Director Stanley Kubrick intentionally manipulated the physical layout of the Overlook Hotel to induce a subconscious sense of spatial disorientation in the audience. Ullman’s office contains a large window with bright daylight streaming through, yet a geometric analysis of the hotel's interior reveals that the room is entirely surrounded by inner corridors. This impossible architecture serves as an early psychological cue that the laws of physics do not apply within the haunted resort.
