I believe the answer is:

mock tudor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'architectural style' is the definition.

'laugh at house's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'house' could be 'tudor' (royal house) and 'tudor' is found in the answer.
'laugh at' could be 'mock' and 'mock' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
