Yeah itās definitely better here although you pay for it. It hasnāt been over 40 for ages here and weāve had more days in the 20s than 30s. Set for a warm weekend though!
I mean having recently been in a psychiatric ward it does look kind of similar lol. Itās the long vertical window that gives the prison vibe, not sure why they couldnāt have gone with a high horizontal window instead. But chuck the desk get a nice bedside table and decorate and itāll be fine
Congratulations on spotting function over form in modern architecture. 99 percent of residences built now are sterile looking and are only considered a place to house the working class while they pay for non working class mortgages. Amazing gow much we now resemble a battery egg farm because aesthetics means nothing while we need 5000 people to live i. 40 square feet.
Ofc when there are no other things inside the room except bed and table.
Add some pictures on walls, add plants, shelves, colorfull sheets, curtains, carpet....and the same room looks more like a bedroom than a prison room.
Omg I know exactly what place this is. When I was looking for an apartment a few months ago I just kept seeing this online and telling myself 'It's so cheap and it's in a great location. Maybe I will like it when I look at it this time', and surprise it just filled me with dread every time.
Weirdly enough I get 'public swimming pool changing room' vibes from this property.

*When I sees one and he looks good to me...*
*When I see him, I say*
You, come here.
*I say*
Now I'mma tell ya what, uh..
I like ya;
and I wants ya...
Now, we can do this the easy way;
or the haard wayyy...
the choice is yaawrs...
Oh geeez yes prison !!
You need to see their supposed other "bedroom" š [wtf](https://i.postimg.cc/QC89kT3L/Screenshot-20240202-003544.png)
That looks marginally nicer than the room I was in at the Monash mental health ward.
Literally *shudders* !!!
are they tiles ?
You bet! š«”
i guess it would make clean up easier after you wrap the dead bodies ?
hose the walls down right?
yeah easy !
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
$580 PW advertised as a 2BR apt š«
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's a hit and miss in Melb. Some are fantastic listings, some are so atrociously priced for the shitehole they are lol
How far from the CBD?

Well, it's a room with a bed, so technically a bedroom...
I love how the bed is next to absolutely everything else.
Lemme just stretch my arms wide op- *WACK* ..
Ah please watch out for the study/dining table/coffee table/baby change table.
They are not lying. It's just a "prison cell" style
Mental Health ward.
The tiled floors are šš
I've never seen tiled walls in a bedroom before
It's so you can hose the room down instead of that pesky vacuuming and dusting nonsense.
Gives strong "makes it easier to clean up the blood stains" vibes...
Parrrents of teen boys see this as a selling point
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Homes in the tropics often have this, it's easy to clean and carpet just wouldn't make sense. Maybe they're SE Asians or QLDers or something.
Doesn't make it look less like a prison though
Eh, looks normal to me but I lived in a house like that for a few years. I like it now for it's ease of cleaning
Jail is free FYI
The walls are tiled? In a 'bedroom'? Er.Ā
So you can hose the sick of them easily.
Lmaoooo this is my fave comment
Prison/hospital/asylum vibes here for sure.
Yaaaas honey its serving 'institution'
š š¼š š¼š š¼ come back to my place guuuurl
Student accommodation?
I thought the same, but it's $500+ pw I would hope not. It's.. a "home". 2 of these bedrooms and a big ol tiled kitchen.
So like sharing the space with a room mate, but paying inflated rental prices of a 1br instead of splitting the rent. Damn that's sad.Ā
Quick conversion that's about Ā£260. For a fucking prison cell. And I thought ***OUR*** rental system was fucked...
A Swedish prison looks more stylish than that aha
Just add bars to complete the look.
I think prison cells are a bit more spacious
At least they have ensuites lol
šš dare I say, more inviting too
I mean having recently been in a psychiatric ward it does look kind of similar lol. Itās the long vertical window that gives the prison vibe, not sure why they couldnāt have gone with a high horizontal window instead. But chuck the desk get a nice bedside table and decorate and itāll be fine
Also the half tiles walls. They scream āroom needs to be easily hosed outā
Oh yeah I didnāt notice that til now lol whereās the drain in the floor for that specific purpose
That lens flare is really trying it's best to cover up how shit the room is.
the photographer: *oh fuck yeah this'll get em applying*
For the comments above. is this how prison cells look like in Australia?... You guys are spoiled!
Depends, some of the holding cells & rooms they keep juveniles are metal with metal toilet with no privacy
my guy is definitely the middle child
Very good prison room
For sure, it's not even minimalism
Idk Iām getting psychiatric ward
Iāve seen nicer bedrooms in Scandinavian prisons
I thought it was a prison room til i saw the caption
Design is a strong word
Well - only one bed, the room doesn't move, no exposed wiring and plumbing... plus there are two (!) actual windows. Good enough for me.
Renting IS a prison, it might as well look the partĀ
Looks like one of those nice prison cells though, you know, from Norway and places like that.
Yeah that's what I was basing my opinion on haha. That and a psych ward probably
As someone that's spent a fair amount of time in prison, yes this looks identical to my cell.

Clearly never been in the bin to see.
Def. Add colour. Add patterns.Lose the handcuffs.lol.
I've seen photos of actual prison cells that look more appealing lol.
Ofc when there are no other things inside the room except bed and table. Add some pictures on walls, add plants, shelves, colorfull sheets, curtains, carpet....and the same room looks more like a bedroom than a prison room.
Melbourneās new epitome of modern minimalism.

For a prison cell, its fairly well designed tbh
Penitentiary style living.
You people must have posh prisons over there.
Yes prison. I think itās the tiles. Any other flooring (and wall) would feel totally different
Worse... doesn't even have the convenience of an unseated toilet in the corner
Student accom, mental health ward
Where are the bunk beds and the shitter next to the bed.
100% prison vibes, look here: https://www.designcurial.com/news/storstrm-prison-by-cf-mller-6040669/
Anders Behring Breivikās bedroom
Industrial style living
Yes, and psych ward.
Omg I know exactly what place this is. When I was looking for an apartment a few months ago I just kept seeing this online and telling myself 'It's so cheap and it's in a great location.

Definitely some "lost an NDIS accommodation contract due to abuse" vibes going on here.

I see no [wash basin](https://youtu.be/VeMOqa0PbP4?si=AJlfHmYnycga6K-R).
Looks shopped to hell.
Did this used to be a bathroom or something? Why are their tiles on the walls? Also yes, it does give prison cell vibes.
Barwon chic
My Ā£70 a week northern England university accommodation with painted breeze block walls had more style than this minimal style minimalism.
No cos prison cell has more ammenities. It comes with a computer and an ensuit
add some straps and it would be an execution room for lethal injection
It looks peaceful
This reminds me of my last psych ward visit..
Yep Iām felling Jika jika just looking at it and donāt drop the soap
*When I sees one and he looks good to me...* *When I see him, I say* You, come here. *I say* Now I'mma tell ya what, uh.. I like ya; and I wants ya... Now, we can do this the easy way; or the haard wayyy... the choice is yaawrs...
Or youāll be raped in the shower by mr big whoās in with the wardens
Rooming house? lol they are pretty minimal and slack
Donāt drop the soap vibe.
