Whacked Out Floor Plan Scores Low

A photography teacher once looked at my work and said I was very recto-linear. I don't think he meant it as a compliment.

But in certain things, recto-linear is an important, positive quality. Like in floor plans.

G and I have looked at luxury apartments in new Battery Park City developments in which a major room is shaped more like a triangle or a parallelogram. In those rooms, you must draw a rectangle inside the unusual shape to calculate the real, or usable, square footage.

A lot of apartments in New York have a weirdly shaped room. But this one looks like a fun house. Every room looks off-kilter. Here is the full listing.

$425K seemed too low for a place of + or - 750 square feet. No wonder it is plus or minus. Who can do the math?

This apartment scores a lunar eclipse for its sheer wackiness. Who plunked down the money for this the first time around, I wonder, and what were they thinking?
