It's the last one. Unifying courthouses and prosecutor office and stuff in one place instead of half a dozen buildings around town.

"The county’s new Justice Facility will bring together county prosecutor’s office, as well as Circuit and District courtrooms and facilities. Starting on the top floor and going down will be the county’s Circuit Court, then the prosecutor’s office, then the District Court."

They should have committed to the bit.

Space stations need heat venting! Getting it down to a single vent that's only two meters across was an engineering miracle. Of course it's a weak point, but that's why you build multiple redundancies into your system. The Rebels could have, and should have, been stopped by any number of other defense mechanisms that they were mysteriously able to breeze right by. Almost as if some highly-placed official specifically sabotaged the bureaucratic and structural systems that were meant to protect the station from this kind of assault...

Also they forgot to install the lint filter on the exhaust. I mean come on, yeah, you'll have to clean or replace the filters, but how would the Rebels have fared if there were a couple of big screens anywhere along their path?

Exploration is ill-advised.
I prefer the Phineas and Ferb version where Darthenshmirtz helped design it and of course installed a self-destruct mechanism automatically. Funny how the very first thing Disney did with the franchise pretty much predicted a lot of it, including the Death Star having built in flaws that lead to its destruction and a major character being a turncoat Stormtrooper.

Though Rogue One more establishes that specifically the main reactor of the Death Star was indeed designed to be dangerously unstable and blow the whole thing up at a relatively small disruption- though I imagine he had more in mind internal sabotage or a suicide bombing than a well placed torpedo.

I think a bathroom is the only place that color of grey wood tile looks ok. Maybe like an small entryway/vestibule/mudroom. But across a whole kitchen, living room, dining rom, etc...? No way.

How is the door that much higher than the picture window next to it? I get having to step down into a basement apartment. But having to climb stairs outside just to step down on the inside to the main floor? What’s up with that?

Probably the living room behind the big window is a step or two down from everything else on that floor.

It’s possible, I guess with the basement window below, I just assumed that there was a basement (or parent’s) apartment. And it would be kinda odd to have multiple levels on the first floor. But this is the crappy construction thread, so anything is possible.

It could just be how they made the entryway work with access to the second floor apartment. Elevate the entryway a bit, so the stairs to the second floor fit in the space now available.

A strangely popular move in that exact type of home is to have an opening between floors right at the front window. So, like, there's a balcony behind that window in their living room, looking down into the basement. This allows for a big, tall set of windows looking out at street level and into your little lowered garden area. Can't guarantee that's what's happening, but its a possibility. Usually it's one big, nice storefront type window, but not always.

Edit: Eh, looking closer, don't think that's it. I leave this post as a testament to one of the dumber design trends in Chicago townhomes though.

You could probably do it with ultraviolet germicidal irradiation.

There’s a lot of shadowing in the fibers, but if you hit it with enough ionizing radiation, nothing will grow in there.

If you press a switch on the other side of the house, the whole thing sinks flush with the floor and there's some kind of power-up on top.

absolutely insane design choice right there.

why not put it along the wall where the peninsula starts, drop the peninsula, and have a big ol' island if you want that additional cabinet and counterspace???


e: where does that doorway in the background lead to, and why is the top of the drywall only a few inches above the door??!

I'm not sure what is better/worse; that the fridge nook is a foot taller than the fridge for reasons, or that it doesn't go all all the way to the ceiling and leaves an awkward gap instead.

The "reasons" are that the rough opening was sized for a top compressor built in SubZero and someone jammed a big box store samsung or whatever in there because it was $10k cheaper.
