Joe.'s BB13 Project---> GARDEN/LIVING ROOM/DIARY ROOM- **FINISHED**

[Joe.]

Hey- here's my new project, have only done the eye and one room so far but yeah- just sharing it with you all-

Sorry for the bad quality eye, but I'm quite happy with it, it resembles the inside of a bee hive in a way that goes with some of the themes in the house!

:amazed: how effective. I absolutely love the honeycomb effect. Very vibrant too.

why thankyou! I'm not too sure on it, it fits with some themes in the house though and I am thinking of an interesting twist to do with it :hugesmile:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Very stylish and makes me hungry too lol.

[Joe.]

[Sawyer]

It looks like someone threw up over a camera and a packet of drinking straws.

Finally updating

Done most rooms- Kitchen/Dining room
- Garden
+ Diary Room

[Bedroom to do]

I think the diary room is amazing- nicknamed 'The Hive' this year!- so proud of it and the garden is massive!

So here's the entrance-got a bamboo feel to it but lit up by the vibrant flooring, we can see a hinting of honeycombing effect on the door into the house- sorry if the second pic looks scruffy- attempted to blur the door into the house so you don't see anythign quite yet :P

The enterance is okay:)

Entrance pt 2 and Bedroom Door

So here's another entrance picture with that blurry bit 'unblurred'- the entrance leads into the kitchen/dining area!

Now we're gradually going to venture into the house- so here's your first picture of what the entrance looks like from in the house-

Now here's the bedroom door viewed from the entrance- as you can see we're keeping with the 'beehive' feel to the house-

Tomorrow i'll upload some more pictures as we venture into the kitchen!

[Ryan.]

I actually don't mind this Joe! It's a bit much but I like the overall theme :)

[Jamie.]

Not keen :/

[Joe.]

Venturing into the Dining room/Kitchen

So as things go you can really start to see a theme coming along here in terms of shapes- that's the kitchen counter to the left-

http://oi47.tinypic.com/2qvql5h.jpg

Now you can see more of the kitchen counter, the crazy floor design and the dining room table that is round!-

http://oi45.tinypic.com/2w6xmps.jpg

This picture shows the full kitchen in all it's flory- I love the semi-cirlcleness of it and the design on the surface is those hexagons again-

http://oi50.tinypic.com/35i2fx3.jpg

Here's the other side of the kitchen where we can see the store cupboard and a breakfast bar for the housemates aswell as the fridge and some cupboards!-

http://oi48.tinypic.com/2dshedc.jpg

The other side of the room is a very different story, we can see the round dinign table in all it's glory that seats 12-

http://oi50.tinypic.com/md2jpg.jpg

The backdrop to the dining table very much keep's with this year's theme- a giant bee!-

http://oi47.tinypic.com/yos1z.jpg

Finally here's the view from the bedroom door- and a peak outside-

Next time- The Garden/Living room

[Jarrod]

I don't like it. Sorry.

[Joe.]

I don't like it. Sorry.

What don't you like about it?

[Jarrod]

What don't you like about it?

I don't like the overall wooden texture... It looks tacky.

But i'm not knocking the actual construction. Your improving on your last projects. It just looks a bit.... too much?

[Glenn.]

It's terrible sorry.

The overuse of the wood is, like Jarrod says 'tacky'.

Vast improvement on your previous project I guess.

[Iceman]

I cant stand it, plus it looks like someone **** a rainbow all over the place.

[joe199998293]

Its Awful!

The Garden + Living Room

Been AGES since I've updated this, haven't done a bedroom so I'll put up the remainder of the project today-

First up- the garden!-

here's the entrance from the kitchen/dining area to the garden-

http://oi47.tinypic.com/33avvyo.jpg

beside the entrance to the garden is the diary room door or 'the hive' as it's known this series!-

http://oi46.tinypic.com/2mg0b2a.jpg

the jacuzzi sit's above the massive swimming pool-

http://oi47.tinypic.com/52xgfo.jpg

this next picture shows the full length of the pool-

http://oi49.tinypic.com/dllqpd.jpg

there's some beach balls and deck chairs set out for the long summer ahead-

http://oi46.tinypic.com/xlj75t.jpg

a bbq and outside cooking area will be available to the housemates-

http://oi50.tinypic.com/2i87rx4.jpg

a closer up look can see tables for the housemates outside-

http://oi50.tinypic.com/kd6dk5.jpg

beside the bbq area there's a giant plasma screen where Brian can talk directly to the house and Big Brother can play out nominations to the housemates at their discretion-

http://oi48.tinypic.com/21ouiw.jpg

on the other side of the garden doors are some swings-

http://oi47.tinypic.com/2rr16xl.jpg

next to the swings is a 'home' area where there's a bookshelf, a lamp and a secret door leading to a secret camera run around the living room, housemates may be granted access to this at different points in the series-

http://oi46.tinypic.com/t8t65v.jpg

this year the seating area is outside, well- it has a roof but is basically outside, this means during evictions housemates will be able to hear the crowd's reaction [re-Grace BB7] the sofa is designed to blend into the grass but the goregeous honeycomb effect continues around the sofa's-

THE DIARY ROOM

Continuing on with the bee hive theme the diary room really is something special this year- in fact this year's diary room has been nicknamed 'The Hive'...

http://oi47.tinypic.com/33kpxl2.jpg
http://oi45.tinypic.com/2w6hwfs.jpg
http://oi49.tinypic.com/2hofnug.jpg

Yes- housemates will be sitting on a gigantic bee in this year's diary room!

Hope you've all enjoyed this project- went with a theme and made it really different to other houses you'll see on this forum!

[Conor]

I don't get the criticism towards this house. It's different, which is almost always good in some way. I think the main problem is that it is hard to translate these kind of designs through sketchup, but when I imagine what this house would look like in real life, I think it would be nice :) I really like the kitchen area, but is there no bedroom or bathroom?

[Joe.]

Thanks Conor, yeah I was planning to do a bathroom and bedroom but decided against it- I mean i'm happy with what i've done on this project.

I am really pleased with it, yeah I think I have kinda overused the wood effect but think in real life it'd look so much better!

Hope you like the overall theme with it, I really wanted to do something which nobody had seen before and aside from other houses having an overall theme throughout!

[Conor]

I really like the wood theme :) There's alot of it in the real BB house this year and it's one of my favs. Also was interesting to see someone carry a them the whole way through the project.

Thanks again, yeah, I wasn't too sure about the wood theme but yeah it looks more realistic than wallpaper I suppose, I'm really happy with this project though and I'm really happy with the overall theme- glad you like it!

[Jarrod]

I like the unique style you've tried out.
