that's true, but also "house struck by lightning, explodes, and you fall 50 ft to your death" is a pretty cool way to go, even if it might be kind of horrible to experience

Most people like indoor plumbing, and most people don't like stairs. It is an actively unpleasant place to stay for lots people, so they won't even consider renting it. I'd rather sleep in the car than face the spiral stairs of death.

Which means the only people who ever rent the treehouse are people who are totally hyped about staying in a treehouse.

So you can look them in the eyes as they watch from their own apartments, and see their fear of the fetid hell your bowels are about to release. Savour the horrified wonder in their mournful eyes as they watch you blight porcelain with the devastating outcome of Curry Night, and spend their last few moments of breathable clean air praying to an uncaring God that will not save them from the encroaching nightmare wafting towards them and permating regardless through their hastily-closed window. While you issue a loud wet bellow of Hell from your digestion to signal to all there will be no mercy for anyone tonight.

It's the "die with honor" escape hatch for if you drop too smelly of a deuce or clog the toilet and don't want to die from embarrassment. The door is smaller to help keep you from using it by accident.

Only if it closes by itself. Otherwise your neighbors gonna see your body Wile-E-Coyoted into the tiles, and a door swinging open into the mezzanine, and they're gonna put deuce and deuce together and realize you exited this world because you couldn't live with the shame of landing a world record brown trout

The red trim is a choice too.

The All Window Wall probably means high heating bills if it gets cold in the area but it's hard to imagine that is what's keeping the price low.

Maybe? Look how close the sink is to the toilet.

And the white one looks like an airport/Walmart bathroom. With bonus wall-to-wall fluorescent lights.

Speaking from Wisconsin experience, you can do things to mitigate heat loss from windows, and frankly the money you aren't spending to buy that will probably be a lot cheaper overall than the heating bill. The flat top makes me nervous though, you don't see many ungabled roofs around here because you don't want six feet of snow weighing down on top of the building. At least that much water is surprisingly good insulation?

Heated metal roof maybe? That's a weird rear end choice in such a snow heavy state, however it's a perfect house for impending climate change.

It wouldn't be the first time that an architect high on their own supply has omitted an extremely important functional design element just because they didn't fit their vision.

I bet the owners have to go up there and shovel it themselves.
