This is the Badger Bar in Rydal. Lake District, England. I’ve been in there!
I just know some dude is gonna come along and pee on it.
At least a few times a day.
Hope there’s a drain in the floor so the cleaner can simply hose down the rockface.
Went to school with a kid who had a rockface like this in his house, they had to keep the door to the room closed at all times because somehow little garter snakes were getting into the room through small entrances in the rock.
Look at real estate listings in Yellowknife Canada. You will see lots of basements or garages have rock come from the floor and walls like this. Looks really cool, and is easier than blasting rock just to place foundation.
Edit:spelling.
Yoo, this is sick!
That rock face provides great insulation and natural heating.
That rocks
Don’t forget to pull the hot tap
Reminds me of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/QE2REjfjWT) place.
Open since the 1100s and built into the rock.
NGL I absolutely love this.
I do love Radon.
Also saving on furnishing the interiors.
A relative bought a house where the foundation was basically carved into a granite ledge. The rear wall was all granite and the sides sloped down with poured concrete finishing the top of that and the front wall.
Surprise, surprise, the inspection revealed radon issues that had to be mitigated to close the sale.
Looks like base building in a survival crafter game.

Hot Tap
Please pull me after use

You should see the restrooms “at the bottom” at Carlsbad Caverns national park in the US.
Gneiss.
Honestly, this is giving “bathroom meets boss battle arena” vibes, and I’m kinda here for it.
That’s a rock solid question…
Cobden’s Hotel?
Edit: I see it’s somewhere in the Lakes. Cobdens has a similar bar, can’t remember the bathroom…
it does look epic tho.
That’s really cool, I want to go there
That’s dope actually
Rock and stone!
Why? Well, I mean radon for one…
That rock is definitely covered in piss.
That’s frikin cool.
Especially when you can get a fantastic architectural feature for next to nothing.
Honestly, that is pretty damn cool
That is really beautiful and unique
But not in a public restroom. Not here in America at least. So much piss and no one is gonna seriously clean that daily.
Less expensive than tearing it out and better for everyone.
Whoever did that countertop work should win a medal.
I can barely get straight edges square, this person comes along and cuts it to match that irregular surface? C’mon.
I did tile for a few years. One time, in Marin, I did a wine cellar around a large boulder like this. I have never made more money in one week than I did that week. If my knees could handle it I’d probably still be doing the work.
Odds of someone pissing on that are astronomical.
Just pee on the rocks
Okay but that’s gorgeous
Looks like my base in rust
That’s the definition of in the way.
Biggest kidney stone I’ve ever passed.
I just want to know why you have to pull the hot tap after use 😳
I usually shit a brick when I am angry. I don’t know what emotion this is.
