Matt's BB2013 House Project (Celebrity version - bathroom)

[Matt]

So I haven't posted anything in the fan-made designs forum in ages and ages... but recently after coming across some old bits and bobs I hadn't finished, out of boredom I decided to turn them in to a full house!

It's not quite done yet - I'm posting the thread early to give me an incentive to finish it - but in the meantime here's some close-up teasers:

So, time to begin posting pics - it's not a complete project (I haven't done sets, a series plan etc) but I will write a little about how Big Brother would use the house.

The house has the vibe of a plush modern hotel overlooking a colourful, sunny beach. But the housemates will soon learn this is no summer holiday as they will not be able to enjoy everything it has to offer unless they work hard and stick to Big Brother's rules.

Without further ado, here's the...


Kitchen

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/kitchen_4.jpg

Although the house is the biggest ever, with more rooms than ever before (;)), some parts of it are ultra compact - including the bright green kitchen.

Too many cooks will definitely spoil the broth here, as the glossy counters are so close to each other that only one side can be used comfortably at a time - but the seven-seater breakfast bar will give the housemates the perfect place to stick their beaks in to any cooking-related arguments.

dat colour scheme :amazed:

[neneu10]

wow

[Raph]

That green color is dope! :D

[Matt]

dat colour scheme :amazed:

That green color is dope! :D

Thanks :amazed: I wasn't that sure about it at first

[Me. I Am Salman]

I like it. Do you have an eye?

[Marcus.]

very lush

[Jarrod]

I like how Big Brother like it looks! It's great Matt.

[Matt]

Thanks all!

Do you have an eye?

Nah, I couldn't come up with an idea I like, it's harder now with the official logos being 3D

[Glenn.]

I like it :amazed:

[Matt]

Lounge

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/lounge_1.jpg

More pics:

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/lounge_3.jpg

Again, the lounge area is small, with the red leather sofas only just large enough to accommodate the fourteen housemates. It is sunken below ground level BB Canada-style, with the angled black walls jutting in and out.

[Jarrod]

I like this. :worship:

[Brekkie]

Love the lounge - and didn't realise I disliked green so much until I saw your kitchen. :)

Do like the kitchen being raised and the lounge being sunken though - it's touches like that which really make an open plan space work IMO.

[Patrick]

This is actually really good man, wasn't keen on the kitchen at first - until I looked at it longer, the lounge is beautiful.

[Conor]

I picked a good night to have a look on fan designs! :D Nice to have you posting your sketch up stuff again Matt.

[Shaun]

the sofas :love:

[Matt]

I picked a good night to have a look on fan designs

High praise indeed - ta!

Love the lounge - and didn't realise I disliked green so much until I saw your kitchen. :)

I'll take that as a compliment ;)

[Matt]

Dining

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/dining_2.jpg

Not much to shout about here - just a glass dining table with modern chairs, coloured in green to match the kitchen.

[Brekkie]

Although it's obviously on a platform which can sink into the ground at any moment!

[Glenn.]

I love it Matt :love:

I think the green is amazing.

[Matt]

Thanks!

Bedroom

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/bedroom_3.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/bedroom_6.jpg

The bedroom is hot pink, with the wall connecting to the bathroom resembling a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a bright orange sunset.

There are seven single beds, two doubles and a triple - but anyone desperate to sleep solo will get a nasty surprise when they discover that the singles are incredibly uncomfortable, with mattresses less than half the thickness of the multis.

There is a small dressing area with two hairdryers and one set of hair straighteners - but as you'll see later, the housemates won't be able to use these as they please...

[Conor]

Good stuff, this is my fav room in the house so far.

[Glenn.]

I love that :love:

Brilliant work Matt!

[GypsyGoth]

Perfection :worship:

Brilliant choice of colours.

[Matt]

[Brekkie]

I've always said BB started going down hill when bloody hair straighteners became a basic essential in the house.

Bathroom

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/bathroom_1.jpg

More pics:

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/bathroom_5.jpg

In stark contrast to the bedroom, the bathroom is decorated in dark wood and slate grey, with aqua furnishings providing a splash of colour.

Housemates will have to get up close and personal when washing, as Big Brother will severely limit shower times - meaning the group will have to shower three at a time at the triple headed shower column.

