Breaking down Hotch's apartment layout until someone from Criminal Minds slides into my DMs with the damn floorplans

- CASE BRIEFING: HOW HOTCH'S APARTMENT GASLIT US ALL

As an architecture student, I have a very strong (borderline obsessive) interest in analyzing spaces and locations... especially when they don’t quite add up. And one that has always messed with my brain (sometimes in a good way, but mostly in a frustrating way) is Hotch’s apartment from seasons 4–11.

The transformation from the bare, depressing space in s5 to the warm, cozy atmosphere with antique furniture and clever spatial tricks later on… it’s fascinating.

But also confusing as hell.

Because one question has always haunted me:

Is the apartment we see in Season 4/5 (where Hotch was stabbed and possibly SA’d) the same one he’s living in by Season 10?

(And since I’m a visual learner, here are the pics, because this mystery needs solving... I'll try my best)

(05x01 ; 10x05 don't zoom in, you freaks)

Seems easy to solve, right? The civil number is the same! Great.

121

...But hold on - what’s this?

(07x23)

...Damn, Aaron, your mailman must be going through it - 121? 123? Pick a struggle.

So… is it the same apartment or not? Because at this point, I’m losing my mind.

- VICTIMOLOGY (TYPOLOGY)

As you all know, the starting point is always victimology—but in architecture, my go-to is typology.

So, what kind of apartment building does Hotch live in?

Because once we figure that out, we can finally make sense of all the architectural crimes committed in his apartment.

We get a glimpse of his building in 5x02, and - without dragging you through a full historical deep dive (unless you want me to, in which case, buckle up) - here’s what we do know: it looks like this...

The building looks pre-WWII, likely built in the late 1920s–1930s, or designed more recently to mimic that era.

My guess is primarily based on the architectural detailing of the ground floor - the stonework, arches, and classical elements that give it a grander, more “expensive” look - and the distinct visual separation from the upper levels.

Spencer Reid moment - you can skip it if you'd like -> This actually follows a common design principle (partly influenced by Louis Sullivan’s theories) where different sections of a building reflect their function. The ground floor, being more public-facing, is more decorative and inviting, while the upper floors (where the apartments are) are plainer, emphasizing privacy.

However, the upper levels look stripped down, almost too plain, like they went through a more recent renovation that removed some of the og character. While it was normal in the 1920s/30s to emphasize the lower level, the upper floors would still have had some kind of textured finish brick, terracotta, or even decorative stone accents. Instead, here, it looks like someone just painted over everything... a bit sad, honestly… much like the man living in one of these apartments. Sorry Hotch but it is the truth.

That said, based on the photos, I hypothesized a possible volumetry diagram and main floor plan of the apartment building, including its functions and layout.

Knowing that Hotch lives in 121 (or 123… whatever it is today), he could very well be on the first floor. Old man isn’t about to risk climbing seven flights of stairs, understandable.

(Or, if we lean into the conspiracy theory that he has childhood trauma related to fire, it’s very telling that he chose a first-floor unit, making for an easier escape in case of danger…)

Our lovely Emily Prentiss gave us a sneak peek at the ground floor interior in 5x01, which - combined with a study of the window placement on the facade - helped me piece together a small section of the central layout.

From what we see, I feel even more confident about the building’s era - especially because of the beautiful wooden decorated elevators (yes, those are elevators, not doors... check the buttons on the side)

And now, for another Spencer Reid moment, part two -> In the early 1900s, when elevators were first being introduced in residential buildings, they didn’t look like the modern ones we see today.

Why?

Because men fear change.

Just like with any new technology, people were hesitant, so architects and designers made elevators blend in by disguising them as something more familiar - often looking like grand wooden doors or classic entryways rather than the industrial metal boxes we think of today.

