The flat that George and his mother live in is in the top of the building. An elevator can be used to reach the different floors. Kay's flat is located directly beneath George's. Underneath the building is an underground parking lot. The main room is said to be very white in color. In the living room, there is a brass bust of George's mother. George's mother's room is not described in detail, but there is a small space in the cupboard that is meant to hold suitcases. It is in this space that George likes to sit, mainly because it feels safe and because it smells like his mother.
