When Norman chooses to utilize the virtual reality spaces created by Elias in The Cube, he will most often choose to make a replica of his room in the Lower East Side penthouse at the Tudor City building. The furniture layout changes a little between Spider-Man 1 and 2, but I am sharing screenshots from both to give as complete a picture of the space as possible. Let's start with a top-down view, then go clockwise from the entrance...

Click on images to see them full-size!


The room from above after Norman's death. The most notable changes are the position of the armchair and chaise lounge.
This doorway leads out to the hall in the penthouse, but in the Cube it would simply lead back out to reality.
A wider view of the entrance that shows some of the Western wall.
The Northern wall, with a decent view of the loft area up above. This is the clearest look we get at the loft in both movies, but it looks like another sitting area.
Another view of the Northern wall, this time after Harry starts living in the room. The loft isn't as visible but it gives a good sense of the space!
A full view of the East wall with its massive fireplace. I headcanon that Norman does NOT like being cold, so this would almost always be going, even if only a little.
Another view of the fireplace, from along the opposite wall - you can see his armchair in the right-hand side of the shot. To the left of the fireplace hangs a portrait of Norman's ex-wife, Catherine.
The South wall with the furniture arranged Norman's way. Press F to pay respects.
A little more detail of the Southern end of the space. Know any good post-villain blackout remedies?
A more complete view of the South wall after Harry rearranges things.
The balcony is only ever shown when Doc Ock threatens Harry, but it's clear that it was set up for entertaining.
Another balcony angle. In the PS4 game (and IRL!) it is clear that the Empire State Building can be seen from the balcony. The river is also visible to the East.
The Southwestern corner is where Norman keeps his favorite armchair, facing the fire. Beneath the painting on the wall is the table where he keeps his decanters and drinking glasses.
The Western wall is dominated by the bulk of Norman's mask collection and the pierglass mirror where he has his first conscious encounter with the Green Goblin.
Another view of the Western wall and its bureaus and cabinets.
In the second movie, Harry discovers Norman's secret lab behind the mirror. Clearly it would have had a secret catch that made the mirror swing out like a door, but Harry Osborn is why we can't have nice lairs.
The Goblin really only cared about the basics: plenty of ammo, a rack of Goblin Serum cylinders off to the left of these shelves ...
... and a worktable to repair the glider. A lot of people speculated he was working on a second one so that Harry could join him ... this mun included.


And that's our tour of Norman's virtual Cube space! Thanks for dropping in. If you had some of the Maker's Mark, make sure you've got a designated driver. ;)