This same pattern happened with building structures - steel (and concrete too!) was widely adopted in the early 1900s because of its strength, allowing for taller buildings, but architects still hid the steel frame behind stone or brick facades to maintain the look of traditional palaces. Even early cars looked like carriages because people weren’t ready to embrace a completely new form.

So, Hotch’s apartment building? It’s yet another classic case of early 20th-century architectural reluctance to embrace modernity - which, honestly, fits him a little too well. The man bottles up his emotions behind the calmest face just like his home hides its innovations behind classic detailing.

I see you, Aaron. You’re not fooling me.

Now, you may be asking - "Phi, weren’t you supposed to expose all the inconsistencies in Hotch’s apartment and finally solve whether it’s the same place or if they changed it?"

To that, I say… we’re getting there.

Because before we dive into the madness, there’s something that really messes with my brain - the window placement in Hotch’s apartment.

But to even begin analyzing that, we first need to understand how a typical floor plan in a building like this would be structured. And once again, our queen Emily Prentiss in 5x01 unknowingly led us straight to the answer.

The bastard even has a vaulted ceiling - right where I believe the main distribution area (aka elevators and stairs) is located. You can spot it in the pictures near the exit signs.

Also, just a heads-up... in the diagrams, the apartments look smaller than they actually are because I was too lazy to make multiple detailed drawings. (But hey, if someone paid me - hi, CM - I absolutely would) So, for now, I’m using that as a quick reference.

Now… the interior! Or should I say… the everchanging interior.

In this issue, I’ll be analyzing the Season 5 version - I even sketched out a small section of the floor plan (which could be completely wrong, because things change every episode).

From these pics, we can see that his windows are on the opposite side of the entrance - which, so far, checks out.

But wait... look down here! Check out the window placement in the kitchen. Thanks to that little detail, we can hypothesize that Hotch’s apartment is located in what I’ve labeled as "Unit B" - aka the unit with double exposure (great for ventilation, Aaron, solid choice).

From this pic down here from the s4 finale, we also get a fun little bonus detail - there’s what looks like a tiny dryer (or washing machine?) just sitting out in plain sight. And right behind Hotch, there’s a door that, based on the dimensions, I suspect leads to a bathroom.

Enough details to sketch out a partial floor plan… and there you have it!

A (partial) floor plan of Hotch’s apartment in its saddest era: bare, empty, and drowning in case files from seasons 4–5

And seeing more of his apartment in later seasons should be a blessing, right? It should help us map out the whole thing, right?...

Right?

...Wait.

Is that... a full-ass door on the right that totally wasn’t there before?!

Aaron, you hypocrite - you shut down Spencer Reid’s physics magic, yet here you are summoning entire new rooms into existence in your apartment.

(05x02 ; 10x05)

Alright, fine... where does that door lead?

(10x20)

Hot damn.

Referring to the home office, of course… and here’s some solid proof of its placement. Now, I’m gonna… step away for a minute… process... this... architectural betrayal… but YOU - you make sure to study these pics. I’ll be quizzing you later, got it?

Alright… and now… now that you’ve hopefully been studying (and totally not getting distracted by Hotch’s shirt hanging on for dear life - OMG LOOK AT THE [REDACTED])… focus.

You nasty.

Window placement.

Where’s the home office window? Exactly... on the same side as the others in the living and dining area (you can tell by the way the light enters the room in the pic on the right)

And since you’re all very interested in the architecture (and definitely not drooling over a certain Unit Chief), let me ask you this:

WHY THE HELL IS THERE A WHOLE FIREPLACE IN HIS HOME OFFICE?!

Don’t worry - I’ll answer for you. Since y’all are nasty.

Can I just say that it UPSETS ME to the point where I’m considering a 30-day diet of just drywall that THAT MAN - THAT FEDERAL AGENT - HAS A FIREPLACE. IN HIS HOME OFFICE.

(HELLO?!?!?!?!?? Whore.)

