Top-Floor Corner Two-Room Flat

The photographs in this listing were taken with a smartphone, in the flat and in the communal garden. 19 of the 20 published photographs went through a generative image model (Google's Nano Banana family, used via the Higgsfield platform); the twentieth, the view from the window over the communal garden, was corrected for light and colour only, with ordinary photo-editing software. Of those 19, five were edited for light and colour only (the two views of the port and the gulf, the shower, the building seen from the garden and the façade), and fourteen were also edited to remove the personal belongings and loose furnishings that cluttered the rooms. Removed: rugs; paintings, prints and decorative plates on the walls; ornaments and objects on the furniture, on the shelves and in the glass cabinets; cushions, throws, doilies, tablecloths and towels; table and floor lamps; an armchair, a television, a wall clock, two wall shelves, a small countertop oven, an ironing board and a stool; in the kitchen, utensils, cloths and items on the worktop; in the bathroom, a coat rail, a brush, the toilet brush, a cloth, the bottles and a metal cover on the step; in the garden, a plant stand with pots.

The beds were made up with white linen, the toilet lid was lowered and, in one photograph of the living room, the window that was open in the shot was closed. Deliberately left in place: the large furniture (the wall unit, the sofa, the wardrobes, the chests of drawers), the ceiling lights, the curtains, the appliances, the gas stove and the air conditioner; in some photographs, objects the model did not remove also remain, such as a lamp, a few pictures and some cushions. Where an object was removed, the part of the wall, floor or furniture it hid was not photographed: the model reconstructed it plausibly — for example the back of the sofa where the cushions were, and the top of the dining table, which was covered by the tablecloth in the shot.

In three places the model did more than it was asked to, and we say so: in one photograph of the bedroom it removed an electrical socket and drew a wooden bed frame and headboard that are not visible in the original photograph; in the bathroom, in place of the metal cover, it drew a tiled step; in the photograph of the façade it straightened the verticals. Nothing else was changed: dimensions, ceiling heights, openings, floors, windows and doors, building services and finishes are as photographed, and no defect has been softened or hidden — the long, unmown lawn of the communal garden, the hairline cracks and cables on the façade and the marks on the bathroom tiles are as they are. The views of the port and the gulf match the shot.

Light and colour were corrected as in ordinary photo retouching. The original, unedited photographs are available on request; a viewing remains the only reference for the actual condition of the property.