Not only will housemates be forced to shower back to back, but they will also be exposed to the rest of the house, as bathroom is one of the least private in Big Brother history - visible from as far away as the bottom of the garden.

[Loukas]

amazing, the contrast really works

[Marsh.]

I love that bathroom. Wish it was the real one in the house.

[Matt]

I love that bathroom. Wish it was the real one in the house.

Thanks - by the looks of the "bathroom" in this year's real house I think the housemates would too :laugh:

[Me. I Am Salman]

The bathroom is perfect

[MusicMan]

Really love the colours in this house, and the design is brilliant!

[Raph]

That's epic, I love the circular shower concept. Great stuff as usual, Matt!

Lobby

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/hall_1.jpg

More pics:

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/hall_4.jpg

Every hotel has a lobby, and it's no different in Big Brother's plush pad. Housemates will enter and exit via the massive staircase, with each step lighting up as they walk on them, Billie Jean-style.

When they reach the ground they'll find the Walk Of Shame, which will be covered in the housemates' pictures once they've entered. Each housemate's square will go red as they pass it upon their eviction.

At the end of the Walk they'll find two doors. The frames around them light up to indicate their status - red for unavailable, and blue for available.

When they're unlocked, they'll go green and they can go through the doors in to the dark halls, which will be lit with green chevrons, like this:

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/hall.gif

The hall to the right obviously leads to the Diary Room - but where does the other one go?

Before Monday I never thought Channel 5 would do anything different with the entrance :laugh:

[Matt]

Well, the left hall leads to the brand new...

Nominations Room

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/nomsroom_1.jpg

More pics:

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/nomsroom_2.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/nomsroom_3.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/nomsroom_4.jpg

Obviously I've shamelessly nicked this from Big Brother Australia, but if I were executive producer, this is how I'd work it:

Every Monday, a live show takes place on Channel 5 in which housemates will be called to the Nominations Room to make their nominations for the week. They will have five points to split between their two nominees, and the three nominees with the most points face eviction.

One by one, when instructed, housemates will step forward and enter the soundproof booth to nominate. Unlike the BBAU chamber, it is not see-through - the rest of the housemates will instead be looking at themselves in the giant mirror.

When in the booth, housemates will have a limited time to make each nomination. They must clearly state whom they are nominating, how many points for, and their reason for that nomination. Big Brother will not accept paltry reasons, e.g. 'they're missing their family', 'they don't want to be here any more'.

Once a nomination is accepted, the chair of the housemate that was nominated will light up in red. They'll be able to see this in the mirror - and because it's see-through on the other side, the camera will be able to catch their reaction while remaining focused on the nominator.

However, each time housemates fail to satisfy Big Brother with their nominations, they will receive a penalty nomination point themselves.

Once all the nominations are complete, Big Brother will confirm who faces eviction and light up their chairs. Housemates will then be allowed to remain in the nominations room for up to half an hour - covered with live feed on 5* - where they will be allowed to discuss what happened during that night's nominations. They won't be allowed to discuss or influence future nominations.

If housemates wish to leave the nominations room before Big Brother kicks them out, they can - but once they're out the door they cannot discuss nominations at all.

[MB.]

Lovely.

[Conor]

Thats actually a great idea. Would be a brilliant way to guarantee some drama and tension within the house.

[Raph]

What a sick idea, I never knew they did that in BB Australia. Also very cool entrance, still loving the whole green colored theme.

[Matt]

Now we've seen the main house, it's time to head out to the...

Garden

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/garden_1.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/garden_5.jpg

The plush hotel-like house overlooks a colourful yet calm beach-themed garden, which is adorned with shots of waves and lined with huge palm trees.

Housemates can make a splash in the pool or relax on the plastic loungers, which are situated in front of an angled wall resembling a massive beach umbrella.

Of course, it wouldn't be a beach without some sand, so there's a big sandpit for mucking around in. The group can entertain themselves with the inflatable balls and the bucket and spade - and if they dig deep enough, they may just find that Big Brother has buried some treasure...

[HD]

very original, i like it

[Matt]

This year Big Brother is getting tough on the housemates with two clear systems of punishment.

For serious rule breaks, such as unacceptable behaviour or talking about nominations, they'll be given a strike. Three strikes and they're out.

But for less serious rule breaks, such as not wearing microphones or tampering with furniture, Big Brother will sentence them to time in the brand new...

