The shell of the house is interesting and I like the roof terrace too. But the interior design, most of the fittings and the lack of windows are most unpleasant.

I thought most of the photos had been shit in greyscale until I saw the red cushions. Ugh. How unwelcoming.

Urg. that's one of those places that is so colourless that you first think all the photos are in black and white.

The roof terrace is the only redeeming feature. I utterly hate the rest of it. :cry: I have no desire to live on the Starship Enterprise.

Also, Carmina Burana playing over the video tour? :mog: Steady on, chaps.

Should be the theme tune to 2001 Space Odyssey.

It looks like a spaceship with its own mortuary.

I don't know what I think about this but I wouldn't want to live there.
It's like a cross between a nuclear bunker and a prison cell.

That toilet and wash hand basin looks exactly like the prison cells on 24 hours in police custody! :shiver:
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Absolutely. No bath and horrible toilets.

I think the thing that annoys me about it is the person who did that to that building is probably incredibly pleased with themselves and thinks they are "stylish". There's no consistency - none of the windows and doors are the same shape. All those weird internal windows. It gets more upsetting every time I look.

Yes yes yes to all the prison cell/Patrick Bateman vibes! I’m quite baffled by the enormous sofa positioned for viewing someone doing bench presses.
