Someone is actually living in Exhibit C now, the place doesn't look half bad when furnished. Except for the kitchen shower.

Lucas ended up here with her eyes wide open though. After quitting her job in advertising in Australia three years ago, she had hopped from sublet to sublet across New York while carving out a new career path through interning at flower shops like Belle Fleur and Flower Girl on Eldridge Street. Now she was striking out on her own, starting her company, The Wild Bunch, and needed a place for herself that could double as a studio (flower stems floating all over the living room tend to annoy roommates).

So the solution to terrible construction layout is to be obnoxiously dumb and independently wealthy. (Bolding mine)

She's paying almost $1800 a month for that.

I actually think those floor hatches are cool. If I had a small space with high ceilings and my landlord let me I'd probably want to build something like that.

I dare you to compare that to some of the rents we pay in Australia. $1800 a month is probably slightly below average for Sydney and Melbourne inner city apartments.

edit: heres some for shits and giggles

$2000 a month for 50 sq m
$1900ish for a studio


There were 13 apartments in the sydney CBD that were less than $500 per week, and none that were less than $400.

Did you run a conversion on those? 1800 USD would be something like 2250 AUD, so it seems pretty comparable.

That's still absurd unless you're being paid well enough to live there.

She moved about as far as you possibly can and stay in the English-speaking Western world to work internships in one of the two most expensive cities in the country. The rent alone is more than what a full-time job would pay monthly at the NYC minimum of $10.50, and you can bet an internship at a small florists' isn't paying more than minimum if it is paid at all. She's paying that to live in a motel room, has probably $3k in decorating at least in there, and is starting her own 'floral business' in a 28 square meter one room rather than move to Queens or Brooklyn where the rents are high but not murderous.

I just push buttons.



i almost bought a house with a basement like this. it had a bedroom down there too. i was like "huh, why the gently caress would you recess all the light fixtures above the ceiling tile between the joists." then i clocked my head on something that was only protruding like three inches. the basement was like 6'4" maximum.

Is the roof off the fridge so you can keep talking to friends while you pee or is it still covered, forcing you to do a squatty to use the potty?

I like the idea of reusing just the refrigerator doors to make a funny entrance to an otherwise normal room. It reminds me of Jungle Jim's faux porta johns.

That's super cheap paneling, but either they didn't use enough nails to hang it or some already pulled out. This is the equivalent of a nail pop in drywall.

To be fair Ozone generators are pretty great at getting the sooty smell out of places that were fire-adjacent recently.

They're also used in smoking rooms in hotels between guests to freshen it up a bit. I've walked into a couple of rooms that still had the thing on the counter. To be fair, I checked in a bit early, so the room was marked as available, they just hadn't been by to pick it up after letting it run for awhile.
