On one level I can appreciate the artistic level of detail... but on another... isn't that WAY too much effort for mere hand-rails, pillars and doors? Like just how much effort does this guy put into decorating supporting columns? Art is a luxury, but functionality is essential.... you could totally skip the art. That level of detail is like having a gold enamel frieze of a dragon on your toilet cistern. Totally unnecessary. Fuckin madlad.
