I'd imagine it's a room to lay Casket's in.

Perfect answer! A domestic funeral parlour.

the stainless steel sanitaryware looks like it should be in a prison.

. . . or public convenience. The views from the terrace over the industrial dereliction of South Tyneside - or into the back-bedrooms of the neighbouring terraced houses - must be quite something of an evening. "Geordie Shore" territory, enough said . . .

The sofa got me. I was just wondering who would sit there. Why would they sit there? Why is there space for so many people?

Think that might be a samsung picture frame TV on the wall.

So the reason everything is pointing at what looks like a picture of a dark void or maybe its a mirror reflecting the souless void of the room

Thats what it is. I was trying to figure that out.

Views, that are best enjoyed during the hours of darkness!

I can't get over this house...

Is this an airport terminal smoking room?

The weird columns, the carpeted steps leading to... what? Are crying cubbies the new crying chairs?

Is the porcelain bathroom carpeted? :eek::eek:

The double shower, for when you want to shower with a friend but not close enough to actually have any fun shared shower activities...

This place got discussed on Kieran Cuddihys slot on Newstalk earlier. A Dublin landlord 'Joe' couldn't see what was wrong with it!!!

Joe is probably the chancer renting it out!

This isn't the right thread but I had a look at one of the Home of The Year judges house on Instagram. It's amazing and I'm filled with envy!

I'm not on Instagram so put up a few screenshots.

Don't worry, we'll come up with some comments ...

I think they were going for the minimal look.

because why have a bed clutter your bedroom when instead you can have a set of awkward steps leading to your sleeping quarters in the wall

I'm not a fan of the cooker or kitchen countertops. Overall it's too fussy for me but it works.

I now want a piano room.

Kitchen and Dining Room don't do it for me. Hall and piano room are lovely!

+1 to this

With so many people living in apartments I wonder would it be an idea if some of the bigger libraries had 'music rooms' that could be booked

Wonder what Catmanic's take on this would be...

Brass fittings back in fashion.
Pain in the hole to keep pristine unless you lacquer them, especially in high moisture area.
The door architrave made from brass is insane!

Any number of halls looking like that in the country.
Cold, draughty ol' places they are too.

Brrrrr

Oh, I can't play!

I just like the look of it.

I'm sure I'd master chopsticks quickly enough though and I could dress up in elegant evening gown and tinkle away.

The photographer could have saved himself a few pennies by simply using monochrome film!
No one would notice.

When was the last time anyone used film for photographs ?

I really like the Art Nouveau wall lamps that are in the kitchen but they're using them to "frame" an extractor fan flume?

The brass surround in the piano room door, the handles on kitchen cabinets and the oven colour all give it a dash of a 1990's Changing Rooms make-over vibe.

Its very topical.

Copper has antiviral properties and as there is copper in brass it too has antiviral properties.

Thus front doors were fitted out with brass as a matter of hygiene !

Apart from calling it CityWest.

It's Fortunestown/Jobstown, the Lidl at the end of the road is the one that got looted and demolished in the snow a few years back.

Ard Mhor is not Jobstown. (Why do people insist on labelling everything within 30 minutes walk of Jobstown as Jobstown?)

Ard Mhor sits between Brookview estate, which is Brookfield, and Citywest.

IIRC Ard Mhor was originally built as either affordable housing or shared ownership. Some Respond housing association units in there too, have a friend (who ironically works for SDCC housing section) living in a Respond apartment there.
