Lol, for a second I was thinking the room was so big because Louis Penfield liked to produce massive paintings.

That structure is amazing but this built in furniture is church pew comfortable for even a small person. (I read somewhere that he was pretty wedded to his interior choices too).

FLW was the first architect who made me realize that architecture was something someone could even be interested in.

He’s so popular but I find his spaces and architecture so uninviting and just uncomfortable looking. Like this furniture looks about as comfortable as what you’d get in an office building or the airport.