Unhinged. Because:

1. A fireplace is quite literally a symbol of family and warmth (fun fact: Frank Lloyd Wright always designed homes starting with the fireplace! Oh, wait. You might not know who that is, so now this just sounds confusing. My bad. Anyway, he designed a lot of cool stuff... moving on). A fireplace belongs in a living room or dining area, where people actually gather. And considering Hotch’s building is old, there is no way it was originally designed to have one in a private office. That placement is categorically wrong. You’re a terrible designer if you stick a fireplace in an isolated office but not in the main living space where it actually makes sense.

2. The writers could try to lie to my face and say, “Oh, maybe the room was repurposed into Hotch’s home office.”Wrong. His apartment has a big open-concept living/dining area with the kitchen on the side. And unless his place is secretly Rossi’s mansion (spoiler: it’s not), there’s no way the original layout had a separate formal dining room. And even if it did, the fireplace is still in the wrong damn place because formal dining rooms are typically closer to the entry.

3. They could lie even harder and try to argue that Hotch having a fireplace in his office is some deep, symbolic artistic choice - like, oh, he’s so devoted to his job, he’d rather warm his ass doing paperwork than sit by the fire reading Jack a bedtime story like a decent human being. Like. Come on. He’s a family man, for god’s sake. Either give him a properly placed fireplace or JUST DON’T GIVE HIM ONE AT ALL.

(Less is more, people!!! Unless, of course, we’re talking about Hotch’s [REDACTED]... oof. Damn censorship. Right when I was about to say something deeply unholy. )

Goodbye. See you in the next issue.

Hopefully by the end of this series we'll manage to sketch down the entire floorplan

Phi.

Sunshine on Syril

(and how Dedra's apartment might have saved him)

As a lover of interiors and how we exist within them... I would like to muse a bit on Syril's Spaces™️

Kyle Soller—the actor, storyteller and man you are. lor ham mercy

In Season 1, we see Syril only gets to enjoy 7 seconds of what a new day brings him. 7 seconds of sunshine on his face. And as a reminder, he grew up with this. Sunshine in visual media so often represents "goodness", "peace", and "purity". I can see how this imagery would lead people to believe Syril would have a rebellion-level redemption. And maybe that was an option for his character at some point. I like to believe that between him and Dedra, he had enough good in him for the both of them. But that might be a post for another time.

The rest of his days in this apartment are illuminated using indirect natural light or yellow artificial light

The shelters we occupy play a large role in our overall satisfaction with life and circumstance. No matter what stage you're in.

You can see in him experience some peace when the sun hits his face. And when it fades it's like he's catching a small sob in his throat from coming out. Syril has always, always, wanted better.

...and to come back to this at your lowest low must be painful.

Cue Dedra!

Or rather, her apartment

Dedra's apartment is minimal, sterile, and orderly. But more importantly, it is light, bright, and BATHED in sunlight through massive panoramic windows. Windows that curve around half the apartment to ensure sunshine is pouring in all hours that it is out.

A stark contrast to Syril's mother's apartment a lonnnnng elevator ride down.

Can you begin to imagine what that does for someone who has gone the worst parts of their life without it? If Dedra's backstory is true, it's likely she didn't enjoy the benefits of windows such as these in an oppressive Imperial kinder-block either.

A Love Illuminated

Syril and Dedra's features are fully lit during a beautiful day in Coruscant, in the home they share together.

Without the need to turn on a light, Dedra can observe her partner's face and see his anxiety painted across it. In return, Syril can appreciate her features go from soft, to lovingly stern, and both can get to work.

In nearly every shot that Syril is in this apartment during this sequence, except for the crash out on the bed during dinner (great visual choice there), sunshine is resting on him. It is on his face, his shoulders, his chest, his hands... It doesn't leave him.

Syril may have found a perfect match in Dedra, but he truly lucked out with her apartment as well. The way he moves around the space with confidence tells me everything I need to know: he belonged there. He could begin to heal there.

