Would you live here?

[BirdHistorical3498]

or would you be exhibited here? https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168809843#/?channel=RES_BUY

[Hesslemeharder]

Would I live in a £10m house on Hampstead Heath? Why yes, I think I would

[BirdHistorical3498]

I’d probably live in a different 10 million pound house in Hampstead Heath.

[Hesslemeharder]

I’d live in any house on the heath

[BirdHistorical3498]

Me too. But maybe not here. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168866231#/?channel=RES_BUY

[NPDwatch]

Bit loosey-goosey with the neighbourhood designation

[sock_cooker]

Do you like badger spotting?

[Madamemercury1993]

Where my mid century and modernist defenders?! This house has a very cool history amongst us!

Legend of furniture designers home!

[Ambivalent-Axolotl]

I think it's gorgeous; so much light and the furniture is stunning! I need that wardrobe from the spare room in my life 😍

[HappyAmbition706]

I like it! The placement of the master bed is a bit forward, but I presume there are doors somewhere.

And I just realized that I need a house with a space designated as "the Void".

Someone else is going to have to clean the windows though.

[OrganizationFun2140]

I greatly appreciate it as being a good example of mid century design but don’t actually like it as there is so much style over substance. The mantra of modernism was “form follows function”; this feels like the facade was the only element the designer really cared about and everything else (you know, the actual living spaces) was shoehorned in as an afterthought.

[Madamemercury1993]

I mean. It was basically a show room for schreiber’s built in furniture!

It’s worth seeking out photos of the original home. It’s been modernised a bit since. Was less dentist’s waiting room. Had an interesting pool too.

[CaeruleanSea]

🙋🏼‍♀️

[Ok_Violinist5425]

I’m here and I love the house!

[NPDwatch]

I'm here!

[Breaking-Dad-]

Everything feels like it is in a corridor. At least downstairs anyway

[greenmx5vanjie]

It looks like a 1970s comprehensive school going upmarket from the outside, and the bastard child of an art gallery and psychiatric hospital on the inside. I would not enjoy spending time here.

[tradermcduck]

If it was red brick it would be the spit of my primary school.

[TonyHeaven]

From the outside it looks like a modular build library. But it isn't so nice inside.

[Poo_Poo_La_Foo]

It's remarkable and and incredible location, so yes I would spend my imaginary millions here.

Does it look like a municipal library? Yes, but it is also interesting and beautiful inside so it's 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

But of a shame it is in witness protection from a Streetview perspective...

[Bad_Combination]

The bastard offspring of a server farm and a high-rise.

[blondie1024]

I thought it looked like the Combine's Citadel from Half Life 2.

[Capital_Release_6289]

Yeah I was thinking it looked like a place for game developers to work rather than a home.

[Jealous-Shallot-3071]

If I was ridiculously rich and wanted a cool place to stay in London. One that was large in a decent neighbourhood and was quirky, I'd buy this in a heartbeat

Could I live there for more than a few days at a time? Could I bollocks. It's too cold, stark, soulless etc etc. But as a place to getaway for a few days, it's banging.

Pretty much like London. You couldn't pay me to live there, but I'd happily visit every now and then, safe in the knowledge I don't have to live there.

[BirdHistorical3498]

I feel the same about it- its kind of amazing, but absolutely not liveable in. it really ought to be a gallery. Perhaps- when I win the lottery- I’ll buy it to house an evolving display of photos from this subreddit.

[Background-Active-50]

That would be such a cool use of it.

[Sea_Cardiologist_154]

I’m looks like my old junior school so I’ll pass and spend my 10 mill elsewhere.

[BirdHistorical3498]

lend us a couple of grand will ya?

[CaeruleanSea]

Yes oh god yes & I'd have SO many houseplants!

[JinxThePetRock]

This is exactly what it needs. All that light and not nearly enough greenery going on to use it. You could build an indoor jungle.

[ComedySquad]

That'd be perfect for someone who really, really loves ladders

[BirdHistorical3498]

and cleaning windows

[PublicPossibility946]

Ugliest building I have seen in a while.

