I have a feeling this was a kids room. Y'all are harsh, this would be dope as hell for a kid.

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Heck, this would be dopes as hell as an adult

It would be amazing if you were on two or three marijuanas.

The more I look at this, the more I like it.

No matter how closely I study it No matter how I take it apart No matter how I break it down It remains consistent I wish you were here to see it!

The dimensions of Gilman's attic room are unusual and seem to conform to a kind of unearthly geometry. Gilman theorizes that the structure can enable travel from one plane or dimension to another.

There it is, saved me having to do it.

[–] Patch 42 points 1 year ago (6 children)

There's so much to dislike, but I think the thing that irrationally bugs me the most is the fact that they chose a 6 panel door and just chopped the top off it right through the panels. Instead of, you know, just buying a different kind of door.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and it opens right into an open stair... that's a tripping hazard.

[–] victron@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also the door position relative to the stairs. It's horrible and even dangerous.

That door doesn’t fit the opening.

It’s too narrow and the angle at the top is wrong.

Ngl, I kinda like it lol. As a kid I would have wanted a room like this so bad.

[–] hakase@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it bad that I would legitimately love to live there?

[–] SomeoneElseMod 8 points 1 year ago

Of course not! It takes all sorts... 😉

[–] Philote@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Y’all are harsh. This looks like someone optimized the architecture of the space as best as possible. The only thing that bothers me is the choice of door where it’s chopping the panels awkwardly.

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Without being able to see the other side, the door swing direction bugs me too. Like why does it open to the middle of the room blocking the stairs there, instead of towards the wall? Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Probably a kids room + upscale attic.

[–] chaples55@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Probably so that the 3 hinges can be at the standard heights on the tall side of the door. The short side would have cut off the top hinge. But yeah, would have been nicer to chisel out custom spacing for the hinges on the short side

[–] Falafels@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would look better but the tall end of the door would be smacking into the sloped ceiling constantly?

Another benefit to the way it hinges is it is much safer with respect to the stairs behind it, since people don't typically walk through doors close to the hinge.

I really want to see more angles of this room. It's so weird, and I just want to understand how weird.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

There's a lot of angles already in the picture, you want more?

[–] bemenaker@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

My kids would love it.

Why are there stairs and a ladder right next to each other?

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

For people who can't choose.

[–] crossmr@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you talking about going from the landing up? I don't think those are more stairs on the left. That's the ceiling over the stairs outside the room. You go up the short stairs to the hybrid stairs/ladder to get to the loft area.

What if two people what to go up at the same time? :D

[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Escher-esque

[–] just_chill@jlai.lu 6 points 1 year ago

So that's what all the McMansions look like underneath the weird rooves.... that's interesting I guess, but the door has a different angle than the roof (maybe it fits the roff on the other side?). I don't hate it, but I wouldn't want it either.

I already have a headache and this didn't help at all.

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A weird room. A weird room with corners everywhere. The corners everywhere made me crazy.
