Nope, but I once taught pottery and encouraged a moderately talented child to make a coil pot, something like the one in the photo. It didn't turn out to be quite such a classical shape, however, the bottom sagging and giving it an inelegant, but useful, low centre of gravity. The child took it home triumphantly, and on the first parents' evening I learned it had been put in pride of place on the half landing.

Roll on to the final parents' evening in July and the parent confided, "I've tripped over that blessed pot I don't know how many times, but despite some very vigorous hoovering the bloody thing refuses to die!"

I hate that.  It's a concrete car park with windows ALL the way around the outside.  It will cost a fortune to heat in winter, and will probably massively overheat in the summer (requiring air conditioning?)

I don't understand why anyone would want this. All glazed, but adjacent to a public footpath through the cemetry.

It's not my bag, but I do like the way the trees seem to be a part of the living space due to all the glass (which would cost you a fortune in blackout blinds wouldn't it? )

Who says a dark colour scheme can’t work?

That's horrible.  It will take several coats of white paint over everything until it covers and you can finally decorate it properly.
