I always love the idea of rounded walls but then I remember that most furniture is square. I guess if you can afford a house like this, you can afford custom furniture to appoint it.

For a space this grand with the trees around it, it’s remarkable ugly. The starkness of the space and the window handles and plain lights makes it somehow look like part of a school or hospital or high end cafeteria even when the room is packed with personal art and wood furniture.

Reddit seems to want to ignore the fact that disabled people exist. Unfortunately they are killing the only apps that make Reddit usable for disabled people. My decade overall of Reddit has come to an end. I hope to see you all and the communities I value some place else where people are valued.

I am guessing this is the modern house that overlooks Edinburgh Gardens in Fitzroy (hence the trees)?
It is an intriguing design, being starkly modern, located in a Victorian era zone (heritage protected) and located on a very inconvenient shaped block (the edge of an old railway siding). Given all that it works remarkably well – especially being public facing on three sides.

When my family was moving to Singapore for my dad’s work, we visited a bunch of neat apartments of all shapes and sizes.
One of them was an odd building that looked like it was just a whole bunch of stacked ship bows all around the core. The units inside didn’t have any straight walls anywhere, lots of rooms roughly shaped like this. No custom millwork to take advantage of the curves, no easy way to set up any room. It was interesting to look at, but looked so uncomfortable to actually live in.
This at least has some straight sections, but damn if all those opening windows don’t look like a mess.