Prison

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/prison_1.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/prison_9.jpg

Yes, the prison is back. It's hard, it's harsh, and unlike jails in previous series, it's entirely self contained, with a toilet, shower, and smoking bench should Big Brother feel generous enough to give the inmates cigarettes. Make no mistake, they will not be let out every few hours for a breather.

Inmates will live in the cell, sleeping in hard camp beds with stick-thin mattresses and scratchy sheets. They will be served portions of slop to eat three times a day, and they will have access to unlimited drinking water at the water fountain next to the toilet. Outside in the yard they'll find the freezing cold shower, and a single gym mat for them to exercise on.

While living in the prison, inmates must wear standard issue orange jumpsuits at all times except when showering or sleeping. If they must enter the house for a non-emergency reason - such as nominations or evictions - they may only do so while wearing shackles. If an housemate faces eviction while in prison, they will leave the house in their jumpsuit - Big Brother will nominate another housemate to pack their bags for them.

Housemates are strictly forbidden from passing inmates food or other supplies through the bars in the yard. Failure to comply will result in all food being removed from the house and replaced with slop.

During shopping tasks, inmates will be set their own individual challenges relating to that task. For instance, in the most recent Celebrity series, they could have been asked to write 'Pass' and 'Fail' on 1,000 balls for the odds task, or create 200 posters for the Dictator task. Inmates must complete these challenges, or they will automatically fail the shopping task for the whole house. Other menial tasks may be set from time to time.

Inmates can be released from prison in either of the following ways:

Completion of their sentence
Parole - Big Brother may release inmates from the prison early if they demonstrate good behaviour, e.g. completing tasks efficiently, refusing to accept supplies from the main house.
Bail - If the housemates are feeling generous, they can buy bail for an inmate from their weekly shopping budget. However, it won't come cheap, as bail costs 20% of the budget per inmate - e.g. if the shopping budget is £500, bail is set at £100.

[Brekkie]

The shackles might be going a bit far but love them doing menial tasks as part of the main task - that works really well. Also like the idea of bail.

[neneu10]

Matt you are architect?

[Conor]

One of the most detailed and unique tibb projects in a looong time Matt. Love the theme in the garden and it would be nice to see a series actually make proper use of the jail.

[Brekkie]

The best use of a "jail" I've seen in any BB series was BB7 Germany when after repeated rule breaks BB installed a metal cage in the living area which three of the rule breakers had to live in for a good few days I think. They were only let out I think to use the bathroom or diary room and I think just bringing it into the house for a few days as a short sharp shock rather than having it in the corner of the garden largely unused was much more effective.

[Joe.]

Right here goes, my review-

Dislike the kitchen, just don't like the colours or set up of it- boring and basic.

The lounge needs to be more vibrant in colours etc, but I do like the levels- it's nice it's down a bit, setting it apart from the rest of the house!

The dining room is pretty much the same as the kitchen and I must be honest if we got that as a house I'd be so underwhelmed!

The bedroom however is very nice, warmer colours and looks grander. It is however very samey to what we've had on C5 for the last two series.

The bathroom is by far the best room in the house so far- a true work of art I love the design of it all, even having urinals- brilliant- adore this room- the storage facilities are great too!

Love the lobby design also- that gif is great, really shows what sort of direction you were going for with it! Amazing that one goes to the diary room and the other unknown which I find extremely intriguing. I like the wall texture of the entrance but yeah still very samey to C5 stuff and I now hate open plan staircases!

Meh- the nominations room is cool, but at the start of BBAUS 9 I was like WOW this is a great idea, but it didn't really work, like it never made anything awkward or anything it just felt weird. Dislike it but do like the design with the chair layout you've gone for.

You know what I said about the bathroom being my favourite room? Well I lied- the garden is impeccable! Love the theme to it, shame you haven't lead a theme throughout the whole house of the beach theme. The sand area and beach-houses are awesome!

Here comes the prison- best idea yet. Love it. I'd love to see this actually be done in Big Brother, I mean a Prison was done in BB9 and 10 but not very well, BB7's was amazing but in a separate room- your open plan one looks visually stunning and would provide some amazing tv moments.

Overall- 6.5/10
Highlights- The Garden/Prison/Bathroom
Low-points- Kitchen/Dining Area/Bedroom
Summary- Some fantastic ideas really coming through here especially in the garden, would be better if the theme span throughout the whole house, let down by the boring kitchen and dining area. Personal highlight being the prison! Well done!

