when i was staying in ivrea in northern italy i had the opportunity to put up in the “typewriter” la serra hotel. it’s ugly, impractical, but iconic. each room had split levels, with sitting area below and sleeping area above. i had to crawl on the stairs to avoid hitting my head when i needed to sleep. it’s no longer in operation but structure is preserved for posterity.
