8. About the corporate-like glass door
October 10, 2025•219 words
Yep, a glass door in an apartment, the pinacle of bad taste, you read it correctly. 
The door that leads to the living/dining/kitchen from the corridor is a whole glass door with stainless steel door handle. 
Every day, I feel like I am either entering a clinic or an office. 
I am always afraid of hitting it with some object and consequently break it. 
And, and, just opposite of this glass door is the door to the toilets (I have separate toilets but I do have another one in the bathroom that, needless to say, is never used for what it should be). 
So, if I had placed my sofa where the so-called architect expected it to be placed, then, I would have a direct view to the toilets from my living room thanks to this glass door. 
It is the most dangerous, useless, tasteless, kitsch, unconvenient door you can possibly install in an apartment, and I think that, in most offices or clinics, the door is at least blurred. 
Needless to say that it is another hassle you have to consider when cleaning your apartment. 
It seems that Germans would see this type of door very chic and convenient, I guess for allowing light into the corridor. 
Truly, the German interior architect mind is a mystery to me.
