I rarely draw environments and I hope that in the future I will be able to draw the design of his house and rooms. Vogel's house is rather lonely, strange and ancient. It’s always cold there, he has problems with the heating. His walls are always covered with blueprints, sketches, lists, tables, magazine clippings, as if he is always preparing for the end of the world. His desk is always covered with piles of papers and drawing supplies. He has a storage room reserved for books and papers.

He has a bed, but he most often sleeps curled up on the couch or at the table. He cuddles with a blanket or a pillow if he does sleep in a bed. He has a lot of strange old things, in particular, he collects things he took from the corpses of people he killed.
