It doesn't even go to the ceiling! Imagine the dust.

This is what gets me. If they were forced to have load bearing pillars there, I could at least try to understand making use of the space. What is even the point of these walls?!

That's where we put the booze.

You can limit the atrocity by putting hanging plants on top.

In some sci-fi future, there'll be flying roombas to take care of that.

...actually, I suppose we have drones. Can drones dust? Can you strap a feather duster to one?

(Am I a single youtube search away from finding entire channels about drones with feather dusters strapped on?)

I can't picture how plants on top will reduce dust?

Is that a thing? Indoor plants to control dust?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 2 years ago

No, but it will make use of the fact that it doesn't reach the ceiling and it could even look cool with a mix of plants and shelves on the sides

It gets worse, what's going on with the door in the background? It looks like the wall goes to the same level as the 'nook' and the ceiling light is in the room beyond it.
Like there was some kind of mezzanine floor that got hamfistedly removed.

I bet the door is to a pantry. They don't need vaulted ceilings, so it's better used as space for potted plants and the fine/display china. I've seen a lot of plant ledges and alcoves in newer houses. They can make the spaces appear much larger than they actually are.

ETA: the fridge enclosure is weird though. They could have just matched the bar height and put in 12-18 inch counters to make it functional
