#warehouse conversion

[hometoursandotherstuff]

I was very surprised by the interior of this home in Camberwell, South East London, England. Hidden behind a gated entrance, the former Victorian bus station now houses a magnificent 3bd. 2ba. loft over the upper 2 levels of this 1990 renovated building.  £1.550M - $1.919M

They went with a very industrial stainless steel look in the kitchen.

The large open main floor space is flexible and can be configured in different ways.

The floors are polished cement. 

At the opposite end of the apartment are two sizeable bedrooms (one with an en-suite shower room) and a family bathroom.

Love that they left the brick walls in original condition even when they put up new walls.

They built a decent-sized closet.

Both baths are on the main floor.

Love this window. It may not have originally been a window up this high. It was more than likely just a decorative brick feature.

The 3rd, and largest bd., is up on the mezzanine.

At the other end of the mezzanine is a glass encased roof top terrace.

Looking across Jones Bay to Darling Island and a beautiful warehouse conversion.

Sadly the blight of the Sydney Harbour foreshore is also in the shot.

While it was cool early, it will warm up to a wonderful spring day.

non-animal leather is actually worse for the environment. Since animal leather generally comes from animals that also bring other products (meat, milk, etc), the enviromental impact of leather as a single product is much lower than the alternative. n-a leather is most commonly made up from plastics like pvc and has to be fully constructed. So it's per product more energy intensive and even aside from that has a longer negative impact due to micro plastics. I hate that it's like this. I want lab meat and sustainably created envo-positive leather and lab cheese that tastes good :(

like i said in the previous post im not doing this for environmental reasons. us individuals reducing our carbon footprint isnt going to do shit because an astronomical percentage of the carbon footprint can be traced to like 100 corporations. going vegan to save the world isnt it, and judging vegans because of that is silly. im not doing this to be a beacon of morality. i just dont like animal cruelty.

Donmar Welcome Event 16th Jan 2024

Also went to a member's welcome event that the Donmar had, which was basically an hour where they served something to drink and told us a bit more about the theatre and the upcoming shows.

The invitation did say they'd have an exclusive tour of the place - on and off the stage - which I'd been quite excited about - but that didn't actually happen :(

Still, it was rather interesting! Learned a few things about Macbeth as well :)

Apparently, the stage stains very easily - which is why I'm baffled at how easy it apparently is to clean, but guess they must have some really lovely red dye that isn't as stainful as pretty much anything else that's dyed red. It also scratches easily - the movement on the stage can easily create little creases where the blood can get stuck.

I'd only seen the bloodbath on the floor once, so hadn't noticed, but was told that it comes up through the floor - probably why it differs so wildly each night how and where David is covered in it!

(As an aside to that - on the first night there wasn't a bloodbath - he was struck with the knife and there was a bit of blood on his shirt instead - now there's no blood at the wound)

Someone asked them about filming productions (not specifically about Macbeth - and they didn't say anything about it) and they told us about the process of deciding whether to record a production or not as it's a very costly affair to do so - which is why it's not something they just automatically do for everything.

They said that either the NT will ask them if they record a show - which means they do everything, and therefore is obviously the much cheaper option for themselves. The NT will let them know what benefits there might be in it for them - but as far as I understood they won't really earn much if anything from it.

So, the second option is for themselves to invest in filming a production by bringing in a third-party filming company that they pay for themselves. It's obviously a much more expensive way of doing it - but they'd also get more money back from it if it sells well in cinemas or online. Obviously, they have gone with the second option - so hopefully that's because they think it has really good marketing potential!

They mentioned that they are always very aware of the fact that not as many people get to see their performances as would probably like to see them - so it's always part of their considerations whether to film it or not when they create a new production.

One of them joked that they could probably keep up a production like Macbeth for three years and still sell-out - but that the theatre is known for putting on about 6 productions each year, so there's a limit to how long their runs can be - plus there's also the availability of actors to consider.

Someone asked if actors (I assume meaning, big name actors) takes a pay-cut to work with them - and yes, they do. Everyone is paid the theatre-standard no matter who they are. The only extra benefit they might offer big names is a taxi to get to the theatre and to escape back home afterwards.

Ah, yeah, think that was about it - everything else was more or less just about the upcoming productions, memberships, and other general things :)

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention that their focus will always be on the production as it's on, then on any potential transfers and then on releasing it for cinema/online - so if they filmed something it wouldn't be released until the live show is done - and sounded like they wouldn't necessarily say anything about it having been recorded (or not) until then as well. So don't think we will hear anything about the plan for it until the show is over.

Off Her Bricks

It started out so innocent.

Myka had taken Helena to the big box store in Sioux City, to get the necessities of finding yourself a reinstated agent living in a bed and breakfast in Nowhere, South Dakota. And they'd wandered past the toy section, and Helena had seen the pictures of assembled models, and her wonder and excitement had been so palpable that, while she'd been browsing sleepwear, Myka had sneaked a couple of boxes into the cart and hidden them under the stack of towels and sheets Helena had already picked.

