they were replaced with trendy shelves Also I'm like 80% sure I stayed in at least one, maybe two apartments with that exact kitchen in the early 00s. One of them might have been a house rental split with 4 other people. It's those cabinets and that rounded island. That poo poo's seared into a part of my memory that I didn't know existed until I saw those photos.

Orvin posted:They did a lot of work on the lower cabinets too. The dishwasher got moved (you can barely see it to the left of the sink) to make room for the microwave down below. With the fridge and oven out of frame, that makes for a super lovely work triangle. That's not a kitchen for working in, it's a kitchen for putting the take-out on the counter at the end of the work day. The whole thing just screams "married couple of 20-30 something DINKs."

Crunchy Black posted:who gives a poo poo about the money or the fact that they are your parents. Fix your house. Yesterday. What the gently caress. Some landlords get lovely about people asking for repairs, even if it's the kind of thing that will save them money in the long run. This can lead to lovely stuff like having to find a new apartment when they don't want to renew your lease (because they just put a bunch of money in and now want a more lucrative tennant) or in this case family drama I guess.

Blue Footed Booby posted:What gets me is why does someone buy some historic mansion just to gut it and make it into something completely different? If it were a little bungalo, sure, that's in the range where it can be economical to buy in a style you hate but a neighborhood you love and and just redo it. But if you're spending mansion bucks, why buy a fixer upper? It's like putting body kits on a lambo to make it look like a ferrari. Because it's a large house in a part of town that you want to live in, in a very desirable city, with a great view etc. It's not like there's going to be another mansion sized building that ticks all those boxes and a modern interior down the block. In your analogy you live in Cuba and that lambo is one of three on the island that somehow got in and if you want a performance car that's what you're getting, so time to slap on a Ferrari badge. FWIW I love the original interior and despise the new one.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Fair enough. I tend to think of mansions as being on big tracts of land away from anything else, floating in the abstract void that rich people tend to occupy for me, but now that I actually engage my brain being an hour outside of a major city is different from being an hour outside Eufala, Alabama. That's just it, though: It's not an hour outside a major city.  It's smack dab in the middle of SF, literally about a 2 minute walk from the edge of The Presidio / Golden Gate Park. Also about 45 minute walk from downtown if you can't stand to be in your car for 10 minutes. It's the sort of place a billionaire buys so they can walk to work in the morning. You'd be challenged to find more expensive real estate anywhere in the US. If it was a tin shack sitting on a superfund site it would still get bought and have a multi-million dollar mansion built on it.

Never thougth I'd be able to say this in this thread, but check out the academia thread for a bunch of people making fun of that monstrosity, or as it is now known Kowloon Walled Dormitory Also I found one little flaw in the design, it's subtle so I drew a diagram: Cyrano4747 posted:Also I think I find a slight problem with the design of those interior clusters. See, the thing on the far side, opposite the door is pretty obviously a sink, which means that the box next to it is the dishwasher.

On the upside, with only two entrances it will be easy for the students to barricade and extremely defensible when they riot and present a list of demands.

Facebook Aunt posted:What is the point of protesting when there is no way to fix this? They can't put windows in later. There isn't any spare space to expand or change anything. An entire pod has a single point of emergency egress and there is no way to fix that. Even if you tear out all the interior walls and redesign the space it is still a cube with the minimum possible surface area. Sometimes the point is to create a big enough mess that you embarrass the gently caress out of the people in charge and gently caress near anything gets done. Your typical prison riot doesn't have a high probability of enacting meaningful reform, but it still underscores what's hosed. It's worth noting that in this instance buying a poo poo load of doublewides and parking them in literally any empty field, parking lot, or sports field would be an improvement. Napkin math and lazy googling says that a doublwide costs about ~900,000. If we assume you can squeeze 4 people in there (not an insane assumption, plus you're probably getting bespoke trailers for this huge as gently caress contract) that's ~$112million to just put everyone in a gently caress-off huge trailer park. Which, you know, is extremely significant and has you basically bending over and paying retail, but it's still a drat sight cheaper than the $200 million Mega

I mean, or, I dunno, radical thinking here, build a few dorm buildings on the same land that are only the normal grade of dehumanizing giant student storage rather than trailblazing new paths into dystopia. I've lived in some gently caress awful housing in my life, and some of it was provided by educational institutions, but they all managed a bare minimum of poo poo like "giving me a window" and "safe fire egress."

RoastBeef posted:I lived in a four- and eight-person dorm and both had reasonably complete apartment kitchens (refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, byo microwave). It really, really depends on what the people who built it thought of the likely lives of the students. It's entirely in the realm of what some architect imagines people doing. I've lived in a standard dorm hall where you were expected to just walk to the cafeteria a few blokes over and there was a communal kitchen with a microwave. Worked fine. On the same campus I lived in a dorm that had an integral dining hall for special interest dining groups and you were expected to go there and socialize with other nerds interested in your thing . That worked too. It was it's own brand of weird, but it was fine if you value eating dining hall food while geeking out about specific subjects with other like minded dorks (I very much did). Same campus, I lived in a detached "apartment" that had access to a microwave like a quarter mile away, was about a mile from a dining hall, and had loving awful routes to walk to get to any of that. By the end of that semester I was on a first name basis with the pizza delivery guys and was tipping them in  Not an ideal situaton.Meanwhile in grad school I saw someone's university provided grad-school apartment/dorm that was basically my freshman dorm with a solo bathroom and the world's shittiest kitchen that they expected this dude, his wife, and his two kids to somehow live in. The really hosed part is that he could have gotten a halfway decent 2br apartment for what they were charging him for it, but he was foreign so I guess he just went with what his trusted institution was offering.

BonerGhost posted:Is he aware that when you pay for one of those staterooms, it's for a couple weeks max and in the meantime you're going to vacation spots? More to the point, there's a ton of poo poo that's mildly inconvenient and even charming when you're doing it voluntarily but is inhumane to force on someone. Sleeping in a tent in the woods and making GBS threads in a hole you dug can be a really fun getaway if you're into camping, but building a giant homeless camp wouldn't be optimal for student housing either.

Also like Mr. Billionaire has ever been anywhere near the window-less interior state rooms on a cruise poo poo. Maybe he read a brochure about them while sitting on the fantail suite, but more likely he read the brochure while sitting in the stateroom of his yacht. Comparing your windowless cell to a Disney cruise stateroom is some serious "how much could a banana cost, Michael" energy.

Blistex posted:I don't know if I am misinterpreting the scale, but that looked way to small for a useful fireplace. It looks like it would have to be restocked every 15 minutes to even begin to approach being a meaningful source of heat. Making it entirely impractical. You see coal fireplaces that small. Think of it less like a roaring fireplace that's going to heat your entire hunting lodge or cavernous sitting room and more like a space heater that you're using to make a 10 x 15 foot room not suck as much during the winter.

I read an article about it yesterday and apparently the view was SUPER underwhelming. I saw one comment that you could get a better view by just going to an office building a few miles away. Also some city councilman who was a huge booster is still saying it was all worth the tens of millions of pounds they spent on it because it drove foot traffic during the vital pandemic days. Sure, buddy. People went out of their way to visit that thing to the point that it stimulated the local economy more than just taking that money and giving it to random citizens would have done.
