This hallway reminded me of a sight gag in the Coens' "Inside Llewyn Davis". I like that the two neighbors have to share a doormat.
The starkly bare hallway and contrasting tones between the walls and the doors and floor make this as much a study in abstract shapes as it is about urban living.
@mattblaze Aye! I immediately thought of “Inside Llewyn Davis” as well 😁
Great shot!
"Who designed this?" you might ask.
NYC brownstones such as the one shown here were generally either built from the start as multi-family tenements, or started as single-family homes and later subdivided into apartments. In the former case, the layout into individual units was part of the original design and generally fairly sane. In the latter case, landlords often tried to squeeze every square inch of rentable space out of the existing layout, at the expense of common space like hallways.
@mattblaze wait til they see the bathroom.
