Optical defect due to planning error - depreciation?

I would consider whether the monstrosity can be concealed with an arch. This could then be repeated slightly smaller as a cornice throughout the entire room.

Do you get that back? Such a hype ;) can look really bad in a modern building though

...can look really terrible in a modern building

Yes, especially if the walls are low. Judging by the pictures, I wouldn’t exactly assume a ceiling height of 2.75m. But the stair landing is really just so ridiculous. I would put that on a poster for the architect and present it as a framed picture.

Is that happening again? Such a hype ;) but with a modern building it can look really crappy

I have to admit, I find them beautiful. I get weak for this kind of kitsch. :rolleyes: Here is an Ebay offer that I could well imagine for the problem: No. 311600578492 He won't be upset if you show his picture, will he? I don't think so:

So because of the one lump, I certainly wouldn't take down the ceiling or call the plasterer to "beautify" the whole room like that. It's a very specific style that's created with it, of course you have to want that. If you don't particularly like country house style or some kind of historicized style, it's not really anything. Once the thing is cleaned and painted, no one will notice anymore. I would negotiate a goodie with the general contractor.

is left speechless here by these suggestions [emoji6]