Fanfic Potential

My headcanon is that the first time he was allowed to enter her personal space, he saw it during the day. He walked in through the door and felt joy upon seeing the natural light. He knew then and there for certain he cannot mess things up with her.

What else does Dedra's apartment tell us?

Color is having a major moment in interiors lately. People are flooding rooms and trim and even ceilings with fun colors and patterns, and I am loving it.

Dedra's apartment though is devoid of color and clutter to an extreme amount, but to me, it feels like her. This is actually something we would have been right to expect, which is why it fits so well. Her space does not feel unwelcoming or lonely. It is a well curated space with what tabletop and shelf decorations she has, and easy to care for plants. She's an overworked professional in a high-stress job. Her home provides a sense of calm and serenity with the use of soft textures, rounded corners, and a functional layout. Truly, what a beautiful space to share with someone.

[sherlockggrian]

Recognize this build?

Something that's always bothered me about Grian is that he doesn't. ever. do. interiors. His builds are soo good and have so much potential, but I always fall short when trying to imagine his character actually living there. So I took it upon myself to recreate his house in minecraft, and build an interior myself, in a way I think he would do it (using a couple resource packs and mods, to make it more fun for myself)

I don't think he would waste any space - especially not for storage, so I've tried to add a few extra chests around.

the colour scheme is one I've been LOVING. petition for hermits to make more cozy living rooms. I don't care if they're not functional.

Grian build an actual bedroom challenge. For once in your life. Please.

Lastly, an appreciation on how beautiful this season's seed is and a testimony to how the hermits should use shaders more:

cabin interior

• their cabin gives off industrial vibes with its marble and concrete exterior.

• this is balanced out with beautiful ornate rugs, cozy woven blankets, and hardwood (olive obviously) floors.

• two words: organized. chaos.

• they have a caffeine station for pulling all-nighters or for long afternoons of studying, debating, and inventing.

• their cabin always smells like peppermint oil because spiders hate it.

• they have floor to ceiling bookshelves and boxes of rolled blueprints EVERYWHERE.

• they all have a customizable personal space with a bed, a desk with adjustable lighting, and ample storage for personal items and projects.

• personal areas feature soundproofing options to allow for quiet studying or rest amidst the bustling cabin environment.

cabin traditions

• they have debate nights at camp half-blood that get more and more heated until the cabins start watching the two opposing sides instead of listening to the actual debate.

• they even have debate nights in their own cabin. huge cups of coffee are passed around as the "discussion" of the day begins, growing louder and louder as time goes by. books are pulled from the shelves, laptops are opened and the most obscure sources are cited just to prove the most minor points.

EPOXYSHİNE - DRAGON+ (4)

When it comes to innovative interior design, the choice of flooring plays a pivotal role in defining the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space. Among the various options available, metallic floors have emerged as a striking trend, blending style with durability. Their unique finish not only adds a contemporary edge but also reflects light, creating a sense of openness in any room. Meanwhile, alternatives like quartz flooring offer an equally compelling mix of elegance and resilience, perfect for those seeking a natural yet refined look. 

Metallic Floor

Metallic floor have become an exciting trend in modern interior and exterior design, offering a sleek and futuristic aesthetic. This type of flooring is typically made using materials like epoxy, polished concrete, or terrazzo, which can be infused with metallic pigments that reflect light. The unique appearance of a metallic floor allows for a striking look, making a bold statement in any space.

One of the significant advantages of metallic floor finishes is their durability and resistance to wear and tear. Unlike traditional flooring options, metallic surfaces are often resistant to stains, scratches, and impact damage, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as commercial spaces or homes with pets and children. Additionally, they can be easily cleaned and maintained, preserving their luster and shine over time.

In terms of design versatility, metallic floors can be customized to fit various interior themes, from industrial chic to modern minimalism. Available in a range of colors and finishes, they can seamlessly blend into the environment or stand out as a focal point. Furthermore, incorporating metallic flooring can enhance the overall ambiance of a space, reflecting light and creating an illusion of depth, thus making a room feel larger and more open.

