One thing's for sure though, that unique layout certainly plays a part in giving you a more interesting blank canvas for those who are creatively inclined.
Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are common in most building materials. And constant exposure to these chemicals is detrimental - not only to your health but also to the environment.
