Worst of McMansions — McMansions 101: What Makes a McMansion Bad... I get a lot of emails these days, (a good thing!)
And a lot of them involve people sending me links to houses (or pictures of their own) asking me whether or not the house in question is or is not a McMansion. This post aims to explain the important differences between the two. Part Two will make examples of specific houses (including houses that teeter on the line between mansion and McMansion) and explain why they are one vs the other. For the purpose of clarity, I have omitted modernist and postmodernist houses from this guide. That’s a whole different can of worms that I’ll eventually address in its own post. First off, Treetop Tiny Houses with Private Skatepark. On March 10, 2015 If you absolutely love tiny houses, tree houses, cabins, forts, and skateboarding or BMX’ing then you’re in for a real treat right now because here are a couple of tiny houses up in the tree tops with a personal skatepark right on the property.
This place is called The Cinder Cone. It consists of two main treehouse cabins which connect to each other with a bridge. Everything is custom designed and built for the property. Below, and directly in view from the treetop cabins, is where the private skatepark is located. And did I mention the treetop deck with the hot tub?

For the simplicity of the structure, there is something fantastical about the Tintaldra Cabin.
It sits in an open field near the Murray River in Victoria, Australia, and every window frames a different landscape. Out one large picture window are the dramatic Australian Alps; rolling hills soften to an open forest in the back; uniform grassland rounds the other sides of the home. Designed and built by Modscape, an Australian modular home builder, the Tintaldra Cabin is a part-time residence for an owner who was seeking a low maintenance house.
Solar panels, a water collection system, a wood-burning stove, and septic tank keep it operational off-the-grid. From the nearest road, the prefabricated, modular cabin takes the look of shed.

The Hut on Sleds On the shore of an idyllic white sanded beach in New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula rests an elegant hut. Closed up, the rough macrocarpa-cladding blends into the landscape and perches quietly on the dunes, as passersby wonder how it could possibly function for a family of five. Designed to close up against the elements, the hut measures a mere 40 square metres and rests on two thick wooden sleds that allow it to be shifted around the beach front section. This innovative portability is a response to the ever changing landscape that line the beachfront in this coastal erosion zone. Within the hut, the ingenuity reveals itself further as no nook or cranny is overlooked.
