Hell, just imagine how many kitchen scraps are inevitably going to find their way down there? It's going to be super gross. Especially since, while it's hard to see, I think the stairs may be carpeted.

What’s the staircase doing in the middle of the room anyway?

The stone facade embedded in a big blank stucco wall is pretty silly, but the main thing that stands out to me about that is the columns. Regardless of what they're made of (and I'm sure that an appropriately-anchored column, combined with steel beams, could be more than strong enough), they don't look big enough to support that amount of visual mass.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:I'd guess a renovation extended or moved the kitchen, without moving the basement stairs. Eh, maybe. To me it looks like a basement retrofit. There were quite a few homes built with a trapdoor to access the basement from the kitchen, which is super inconvenient. Imagine having to open up your kitchen floor and climb down a staircase that's drat near a ladder every time you wanted to swap your laundry. It's a giant pain in the rear end according to my buddy that rented a house with a trapdoor basement. An annoying staircase in the middle of the kitchen would be preferable.

There is obviously a living space up there, just look at the chimney. So why no windows? Is the road too loud?

Yeah, the 'stone' floating up in the air is very weird and unsettling and probably causing most of that feeling. Even if it's all fake, our eye still needs elements like that to at least look like they're supported continuously down to the ground.

Anne Whateley posted:The term is “porte cochère” if you want to google. They do seem super handy, and they’re definitely not all so ugly Not exactly super handy if you're in earthquake country, where anything up on columns like that is known as a soft story and is most likely gonna collapse in the next quake. There's a fun crappy construction issue in the Bay Area where there are literally thousands of buildings like this (very common in apartments from the 20s-80s, to enable parking cars below the apartments). There's no ordinance statewide or even county-wide in many cases to retrofit these, and owners clearly aren't going to pay for it of their own volition. So a whole bunch of apartment buildings are just sitting ducks for the next big quake and everyone smiles and nods and ignores it. And the topper is that even if they WERE retrofitted, no one really knows if they'd actually withstand a big quake - certainly seems like a few columns spaced widely apart aren't gonna have a ton of racking strength compared to regular studs with sheathing, or concrete/rebar continuous walls.

A porte cochère isn’t about living space above necessarily, just a roof. I don’t think a ground-level parking garage really qualifies, I think the point is the driveway goes through it? It’s a money thing anywhere, but afaik it’s more common in areas with bad weather and snow
