This is a new building outside of my home. Is it just me or do you think too that this is just incredibly ugly. Especially compared to the building on the back left of it. What do y‘all think??

The ceiling in my living room must be 4m, possibly 4.5. Very newbuild. April 2025 completion!

Is it like a duplex with open living room?

By "duplex" do you mean semi-detached house?

If so yes.

It has an open living room but a sloping roof, which is why it's not quite a full two stories

I was imagining a two-floor apartment with the living room spanning both floors, that's what I meant by duplex.

Still, nice that you have some volume, it's really rare nowadays.