Quartz Flooring

When it comes to choosing a flooring option that combines beauty and durability, Quartz flooring stands out as a premier choice. This type of flooring is composed primarily of natural quartz crystals, which are not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly tough. As a result, Quartz flooring is resistant to scratches, stains, and other wear and tear that can occur over time.

Another significant advantage of Quartz flooring is its versatility. It is available in a vast array of colors and patterns, making it a suitable option for any home or office decor. Whether you're looking for a sleek modern look or a more traditional style, Quartz flooring can provide the perfect finish to your space.

Furthermore, Quartz flooring is known for its low maintenance requirements. Unlike other flooring types that may need frequent refinishing or special cleaning products, Quartz flooring can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water. This not only saves time but also makes it an economical choice in the long run.

Concrete Floor

When it comes to flooring options, concrete floor have risen in popularity due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional flooring materials, concrete can be customized in various finishes and colors, allowing homeowners and businesses to create a unique look that complements their design vision.

In addition to their visual versatility, concrete floors are incredibly strong and resistant to wear and tear. This makes them an ideal choice for high-traffic areas, where traditional flooring may suffer from scratches, dents, and fading over time. Concrete not only stands up to heavy use but is also easy to maintain, requiring only simple cleaning and occasional sealing.

Sustainability is another key advantage of concrete flooring. As a naturally abundant material, concrete has a lower environmental impact compared to other flooring options.

Ikemen Prince Real Life Castles

Hi babes! I'm feeling like adding yet another layer of delusion to our already delulu brains, so here’s my take on what IkePrince castles would look like in real life. This way, you can visit them while pretending to be Belle running down the hallways looking for your beloved prince.

Rhodolite

The Rhodolite castle would be grand and ornate, with French Renaissance and Baroque influences. Expect elegant stonework, elaborate gardens with fountains, and decorative elements like balustrades and statues. The interior would feature intricate tapestries, gold accents, and chandeliers, exuding an air of refined nobility and romance.

Some examples could be:

Château de Chambord - France

Palace of Versailles - France

Château de Chantilly - France

Château de Chenonceau - France

Schönbrunn Palace - Austria

Dunrobin Castle - United Kingdom

Lednice na Moravě - Czechia

Château de Ussé - France

Obsidian

The Obsidian castle would have a stern, gothic architecture with imposing towers and stone walls. Think of dark, medieval castles with fortified structures, high walls, and sharp angles. Interiors would be minimalistic and austere, emphasizing function over ornamentation but with a touch of grandeur in public spaces.

Some examples could be:

Hohenzollern Castle - Germany

Edinburgh Castle - Scotland

Moszna Castle - Poland

Burg Eltz - Germany

Garibaldi Castle - Russia

Château du Bousquet - France

Inveraray Castle - United Kingdom

Cologne Cathedral - Germany

Benitoite

The Benitoite castle would be built with Italian Renaissance and Mediterranean styles in mind. Expect warm-toned stone, arches, and decorative columns. Courtyards would be lush, with fountains and intricate tile work. Interiors might have frescoes, marbled halls, and large windows to let in light, creating a grand yet inviting atmosphere.

Some examples could be:

Palazzo Ducale - Italy

Belvedere Palace - Austria

Howard Castle - United Kingdom

Catherine Palace - Russia

Palazzo Pitti - Italy

Miramare Castle - Italy

Swallow’s Nest Castle - Ukraine

The Royal Palace - Spain

Jade

The Jade castle would be charming, integrated with its natural surroundings. Built in a style that’s less imposing and more in harmony with nature, it would be surrounded by gardens and water features. Think of understated beauty, with an emphasis on wooden accents, greenhouses, and large windows overlooking gardens and the forest.

