A super white space with a fireplace in every room, then suddenly youāre in a bedroom without walls (I guess they ran out of money?), then a horrible marble bathroom, then suddenly it looks like a completely different house with terracotta tiles and feature brickwork everywhere, then a toilet with likeā¦ limestone walls? A kitchenette bigger than my actual kitchen in a sitting room where none of the 6+ chairs face the TV. I dig the spoiler room though, that last fuckin toilet got me. I couldnāt imagine living in a place like that.
I think itās brick in some areas because thatās the converted basement area. The other parts probably already had walls like that and they just painted them.

Itās a very strange house. Most of it is beautiful but not very stylistically consistent, and then boom, sarcophagus toilet.
