If you've ever lived in an apartment building, you've probably caught glimpses of your neighbors' units in passing. Chances are, they always look and feel drastically different from yours. And it makes sense, since no two people have the exact same aesthetic. 

Romanian photographer Bogdan Girboven explores the ways in which people express their individuality through their living spaces with his photo series, "10/1."

The project, which we first spotted on BuzzFeed, shows 10 identical apartments on 10 different floors in Girboven's building — each with its own unique furniture, decor, and aesthetic.

"To better illustrate the mixture of several social classes under the same roof," Gibroven took a picture of each apartment room from the same angle, the photographer told INSIDER.

Here's a closer look at his mesmerizing series.
