Why does every building in NK seem to be designed as a liminal space? Something about the colors and lighting, and lack of windows maybe? Even with a room full of people it gives me that weird feeling.

These are very likely facilities that have been specifically build or renovated to accomodate a carefully curated event for their "dear leader".

As Kim Jong Un is styled by propaganda as a god-like entity, everything surrounding him needs to be pristine, everyone is ecstatic and overjoyed (or at least acts like it), and the North Korean designers still seem to be heavily influenced by 1950s styles from the USA.

Results are as depicted in the footage.
