    I have a feeling this was a kids room. Y’all are harsh, this would be dope as hell for a kid.

      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’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.

      Was thinking the same. XD

    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.

    I really want to see more angles of this room. It’s so weird, and I just want to understand how weird.
