Houses and Buildings

My dear friends,

I’m writing to you from the Earth. Yes, you didn’t misinterpret the previous sentence and this letter isn’t a spam. Unfortunately, I broke my time machine, lost my GPS, and as a result I’ve lost track of my location. Despite I encountered difficulties, I pooled my ideas, and decided to write this letter.

To begin with, I found myself near the building. I had a train of thought. However, I didn’t bury my head in the sand, knocked at the door, and a young tall man opened it. He raised his eyebrows because he didn’t anticipate seeing an alien opposite him. Nevertheless, he invited me to come in. He told me that his name is John and he’s an owner of a design company.  I told John my story and he did me a favour because he offered me to live in his house. This man also guaranteed me absolute safety. In order not to undermine his authority, he made a phone call to his secretary and told that he would be absent from work for a week.

As I was saying, I stayed in the John’s house. It is a two-storey cottage which is located in the suburbs of Nicosia in the Republic of Cyprus. This house has up to date interior. John used his initiative and didn’t stifle creativity when he designed the interior decoration. For example: he used a concertina door instead of an ordinary entrance door. There is a studio on the ground floor, where you can see a fitted kitchen, eight chairs around a square oak dining table, a cosy grey sofa with cushions, an orange armchair, a white standard lamp, a cabinet, and some paintings on the walls. A small fitted fireplace is in the front of the sofa. A coffee table is between the fireplace and the sofa. There is a TV in the corner. There is also a small grey carpet on the grey tiled floor. This room is very spacious because of the French windows. Mind you, there are all conveniences you need, such as electric heating, air conditioning, etc. Then you can go upstairs. There are wooden staircases with metallic handrails and glass instead of balusters. Moreover, there is a landing between two sets of stairs. However, there is more ample space in John’s cottage if to compare it to our dwellings. For example: there is actually only a balcony on the upper floor. There is also an airy loft in this cottage.

The exterior of John’s cottage is also cutting-edge. The house is made of wood and stone. Furthermore, it has got a wooden sloping roof. It’s also got an extensive garage and a drive. There are a small patio at the front of the cottage and a few flowerbeds. John also told me that this house is easily accessible and easy to maintain. All in all, I definitely feel at home.

Well, I should finish now because I need to do my time machine up. I hope, I will recondition it quickly and it will be in mint condition. I look forward to seeing you. Take care!

All the best

Yours,