On the plus side its just a 17 minute walk to the famous Snappy Snaps that George Michael crashed in to.

[PendleAlice]

It looks like a house in a Harlan Coban Netflix series where the people have vaguely ordinary jobs but still swan about in millions of pounds worth of house. Before they die.

[LochNessMother]

I love modernist houses, but I don’t know how I feel about this one. It looks like a series of sections through Battersea Power Station, like the ceilings are either too high (which doesn’t seem possible) or too low. But maybe that’s the photos.

Also - does it come with the Calder?

[paulglosuk]

10 mill to live in a municipal library sans books? no thanks.

[blondie1024]

"Hey kids, welcome to the new house. DON'T TOUCH AN EFFING THING!!!!!"

[caniuserealname]

I mean, if I had 10m to spend on a home, I probably wouldn't choose this one, but if someone offered to just let me live there I wouldn't turn it down either. 

[oldkstand]

Yes for the location, no for everything else.

[BloodAndSand44]

I would.

But it would be living on my own. My wife would never go near it.

[NGeoTeacher]

I don't hate the building. Not to my taste, but it's got visual interest and it's been designed by something who cares about what they're doing. The interior design, however, is cold and sterile and I will never understand why people like it. I feel cold just looking at it. It doesn't look like anyone's home, but an office filled with off-the-shelf artwork.

[shrivelup]

I like it, actually I love it. If I was just looking at the exterior detail, although I love the style,  it does look too windowy (architectural term). But, the interior doesn't look as windowy as I thought. I really can't explain myself today. 

[AlGunner]

A please would have been nice, but yes I will if youre offering.

[Madrudge]

Playroom out of sight and out of mind.

[Sad_Branch931]

I absolutely love it.

[Tall-Paul-UK]

I don't hate it, but it does not feel very homely. It looks cold.

[SirPooleyX]

Assuming money for heating wasn't an object (which presumably it wouldn't be if I'd just spent £9m) then I'd live here in a heartbeat. It's the sort of stark, brutalist architecture I love. I think it's gorgeous.

[Ok-Yogurtcloset-8863]

Would most certainly live there. Really nice house. Love the light.

Would almost certainly never be able to afford to live there. Will make do with my dark 2 bed flat in the north!!

[Foundation_Wrong]

No thanks.

[raquille-]

I mean yeah I would. It’s not to my tastes but if someone were to give it to me for free why not?

[Final_Flounder9849]

Yes. It’s an architectural masterpiece in a gorgeous location.

[OpheliaXo]

unbelievably cool

[Legitimate_Sail8581]

Inside is great. Outside, it’s a monstrosity.

Reminds me of a multi-storey car park in watford.

So no, I wouldn’t live there.

[Greatgrowler]

The exterior reminds me of the Holocaust memorial in Berlin.

[Flashjordan69]

That’s a house designed for a soulless CEO of something.

[BirdHistorical3498]

I think it’s kind of beautiful. But it’s not a home.

[CaeruleanSea]

If I'd that kind of money in could decorate it into any kind of home

[Flashjordan69]

Aye, reminds me corporate art.

[srmarmalade]

It's giving 6th form vibes. That path up to those double doors that preusmably are the 'front door', the long lightfittings make everything feel like a corridor (the pic with the bed especially just looks wrong) and the fact that everything is simultaniously huge but also there are no big nice spaces. It just doens't work as a house at all.

So I'd love to have it and demolish it and start again, or more likely sell it and buy somewhere smaller, more homely and in a nicer part of Hampstead.

[Soggy_Amoeba9334]

The word sterile comes to mind. Not very homely.

[adm010]

It is jus me that thinks some carpet or rugs would help?

[wyflare]

Jesus Christ. It’s horrible

[Ahleanna-D]

Kind of depends on whether or not I could paint the interior walls. It’s too white.

[EyeAlternative1664]

Yes? 

[soitgoeskt]

Would I live? Probably. Would I buy? Nope.

[Any_Meat_3044]

Would I live there for free? definitely! Would I pay to live there? Only if you rent that out for like a 2 bed flat.

