That looks like the corridor in my local GP surgery which was built in the 60’s or 70’s

You would probably get a better class of dope dealer working out of that corridor…

Have to say I’m enjoying this. If anyone is genuinely interested, get over to Archdaily to see how well the rest of Europe is dealing with the need for cheaper housing, far more important than a taste debate.

He lost me when he went too far into Post-Modernism I’m afraid, but that’s just a matter of taste.

I’m sure your flat is perfectly fine. An architectural masterpiece it is not.
