imagine having an ego so huge that it just completely destroys your desire, nay, your ability to enjoy common, simple pleasures.

i feel like stairs-into-glass-wall house and barndos are closer in spirit than one might suppose

NO

map could be on to something here.

I'd watch videos about planning and building the perfect stairway house.

jfc just build an apartment bldg

amazing! get 40 people together and you've got a $200 a month mortgage!

Did this belong to one of those couples who adopt like, thirty kids?

(nothing against adoption obviously! just it feels like this odd mix of "domestic space" and "letting people have their own adult space" and "we need room in the kitchen for 15 people to circulate" etc.)

...............Huh. It looks like a retreat center, tbh?

Oh duh TOTALLY

Or like supportive rehab/housing for relatively well off ppl who can afford some kind of residential care.

I get so excited when this thread pops up!

oops, that should be

I felt like the rec room and pool table and the, like, bland hotel vibe were working against the "extremely religiously observant family cult compound" idea, although thank you, I did understand what you meant by polyg.

i see, gotcha

that is bleak as hell

poly ceiling fans definitely.

i've seen some polyg compound exteriors and interiors in my day and to be fair, that is a very upscale one.

Also it has a commercial kitchen including a commercial dishwasher, I will double down on "religious retreat" if I have to.

Why would a residence have those little cardboard signs on the nightstand?

Wait, I'm so confused by the stairway house -- so you don't actually use that stairway to go up and down floors? Is there another hidden stairwell or elevator or something? And someone thought it was a good use of limited space to just waste a fuckton of it with non-functional concrete steps?

that seems to be the only possible explanation. seriously the dumbest house.

huh you guys are complicating my polyg compound narrative. maybe it was bought and remodeled into something else? no way that was built from scratch for non-polygamy-compound reasons in hurricane, utah.

This image kind of says it all

it does look like the windows open to allow a person to pass through, at least? i think you can technically use the stairs to get from floor to floor, it's just that doing so would make you spontaneously combust from pretentiousness.

Horror movie vibes.

There's a hidden stairwell underneath the giant ornamental stairs.

oh yeah those are doors, didn't realize. the angle of the stairs makes it look like many people would trip going outside that way.

And yeah, the wasted space is awful. WTF is this room? How is this pleasant in any way?

just needs some rock climbing holds

I think I'll just have a seat here next to a parking garage, relax a bit.

I'm pretty sure some rooms have floor-to-ceiling glass windows keeping you from walking right off the edge and falling onto the useless cement stairs. Also god forbid you have to pick your nose because absolutely everyone is going to witness it.

oh god, that solitary chair looks like a place to wait to die

None of it made any sense to me until I saw the shot from the alley and then i could at least see why it was angled the way it is.

a liiiiittle outside of what the thread is generally for but: ""Selling world wide clowns collection, due to illness collected over 30 years, must take complete collection,southwestern Ontario Canada 5000 plus clowns cash and carry"

30 years of collected illness is a little on the nose

lol at 30 yrs of collected illness

the precious moments mansion is just an incredible monument to narcissism, there's so much of it but it's really amazing how banal it all is.

There are some rooms in it that were so close to being nice, but they went all corporate retreat center instead