[Matt]

Love the lobby design also- that gif is great, really shows what sort of direction you were going for with it! Amazing that one goes to the diary room and the other unknown which I find extremely intriguing. I like the wall texture of the entrance but yeah still very samey to C5 stuff and I now hate open plan staircases!

Thanks for the extensive review :P

Picking up on these points - I'll admit to rushing the lobby, so I'm surprised/pleased you like it. And I'm a huge fan of the AU nominations room - it made nominations feel like event television - but agree that it could have been a bit more awkward, so I thought housemates finding out who nommed who and being able to discuss it afterwards would ramp up the drama a bit.

[Matt]

The housemates may have a pool and sandpit to play with, but there's even more luxury on offer if they're willing to work for it.

Every weekend, they'll be woken up early for a strenuous 24-hour luxury task that will start at Saturday at 8am and finish on Sunday at 8am.

If they pass this task, they'll win access to the luxury areas of the house for the next week. This includes the dressing area in the bedroom - luxury tasks must be won for the hairdryers and straighteners to be turned on - as well as three areas in the garden, starting with the...

Bar

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/bar_1.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/bar_4.jpg

This year, winning the luxury tasks will be the housemates' only way of guaranteeing themselves a supply of booze for the week, as it will not be available on the shopping list.

The bar contains two fridges full of drink - which will be restocked at Big Brother's discretion - as well as barbecue meats which the housemates can cook on the fully-featured BBQ outside.

In addition, for the first time, there's also a touchscreen jukebox which housemates can use to play the music of their choice whenever Big Brother switches it on.

[HD]

I like this abit too much that I'm disappointed with the BB14 house :p

[Brekkie]

Ooh, like the bar. Not so sure about the 8am wake ups though - yes it's annoying for HMs and forces them to work for their luxuries, but viewers want the HMs to stay up late at the weekends especially, so a noon to noon challenge might be best.

[Joe.]

Amazing, love this- the design of the roof to it is awesome and so is the entrance doors to it- good work! And there's more rooms- you sure!? Lots of twists- brilliant!

[Matt]

Finally, it's the...

Gym and Spa

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/gym1.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/gym5.jpg

Winning the weekly luxury tasks will also give housemates access to the serene, sand-coloured gym and spa room.

On the right is the gym, where they can work up a sweat with the treadmill, exercise bikes, cross trainer, rowing machine, rack of weights and exercise mats. It even comes complete with a drinking fountain where they can top up their water bottles.

When they're done working out they can head to the spa side on the left and relax in the bubbly jacuzzi tub, or enjoy a steam in the sauna.

That's it for now - I'll probably get round to doing a celebrity version at some point :)

[neneu10]

Everything in this house is Amazing

[Brekkie]

Good stuff Matt - great to see a finished project from you. You've also made the house feel big, and the garden especially, when it's clearly actually basically the same footprint as most recent houses.

It does seem fairly celeb proof already. The pool could be enclosed for winter I guess, but not absolutely necessary. I think it would be a case of perhaps repurposing the prison for some other twist and probably a bit of a paint job in the main house - be interesting to see how the kitchen and lounge looked with a different colour scheme.

[Matt]

So, as previously stated I've been working on some tweaks for what would be a Celebrity version of this house. As before, the house is loosely based on a plush hotel - but to match the winter setting of the series the beach theme has been switched for a city theme.

First up it's the...


Bathroom

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/791584/bb14_project/cbb/bathroom_4.jpg

As we're all aware, celebrities like privacy in the bathroom - but this year, Big Brother isn't going to give them it for free. After all, I'm A Celebrity contestants have to shower in the open - so why shouldn't they do so on Big Brother?

Therefore, this year's Celebrity bathroom comes with a fiendish twist. The housemates can still choose to wash theirselves away from prying eyes if they want - as long as they can put up with icy cold water. However, there's also a steaming hot shower available, if they're happy with showing off their bits to the viewers at home. Of course, they'll also be bearing all to the housemates, as the hot shower is just as open as the old civilian shower - visible from as far away as the garden.

To separate the new showers, the bathroom is now dominated by a glass brick wall - coloured in a blue to orange gradient to represent their temperatures.

[Samm]

The bathroom is amazing
