伪豪宅

伪豪宅相对于真正的豪宅是以廉价建材和手工大量建造再以高价销售的住宅，其内外的装潢都被设计师和媒体批评为庸俗浮夸，甚至违反实用和审美将不搭调的建筑元素东拼西凑^[1]。

美国

在美国，用来标签伪豪宅的时髦名词“McMansion”（麦豪宅）始见于1980年代媒体以形容市郊住宅区那些占地庞大的低俗大宅^[2]，其后迅速被主流媒体如洛杉矶时报^[3]^[4]和纽约时报^[5]借用。这个新词相信是结合了连锁快餐厅麦当劳各餐的开头“Mc（麦）”和“Mansion（宅邸）”以讽刺这些住宅的质素如同快餐般低廉^[6]。

香港

在香港，伪豪宅亦指那些为了钻建筑条例漏洞却违反实用原则设计、或面积极为细小却包装成豪宅推销的住宅，这类图则（平面图）被香港媒体戏称为“奇则”，取广东话“奇迹”的谐音。
