This is the interior of the Melnikov house, which Russian architect Konstantin Melnikov designed and built for himself in the 1920's. I had never heard of it before today and I'm excited by it's innovative geometry. It reminds me a little bit of a a castle, but the light is better. I like how they furnished it for the photograph (I think it has been preserved as a museum) because I can picture human beings actually living in the place. The stairs are a bit treacherous looking.
Yes, I've always secretly wanted a castle, or at least a tower, for a home. I think my dream house vision has shifted after seeing this.
