Thank you Lilith, I had missed seeing that previous thread.....
Puppy, I wonder if you might find what your looking for here:
big hair house
(BIG.hayr hows) n. A house that has a garish style and that is overly large compared to its lot size and to the surrounding houses.
Example Citation:
Yet the newest residential rage in Dallas is the antithesis of the traditional neighborhood: the gated community. Depending on your income and level of anxiety, these private enclaves may contain golf courses, health clubs and equestrian centers, surrounded by big hair houses of indecipherable pedigree and protected round the clock by cameras and private police.
—David Dillon, "Where we live: Dallas' neighborhoods," The Dallas Morning News, May 2, 1999
