I don't get glass floors except in boats and sky walks.

@noondlyt @weirdestate

OK. I know I should move on but. Is this a baby cage???

@futurebird @weirdestate

I don't want to know the answer

@noondlyt @futurebird @weirdestate has to be. But why is it adult human length? Is this a stealth fetish dungeon?

@noondlyt @futurebird @weirdestate Hold up! Hold up. Back to this photo!

Looking at the floorplan, that is the exact POV from the shitter. That wooden rectangle above the room divider, left of the railing? That's the landing of the loft stairs. So when you're getting up in the morning, you can casually check whether your significant other is currently using the facilities.

Same goes for when you're at the stove, making coffee. Via the bathtub glass floor.

Very practical

@noondlyt @futurebird @weirdestate

Yup: Throne, sink, shower, and bathtub. Obvs. You can watch the whole process. At least you can see it happen before you smell it.

This is a kink forward household. Gotta be.

@noondlyt @futurebird @weirdestate

It might be because there are so few windows lower down? Like if they didn't have some glass in the ceiling there'd be little or no daylight, and then the ceiling of one logically has to be the floor of the next.

@PalmAndNeedle @noondlyt @weirdestate

Can you imagine the serial killer vibes of going over to a house like that then asking to use the rest room and only then finding out?

There is only one bathroom and it's that one.

I wonder if the new owners will invest in some sandblasting and many rugs?

@futurebird @noondlyt @weirdestate there's no door on the bathroom. The fact that that *hasn't* been called yet out says everything about this interior design. And no ceiling, either. This is... I don't think this is salvageable.

@PalmAndNeedle @noondlyt @weirdestate

And consider the kind of ghosts that would be haunting the place. Strange early 00s swinger ghosts... or cam girl ghosts... IDK.

And "just make the downstairs windows bigger" is not an option because it's a listed building.

@dec23k @noondlyt @futurebird @weirdestate

Aha interesting! Was it something else before it was a house? I wondered about that.

@unchartedworlds @dec23k @noondlyt @weirdestate

The exterior of the building suggests either a mansion or maybe some kind of club or government building?

I'm curious now too.

It's odd to think that strange bathroom is in this fancy building.

@unchartedworlds @dec23k @noondlyt @weirdestate

My god this neighborhood is expensive! Over half a million pounds for this little basement one-bedroom?

I mean this happens in NYC too...

I'm getting way too nosey about this building, but it's fascinating, it's like NYC but different... I wonder if there is a "flat" in NYC like the one that started this post tucked away someplace? I wonder what the strangest apartment in the city is like?

Just a moment...

@futurebird @unchartedworlds @dec23k @noondlyt @weirdestate looks like it was once South Hackney Upper School https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1226403. Given its Victorian origins I imagine the cane was in frequent use; seems consistent with the current interior design vibe...

As others have said, it’s a former school. It was built by the London School Board and although it’s not mentioned in this article that explains their ethos, its architect T J Bailey makes an appearance.

That bathroom is wild. Keep chopping the onions, don’t look up.

The Schools of the London School Board: ‘Sermons in brick’

The London School Board built some 400 schools in the thirty years of its existence.  Together, they represent one of municipalism’s outstanding achievements.  Individually, they remain impressive both as architecture and symbol. The origins of the London School Board lay in the 1870 Education Act – the first attempt to ensure the education of working-class…
