Isn't a bonus room just a spare room?

Is there some kind of optical illusion going on or are the diagonal steps also slanted?

A lot of listings will call it a bonus room if it doesn’t have legal fire egress out of a window and/or if it doesn’t have a legit closet in it.

'Bonus room' is just a way to say 'there is an additional space but it doesn't meet spec for anything in particular, so we're going to gloss that over and act like you're getting it as some sort of extra and maybe you won't think about the fact you are definitely paying for it anyway'.

When I was apartment hunting last year, one of the apartments I liked had a "bonus room." It didn't have a door, but it had a window and a small closet. It would have made a good office/hobby/place for house guests to sleep, but I couldn't quite swing it at the time.

It would have made a good office/hobby/place for house guests to sleep, but I couldn't quite swing it at the time. It took me a bit to figure out you meant "there was no way to stop people from getting in", not "there was no way to get in aside from climbing in through the window". I am not awake yet, apparently.

Oh, it's multicolored! Because of course it is. This same staircase was posted earlier, but with blue lighting instead of red. Red is more appropriate given the inevitable blood loss.

What are those even anchored in? I want to know how badly those flex when you step on them, or more likely fall down the stairs every morning.

Red is more appropriate given the inevitable blood loss. Last time somebody said it was CGI and not something that was actually built. Like, a bad architecture project or something. I really hope that's true.

Do you have to sign a waiver so your surviving family doesn't sue the mfg. of the stairs?

Yea, unfortunately it is 100% real and is apparently made by a company that specializes on 'stairs that will probably kill you' for some reason. I can only assume this is the result of directing some sort of of psychopath into architectural design?  This one is better because it technically has a railing so you aren't just going to slide right off it, but I still think making your entire stairwell from glass is a terrible idea:

Splicer posted:Oh jesus it is slanty. That lowest step is perfectly sloped to make your foot slide off to the left and get wedged in the crack. They're horizontal, they just protrude from the wall at an angle. Like, imagine if it was a real stairwell, the individual stairs would be wedge-shaped.

The second one at least has something resembling a real railing and not something likely to scissor you in half if you fall on it, but can you imagine trying to go up or down those stairs if you have wet shoes or something?

Totally, just think of all the food court goons, sitting there, eating cheetos drinking mountain dew, fighting over the table under the clear glass stairs so they can just happen to look up as a girl with a skirt comes down.....

Apparently there's a market for overpriced lovely looking danger stairs. Wish I had gotten in on the ground floor for that one. Probably still could if I just took a trip up one of their projects.

On floorplans an eat-in kitchen is a DK and the L could be across the house or not exist at all. (I didn't know what a great room is, I thought it was a sitting room for guests with a vaulted ceilings and a piano and all the breakable stuff that kids weren't allowed to play with.) peanut fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Apr 16, 2018 |