She'd managed to keep them hidden from Helena until that evening, back at Leena's, and she would never forget how sheer delight had bloomed in Helena's face when Myka had handed the boxes to her.

Helena had built her very first LEGO model that very night.

"You guys better hurry back," Claudia said through the Farnsworth, voice tinny and face distorted in the small round lens. "I think H.G. has lost her marbles. Or bricks, as the case might be."

"What's Lady Cuckoo done now?" Pete asked, but Myka's heart had already sunk.

The retrieval had been almost too much for two agents, even a team as good as she and Pete were. It had taken weeks, and there had been a few close calls - too close for comfort. They'd snagged the artifact in the end, yes, but Myka remembered the phone call she'd had with Helena halfway through, the tension, the fervent good luck wishes, the almost-pleading "come back soon" - and she also remembered the calls that Helena had not picked up, when Claudia had eventually texted Myka back that Helena had shut herself in her room and wasn't coming out.

She remembered telling Claudia to try to find a way to distract Helena from being distraught; this was the life of a Warehouse agent, and no matter how much of "an understanding" had developed between Helena and Myka, no matter how much Myka commiserated, Helena had to find a way to handle it when Myka was in danger.

Maybe she should have been more... sensitive, about that.

Pete did put the pedal to the metal all the way from the airport to Leena's. Myka knew he was worried too, even if his worry had a different reasoning than hers. When he pulled in in front of the house, Myka put her hand on his arm. "Let me handle it."

He eyed her for a long, terse moment, then nodded. "This has got to stop, though," he said. "She can't- You shouldn't... This isn't good, Mykes."

"I know," she sighed. "She just... She needs time, Pete. She's been through a lot."

Again, a stare. Again, a nod. "All right. Let's go get your girl, then."

The scene in the hallway was... wild.

"Holy brickwork." Pete whistled softly. "She bought out the whole store?"

"No," came Claudia's voice, quiet and quavering, from the kitchen hallway. The young agent sidled over to them, and then all three of them were standing in the entryway, watching Helena kneel at the foot of the stairs, fixated on- "She bought someone's entire collection," Claudia whispered. "A week ago. Myka, I'm sorry, I didn't think this would happen!"

"It's okay," Myka whispered back. "I did say to distract her."

"Well, that worked," Pete said, grinning and shaking his head as he took in the construction that spanned almost the entire width and height of the stairs.

"I'll go talk to her," Myka said, and strode forward.

Former inter-war period light industrial unit & office, now converted to a warehouse apartment. Annandale.

[hometoursandotherstuff]

You know how I love my industrial lofts, so thanks to Ingek73 for sending this fabulosity in London. It's been used in the past as a studio/workshop and planning permission is now granted for a three bedroom residential dwelling. But, right now, it already has 2bds, 2ba, and is perfect just the way it is. £1.5M / $1.858M.

I love it- an exposed brick wall, and there's possibility in that upper loft. Look at the skylight- would be a great little art space.

Across the way is loft with a little chalet vibe.

This is kind of set up like my apt. The kitchen is under the loft. Cute. Look at the little skylight that looks like a window.

The view from the kitchen.

There's a table for 2, but you can fit a larger table in this space, and you can put stools at the counter, too.

Up in the loft is the primary bedroom, right now. Beautiful skylights and beams that remind me of an Amsterdam apt. on the canal.

I would have to find a better way to store clothes- don't have the patience to neatly fold everything.

I think that the stairs in the kitchen lead to this room. It would make a great rec room- look at the brick fireplace and access to the yard. Looks like they're using it as a studio.

Here's one of the baths with a laundry area.

The yard is cute, it's a paved patio and pretty spacious.

On the 5th floor of this warehouse conversion on Randle Street in Sydney’s Surry Hills, a mystery is in place.

Why have bars on a window this high from the ground and up a shear wall. And what’s with the stairs leading up to a ceiling.

I think it’s aliens.

[yuribalisms]

So I answer this phone call, and the lady is like “I’m getting the documentation to approve this” and I’m like oh thank GOD but then she says “I have to order you specific ear plugs that the company approves of :)” and I’m like “wait ear plugs as in to cancel all noise” and she’s like “yes :)” and I’m like “no this was about ear buds or headphones, things being completely silent is just as bad if not worse for my sensory issues” and she gets real quiet and is like “I’m a going to have to talk to your doctor about this then for some more clarification” and I’m like HFDJSIDKJDKDJDK that is what the letter SAIDD it specified ear buds so I can play things that I know help regulate my sensory issues and it also said in the letter to contact my therapist if anyone had more questions why are we even having this conversation are you fucking stupid it’s already been a MONTH since I turned all this in and now I have to wait even fucking longer because no one can read and wants to be as difficult as possible

The “lost” River Neckinger around St Saviour’s Dock where it meets the River Thames feels like it is from a different age altogether even though the warehouse conversions are relatively recent