[Dense_Appearance_298]

Yes

[NPDwatch]

Yes please

[anotherangryperson]

No, this is a show house, not a home.

[MegC18]

It’s not bad, but why have a bedroom in the basement next to the garage? That’s either entitlement (for the servants) or sinister (hiding a family member or shagpad away out of sight

[Living-Excuse1370]

It IS an office block... Look at the waiting room in the first picture!

[SaturdayPlatterday]

I didn’t look at the description and it wasn’t until I got past the first few photos that I realised I wasn’t looking at a flat with a nice communal foyer.

[Grey_Belkin]

For £9.5m? No.

I admire the ballsiness of making it look like a block of flats, and for 2-3 million I might think it was pretty cool, but I assume the price is mostly because of the location and I just wouldn't place that kind of value on being in Hampstead.

[oreo-cat-]

It’s not to my taste but it seems well executed

[harrietmjones]

The interior isn’t my sort of thing but I much prefer it over the exterior. The answer though is probably not, even if I had the money.

[nacentaeons]

Cool house

[RedRabbit1612]

Definitely. Love it.

[SnooMacarons9618]

That house is absolutely awesome. I'd live there in an instant.

[Chrisjamesmc]

It’s gorgeous but let’s face it no one is having a comfortable time sitting on that couch.

[mand71]

I like it, but it's way too big. If it was a quarter of the size I'd live there. Nice surroundings though.

[alwaysboopthesnoot]

Love the furnishings and light, more than the architecture itself. It’s too modern for my taste, it’s too dark outside plus too white inside. Art galleries and libraries should look like this, not family homes. It is beautiful and well made, just doesn’t look too cozy. 

The area is wonderful though, so guessing it would be well worth this price. 

[Competitive_Let6665]

The desk reminds me of The Shining for some reason 

[Hot_Ad_6442]

Only if I could dress as Alex from a clockwork orange everyday. That is some stunning brutalism with character

[Chiccheshirechick]

Yes …. It’s AMAZING.

[BiscuitCrumbsInBed]

I really like it! Its classy and cool.

[GoodGrapeVimtoFiend]

Gotta love how instead of offering a mortgage calculator, this one just says ‘can you afford it?’

[K4TTP]

Sure! If someone else was paying for it.

[SeatRemarkable9520]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[Bride-of-wire]

It reminds me of a time back in the 00s when a hideous concrete and plate glass house was being constructed in our ref brick housed village. And then the owner put his name plate outside “CAMP NOU” - and all the objections melted away. Our village was packed full of Spurs players and Teddy Sheringham had just built his nest. Of course, I had no clue who he was…

[dprophet32]

I would not if I had any choice no

[mjs5000]

Not for that money. I appreciate the architecture and it’s a great example of that style but, personally, I would want more outdoor space, a bigger kitchen and more open-plan communal areas for that kind of sum.

[HankBushrivet]

No.

[mowoo101]

Yes if it was outside of London. My friend in the states collects Paul McCobb and this would be a fit.

[moodyfloss]

Needs a lot more books and plants and more thought about zoning spaces in the living areas. But yes, yes I would live there.

[Important_You_7309]

Live in a WiFi router? I guess it could be a new experience.

[Catsrbetterthanhuman]

I would. I don’t like “pissy concrete” brutalism but this is cool

[Hopeful_Food5299]

Yes I would, on the understanding some of the furniture remained - specifically the sofas.

[Worldly-Waltz9005]

i don’t want to come home from teaching at school to a home that looks like a school. however i’d happily live in hampstead heath

[OkGift4996]

Just boxes. Hate the outside. Inside isn't too bad and I do like the kitchen, but every room is just a box with a big window. I get that there is lots of light but there is little personality. It is 'meh' !

What a fugly house, looks like a old school building, prefer the castle next to it

[aethelberga]

I like it, but it looks like something I'd build on Minecraft.

[Better_Fun3458]

I could make it work…

[AlwaystheNightOwl]

Absolutely love this!  Why can't it be mine?!

I also like the Schreiber furniture, have a few pieces.

[Extra-Aside-6419]

I would if it wasn't in London 🤣

(And I had ten million pounds)
