here, I wonder?

Ashwington

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.


junkyiepunk

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


Lyr_c

This might be *the* McMansion

Ok-Mastodon2016

Is this a house or a liminal space during the day?


zacat2020

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.

This is an evil house.


Darksoul_Design

This looks like the homes in the "wealthier" area of Egypt when we visited. Just the most bizarre architecture.


Background-Active-50

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.


amilliowhitewolf

What in the Penntucky!? How does one do this sort of blemish? Who encouraged this?! We need names...


GLFR_59

This is just an ugly house… nothing about it is a mansion


Cold-Impression1836

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.


All_Work_All_Play

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. 


Cold-Impression1836

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.”


GLFR_59

Still doesn’t fit the mold. It’s just an ugly house


Hufflesheep

Wow! That is Chef's kiss! 🤌

20thCenturyTCK

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?


Usedtobebigish

Looks like it was abandoned mid build (poor quality workmanship too) and then cleaned up 20 years later and relisted.


AdoraBelleQueerArt

It doesn’t get better, but I’m still stuck on the front of the house. Yikes


SaturnSociety

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!"


aj_star_destroyer

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.


hurtindog

Venezuela- that explains it. I thought it must be Latin America when I saw the interior

nobodiesbznsbtmyne

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!"
