The house is located in the Belgian city of Ghent. Occupies one room of each of the four floors of the building. So I wonder whether it is more properly be called a flat or maisonette. Interesting decision is up to the windows and lights – not on each floor. If you were three would be as light. But I think this is most strange to her.

The ceiling is a little strange so left in the transverse reba, but not bad. (more…)
