Fake building

A fake building (also known as a fake house, false-front house, fake façade, or transformer house in specific situations) is a usually governmental building, structure, or public utility housing that uses urban and/or suburban camouflage to disguise equipment and city infrastructure facilities that are aesthetically unpleasing in non-industrial neighborhoods. These buildings are commonly found in residential towns and cities, where they blend in with the surrounding architecture and hide the presence of manufactured equipment.
