I have a feeling this was a kids room. Y’all are harsh, this would be dope as hell for a kid.
Heck, this would be dopes as hell as an adult
It would be amazing if you were on two or three marijuanas.

The more I look at this, the more I like it.
No matter how closely I study it No matter how I take it apart No matter how I break it down It remains consistent I wish you were here to see it!
The dimensions of Gilman’s attic room are unusual and seem to conform to a kind of unearthly geometry. Gilman theorizes that the structure can enable travel from one plane or dimension to another.

There it is, saved me having to do it.
There’s so much to dislike, but I think the thing that irrationally bugs me the most is the fact that they chose a 6 panel door and just chopped the top off it right through the panels. Instead of, you know, just buying a different kind of door.
and it opens right into an open stair… that’s a tripping hazard.

Also the door position relative to the stairs. It’s horrible and even dangerous.
In most situations it’d be fine. I wouldn’t want to move a couch through it though.
That door doesn’t fit the opening.
It’s too narrow and the angle at the top is wrong.
Yessss. Make a custom panel door or no panels. Besides that I like it despite how often I’d hit my head.
Probably not fireproof anymore. In case being up to code is an expectation here
If someone renovate the place, that’s the only good decision they had the opportunity to make. So they decided to stick with the theme.
Ngl, I kinda like it lol. As a kid I would have wanted a room like this so bad.
Is it bad that I would legitimately love to live there?
Of course not! It takes all sorts… 😉
Was thinking the same. XD
McEsher flipping houses now ?
Y’all are harsh. This looks like someone optimized the architecture of the space as best as possible. The only thing that bothers me is the choice of door where it’s chopping the panels awkwardly.
Without being able to see the other side, the door swing direction bugs me too. Like why does it open to the middle of the room blocking the stairs there, instead of towards the wall? Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Probably a kids room + upscale attic.
Probably so that the 3 hinges can be at the standard heights on the tall side of the door. The short side would have cut off the top hinge. But yeah, would have been nicer to chisel out custom spacing for the hinges on the short side
That would look better but the tall end of the door would be smacking into the sloped ceiling constantly?
Also a good observation but I’m not sure it would be a big hindrance. It would need to be 90 degrees to open before encountering the ceiling which is only a tiny bit less than where it currently hits those stairs., You’d probably want a stopper there to protect both door and ceiling. Maybe even put one on the ceiling itself. For an already off room that might look kinda cool.
Oh that’s a good call out for sure. But also if they put this foot frame in does it matter? Genuine question, Ive only ever installed pre-framed doors. This obviously wasn’t a pre fram so would it even matter where you put the hinges? Like hypothetically couldn’t you frame, then cut the door to frame spec, then figure out ideal hinge placement before mounting?
Another benefit to the way it hinges is it is much safer with respect to the stairs behind it, since people don’t typically walk through doors close to the hinge.

Right!? Like… how about just make the door lower and square lol. I get it, then you’d probably have most tall people ducking to come in but… a minor inconvenience for a major aesthetic gain.
Or a door with a rounded top like in The Simpsons

I really want to see more angles of this room. It’s so weird, and I just want to understand how weird.
There’s a lot of angles already in the picture, you want more?
My kids would love it.
Man, this serious PBS Zoom show vibes.
Needs a lot of yellow and blue paint
“Honey, I got a killer deal on drywall and by god if I ain’t gonna use it all!”
This is awful and I want to live in it.
I live for this shit
I’d have so much fun in this room lol
