    And while we’re at it, these yellow-lit interiors with brown tiles were pretty too.

      I’m pretty sure the yellow and brown was just from all the indoor chain smoking

      I like this look. It has this aura of beautiful golden light about it. It has that aura without going the full gaudy gilded look like you would find in something the president built.

        That golden light would look great on my water bed and lava lamp collection.

          Two things are better on a water bed… One of them is sleep

          Have literally never heard a positive experience of fucking on a water bed. Can’t imagine it would be enjoyable.

    Huh I’ve never seen a wall of these and I’m old enough to remember the 70’s. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement windows with

      It must be a regional thing as we’re probably about the same age. Growing up in CA, I frequently saw portions of walls made of these, especially in businesses and universities. One house by me had a cool turret staircase with alternating wall sections made of these glass bricks. There wasn’t much privacy at night, although you could only make out vague shapes.

    Yes, but only with a way to get some air in and out.

    In my daughters student dormitory, the large corridor linking all the apartments on a level has such a glass wall. 100% closed, no way to air this out.

      100% because it is a fire wall or regulations ask for it.

        I don’t know what you’re talking about, it would be hell to run cat6 through that. I’d definitely route around it and put the firewall in an adjacent room.

        The wall material is so hard you’d think it was meant to stop an actual fire.

    Also, teraco as floor material. It cleans easily and it stupidly resistant to damage.

          And the best version is by Doctor Spin aka. Andrew Lloyd Webber. The guy who wrote the most famous songs in Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, etc.
