a Neo-eclectic house

During the late 1960s, a rebellion against modernism and a longing for more traditional styles influenced the design of modest tract housing in North America. Builders began to borrow freely from a variety of historic traditions, offering Neo-eclectic houses that were "customized" using a mixture of features selected from construction catalogs. These homes are sometimes called Postmodern because they borrow from a variety of styles without consideration for continuity or context. However, Neo-eclectic homes are not usually experimental and do not reflect the artistic vision you would find in a truly original, architect-designed postmodern home.Critics use the term McMansion to describe a Neo-eclectic home that is oversized and pretentious.
