High Chaparral Office

The Office is an example of a truly impossible room. As the photos below demonstrate, the office door and the master bedroom door would create spaces that collide with each other in mid-air. Even without the bedroom door, the space from the office door to the stairwell does not allow enough room for what we see to the right of the door when we enter the office. That wall includes a small chest or stand, John's desk, and even a tall cabinet beyond that. The window opposite John's desk is also an impossibility since it would be looking into the kitchen, not the outdoors.

The office appears to also have a fireplace in the location of the master bedroom door. In the fireplace department, altogether that makes two fireplaces and a large cook stove on the lower level, three fireplaces and a stove on the upper floor, outdoor grills next to the summer kitchen and the bunkhouse, and a fireplace and a stove in the bunkhouse. That's a lot of wood for someone to be chopping. They have very clean burning wood though because it gives off so little smoke that there doesn't seem to be a need for chimneys.
