Q&A: Ask the Building Expert

Question: What is a monster house?

Answer: A "monster house" typically refers to an overly large, out-of-place home constructed in a neighborhood with smaller, more modest properties. These houses often maximize the lot space, towering over adjacent homes and disrupting the community's architectural harmony. While building larger homes isn't inherently negative, it's essential to consider the neighborhood's character, zoning laws, and building codes to avoid turning a property into a "monster house" that causes concerns among neighbors and local authorities.
