A bathroom for the blind?

I've seen these in hospitals. They allow medical professionals to check on patients using the restrooms.

Most of the posts on this thread are minor inconveniences. This one is serious, a multimillion dollar project that isn't safe to use and where the danger is hidden from the motorists.

Half fire ladder, half fireman’s pole

Hydro electricity

Wheeeeeeeee! *splat*

God, the top of that picture makes it look like the toilet is behind old western saloon doors.

I guess there was more of a need for washing hands than using the toilet.

That's not that bad. Would be better if it didn't slope like that, instead being a half-dome.

Had a helipad installed at our office. On the inspection it was found they had read the plans upside down somehow and instead of being a raised mound they had dug a pit. Just the thing for walking into rotors.

Thank God it's locked 🔒

Well, I hear flying cars have started to hit the market.

Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou, extraction ducting

The sign is not pointing to the right hand stairs, but a ramp or elevator that is out of shot.

Parkour banking.

Performance art.

Glitch in the Ai pathing for the npc.

Please shut the gate !

This has undoubtedly been closed off because the steps have degraded, making the staircase dangerous. So arguably the materials used may have been a poor design choice for this location (in conjunction with environmental conditions and lack of maintenance), but the fact that the stairs don't currently go anywhere would be a remedial situation, not the intentional design.

Anyone could just walk in. I imagine clunking as one lets go every time.

Another exercise in decorative architecture.

Dog needed something to stand behind and bark.

And the 'not my job' award goes to..

I swear that reminds of the ExCel Center in London!

At one point, the two floors were a single store. That has since changed. This sort of remodeling is common in places where houses have been broken up into apartments.

The bottom right of the picture looks like some sort of projector, which could explain the chandelier being moved over.

That's the door for that stairway to nowhere.

Expansion.

Test road for new paint formulations.

How do you get up there, teleportation or forklift?

What's the problem? Who is going to see you through that window?

Someone has made apartments out of a house....

Such a shame, that’s a beautiful bannister

Staircase 9-3/4.

New: fire-escape obstacle course!

Used to be a shop, or something. Bricked over part is clearly visible.

You can see where the stairs used to be.

Supermarket Nine and 3/4?

That's what an earthquake does

Oh! It's the Hollerith Building!

The building looks like a Georgian-era warehouse or factory, so that would have been for getting heavy goods in or out that were too heavy to take up the stairs. There will have been a block-and-tackle lifting device fixed above the door.

Doesn't look like a failure to me. More like clever use of the space w/o blocking the walkway.

Get a lot of really deep winter snowdrifts there, do they?

Looks like this is just for decoration, pool access is at the other end.

Just as well they weren't tasked to dig a tunnel from both ends to meet in the middle.

Could be storage space.

So now I'm picturing someone inside opening those doors, then a box truck backs up there to load or unload.

5 dispensers for 3 sinks.

Not a fail - original doorway bricked up and balcony left in place?
