Confirms though that the bedroom is where it was for BB14/CBB12/CBB13 and the bathroom is back in the safe house area.

[Samm]

I like the bedroom but they need to change the layout for the living area space next year it's getting too tired

[Kai Anders]

Love these shots! Don't they usually change it every 2 years or so (the layout) I'm sure they'll do it for BB16!

[andybigbro]

Looks great! :love:

[Cal.]

Love the shots:)

[Denver]

Its beautiful i want to live there :hehe:

[Jarrod]

I'll post if anymore appear.

The old store room looks really done up, I wonder if that's the new diary room? It looks too done up to be the store room, surely? :think:

That is a very good point, are you talking about that mirror? Maybe the Housemates have to open the mirror to get to the Diary Room :amazed:

In saying that though, I doubt they've moved it from upstairs.

It's probably the "control room" done up like some type of witch's lair.

Yeah, it's defiantly still a room that the housemates can access because of the eye above the door

I hope its something new and unique.

it's got the light up eye on top, it most likely is! :amazed:

[Cal.]

Yeah, it definitely looks like the diary room is back downstairs.

[Marsh.]

Pauline's still in there arguing with Iris.

[Jarrod]

I'll see if I can find out, but it would be more likely to be a secret room/new room than the Diary Room.

[Loukas]

i would love something like that! As long as it's new tbh :laugh:

[Jarrod]

It looks like the eye light is a reflection and there's a door opposite? Or is that just me?

[Will.]

If the diary room is down the stairs, what has the old diary room become? Maybe the store room but I doubt it would be the upstairs

[Jarrod]

I doubt it would be used for anything, just covered up and it'll stay there until the new series... or it'll become a secret room knowing C5.

[Jay.]

I love it :love:

[Lostie!]

Brilliant pictures, thanks for posting!

I really love this house. One of my favourite things is the forest on some of the walls. As I said in the house pics thread, it really reminds me of the forest in the Once Upon a Time title cards. :D

:joker::joker:

But seriously, I'm liking the new shots and the prospect of the Diary Room being back downstairs!

[Loukas]

Looking at the little details put into the bedroom and main living space has made me fall in love with this house! The bedroom reminds me of a foreign bedroom, it's fabulous! The quirky twisted bedside lamps, the wallpaper/'brickwork' walls & the glowing trees :love:

Love it, and omg if the diary room is downstairs again :love:

[Will.]

I don't know about anyone else but I really prefer the diary room down the stairs.

It will in the summer every two years seems to be the rule on c5

Same it moved upstairs from bb14 onwards

[Will.]

Wasn't BB 13 given a layout change and It had only been on channel 5 for a year, and then BB 14 was given a layout change a year later. So them not doing a layout change this year makes it the first for channel 5?

[Will.]

Yeah, when its down the stairs housemates seem to use it more and hang around near it.

No bb14 the house was completely gutted bb12 and bb13 the layout didn't change think of bbusa through they have had the same house layout since 2006 we are lucky really

Oh ok, I only started watching in 2012 and 2011 house pictures looked different to BB 13. So did rooms just move around in the same shape of the building and nothing actually changed.

Rooms just moved around a bit the garden hardly change I would expect a layout change in the summer

Yeah, they should build 2 floors as Emma suggested a few days ago. I don't like the curved layout in the main room.

I hate it makes it look so cheap

[Will.]

I hate it makes it look so cheap

It's not impressive and it's too small, need something that's a lot bigger and looks more impressive.

What you're both discussing is completely unrealistic. The structure at Elstree won't allow an entire second floor due to the roof and the way it slants. The only way you'd get a second floor is if they completely demolished the current building and then rebuilt it with a higher roof and new solid structure.

A programme like Big Brother costs a ton to produce, and the layout of the House is something we unfortunately have to put up with for 1/2 years. It's not really the end of the world. We can't have anything bigger because aside from the main rooms that the Housemates live in the House has to include camera runs, task access and room for a small amount of the crew. The plans for the BB14 house showed that the majority of the floor space had been used for the layout that we still have. Really there's not much else they can do.

I'm not asking for a second floor just a change in layout

Channel 5 will change the layout when they feel the need. The only reason it feels like we've had this layout for longer is because of the extra CBB when in reality we've had it for the same amount of time as some C4 layouts. The only reason C4's layouts seemed different was because they added one/removed one wall from a room which made it smaller.

Agree I really wished they would cut back to one cbb a year

[Will.]

2 CBB is awful, makes CBB 12 feel like 3 years ago. And that makes the layout feel old because it has been in 6 seasons including CBB 15, were as if there was 1 CBB a year it would have been in 4.

[Marsh.]

Are they using all of the space though?

Why did the BB3/4 houses appear so much larger? Can they not go back to that size.

That was because they didn't have such a restrictive structure at the back of the house. When it was rebuilt for BB9 it became very restrictive.. plus before BB9 none of the houses had a small or large task room. Here's the layout from BB14:

Why can't they take the restrictive structure down again?

I'd happily let them do away with the pointless task rooms tbh.

They can if they submit the right planning permission to the council etc. They have to submit planning to the council every time they want to make a minor adjustment. You can look at the proposals and submitted documents on the Herts council website.

The task rooms are useful but I think we could easily do without them. They'd give a big space to work with.

[Jamesy]

They should really ditch the taskrooms and create a bigger house with more rooms.

It's just as easy to close off a part of the house to set up for a task really. They coped just fine for 11 series on C4, just as easy to do the same now.

[Sam:)]

Really unimpressed with the lounge. It just looks like they used the left over mirror frames from 2013 and put a random wallpaper which contrasts with the light walls.

Bedroom looks amazing but have a feeling it will not look good on screen, I hope im wrong.

I agree. I can't even remember when the big task room was used this year?:conf:

The small one was used for the call centre task in CBB14, the mortuary in BB15 and the barnyard task in BB15 - but can't recall the large one ever being used? They should just use the garden more effectively for tasks, I preferred it when it was that way anyway. When they go to the task rooms for tasks, it seems less natural for me (although that may be because they've clearly been with production crew to get specially designed make-up/costumes for the tasks which kind of rules out the no outside contact rule, no doubt 'How are they finding me on the outside?' comes up).

[Jack.]

I like this house but Its not my favourite one

They've had the task room since Big Brother 9, so they used it on C4 too.

Don't mean to sound stupid, but what's the restrictive structure?
Is it those white buildings around the garden from BB9 present?

The house is okay, not the best. The BB15 house is my favorite house from the C5 Era. Wasn't too keen on the garden though.

The BB12 and BB13 houses were tacky, and not memorable, IMO.
BB14 was nice, but they could've been more creative with the house to correlate with the theme. For example, those doors near the staircase and the suitcases in the bedroom, that Emma mentioned during the house tour.

One thing I don't like about the bedrooms is the sofas. I wish they would just ditch the sofas and seats, and have the bedroom with just beds, like C4.

Hope they change the layout for BB16.
You can pretty much identify where the BB14 living area was from the BB15 house.

The restrictive structure is the back end of the house. The white roof on this picture.

Lucky guess.
No wonder why the gardens of BB9-Present have been smaller.

Whilst were on the subject. The exterior of the house looks like a pig sty. Mainly from the scaffolding and stairs for the stands.
Interesting though, as I'm guessing that's how the crowd get to the stands.
Amazing what a few lights can do.