Some examples could be:

Stoke Rochford Hall Leisure Club - United Kingdom

Harlaxton Manor - United Kingdom

Knebworth House - United Kingdom

Tommykaira M20B Tuned GC8 Impreza WRX

Challenge to the highest peak! Tommykaira's confidence for running seekers

The M20b, a complete machine with overwhelming "hyperdimensional" running, is now even more powerful.

The highest potential hidden in the boxer sound goes beyond the output and torque numbers and is active in a wide power field, and its response supports the drivability unique to Tommykaira tune.

The 4WD and well-developed tuned suspension provide excellent cornering characteristics with high stability and controllability.

At all times of acceleration, the sense of speed that responds sharply to the accelerator is unique to Tommy Kaira's tuning spirit.

The M20b is an unbeatable machine that combines sports car pedigree with a WRC champion.

Intense acceleration G that transcends dimensions realizes the ultimate in driving.

●Interior

A driving cockpit that invites the driver of the M20b into the world of WRC. A 36.5cm diameter genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel provides the smooth steering work required by works drivers. The top of the stress-free, short-stroke shift boot features a machined aluminum shift knob. An original console box made of carbon three-dimensional molding with a triple gauge meter that meets the demands of hard driving. The center panel features a 260 km/h speedometer that stands out in Tommy Kaira red, as well as original Tommy Kaira meters. The cockpit, made of silver and carbon, is a functionally beautiful space dedicated to driving.

●Engine

An uncompromising accumulation of theory and prototypes. Tommykaira's confidence. Maximum output 297ps. Maximum torque 34.3kgm. A power unit that stands at the very top. Tommykaira's tradition and track record speak for itself, with characteristics and excellent response across the entire range that go beyond the potential expressed in numbers. It produces drivability with plenty of power befitting a pure sports car, and acceleration G that transports you to a different dimension.

●Front bumper spoiler

Tommy Kaira's original design spoiler has large openings above and below the bumper line for the air intake to maximize the cooling effect. Together with a pair of fog lamps, it creates an aggressive front view and brings out the M20b's presence.

●Rear wing

The rear wing, which gives an impression of a strong rear form, is made of glass fiber with a two-stage bridge. The high rectification effect in the high speed range is reflected in the improvement of stability through downforce at high speeds.

●Side decal

The flowing Tommykaira is the confidence and pride of a tuned car.

Where do you get your aesthetic inspiration from? you have such a specific feel to your music and art i wanted to know what inspires that! do you also have a pintrest?

There is so so much that inspires me in terms of visuals! I have been involved in zine-making and collecting since 2015, which is where a lot of the cut-and-paste type stuff comes from.

My teenage obsession with Drain Gang was honestly a massive source of inspiration for me, especially the artist behind Bladee's 333 album cover Claire Barrow. Lots of colors and little creatures. I'm also in love with the work Claire Barrow does with fibers, especially the Sweet Bitch scrunchies that Bladee wears in the Amygdala music video.

My mama has a BFA in textiles and does work as an interior designer so the homes I grew up in were always very distinctly intentional and beautiful. She likes a lot of mid-century modern type stuff, my favorite furniture pieces I grew up with where a yellow Eames rocking chair and a George nelson atomic ball clock. I have slept under a quilt that she made in college for years and years and it often functions as the core factor of the color palette of my spaces. No matter what I do to my bedrooms, that quilt always feels like the heart of it all.

growing up in the midwest also has had a big part in shaping my visual and musical styles, I think. Kansas sunsets are beautiful!! I love the prairie.

I'll leak my Pinterest to u all hehe, the username is luckybiter ! Im not super organized on there, my roomies and I mostly use it for decoration Inspo for the house. I have a board full of my favorite pictures I've taken in the midwest called Lurching Towards Utopia (reference to an unreleased song by my pal Park whose project is called Orchard Ladder, which you should definitely check out), and there's some June Henry 2025 fashion plans stuff on there, too.
