Things you never noticed about Olivia's apartment (2/7)


Have you ever felt lost in Olivia’s apartment scenes? Did you ever have the feeling something has changed but don't know what? You’re not alone! We noticed that too, so we investigated a little bit and found out that Olivia’s apartment is changing all the time. We’re going to expose the main "discoveries" we've made.


#2 Changes on the façade and the corridor

This is the façade of Olivia's apartment, appearing for the very first time in episode 1x06:




You'd think they'd want to show that Olivia lives in the apartment with the lights on, right? But according to this floor plan that's not possible, Olivia lives in the one with the lights off and that's in another building.



























This is the establishing shot for every episode but three:
1x12, 1x15 and 1x18












In 1x12 (The No-brainer) Olivia runs to her apartment to save Ella but the façade is not the one we know of.










In 1x15 (Inner Child) and 1x18 (Midnight) the image preceding Olivia's apartment scene is different. They changed the façade again! We can also see that façade on some episodes later on like 4x04.






Let's talk about the corridor now. This is how it looks in Season 1:




And this is the corridor in Season 2 and 3:


While she's clearly living in the same apartment, the corridor changes from season 2 onwards: there's no staircase and she no longer lives near the entrance of the building. Another goof!

More every three weeks!
