My BB8 floorplan / Week by Week plan
 

Here is my floorplan for BB8 to go with my eye. Explanation below.

This house features more glass walls than ever before, meaning there is absolutely nowhere to hide, and there are no Nowhere or Love Loft-type hidey holes. All blue lines represent glass walls.

The kitchen and dining area have been moved from the main part of the house to have their own room, accessible from the garden. There is also a barbecue and patio area.

The pool has been brought indoors for the first time in a main series, and there is a gym and sauna to go with it. These three rooms are collectively known as "the leisure area". However, the housemates cannot use these three rooms as they please. A weekly task, broadcast in a live show each Saturday would determine if housemates can use the rooms or not. If they pass, they win access until the following Saturday. If they fail, they win nothing. Tasks may involve housemates working together to win the prize, or they could be split into groups and played against each other, with the winning group gaining access.

The Diary Room is also accessed, for the first time, from the outside. There is also secondary access to the Diary Room from the pool, however housemates will not be told this and will have to figure out it's there for themselves.

There is only one store room this series as access to the kitchen is in the garden.

The bathroom contains a shower, a bath, a toilet and a urinal. In addition there are two other toilets, one accessible from the living room, and one accessible from the dining area. There is a further toilet next to the pool, but that is accessible from the pool only.

There is a door from the living room into the bedroom, and a door from the bedroom into the garden. There are no other doors into the bedroom, however there is a further door into the living room from the living area.

And that's about it. What do you think?

I love your floorplan (as I said to you earlier)

The pool/sauna/gym task is brilliant, and I love how the garden is almost the hub of everything (in BB7 it felt as if the end of the garden was a dead place)

I have obtained Rory's permission to post a week by week plan here, and Week 1 should be up today.

I've decided that my BB will launch on a Friday, will be 13 weeks long, and will involve 15 housemates on launch. Week 1 synopsis to follow.

What do you think of the house plan?

Awesome house plan...isn't a urinal a bit unfair on female housemates?

There was two other toilets located elsewhere but I've changed my mind a bit.

I love the outside dining room and kitchen !
And the layout is really great but I think they will not put a sauna and an inside pool !
But if i have to choice one house, I think I will choose this one !
Well done dude !:hello:

Thanks! Should I put my Week 1 synopsis up now?

OK, here it is:

Week 1
Big Brother launches on a Friday night, with 15 housemates entering the house.

One housemate is called to the Diary Room at the end of the launch show. This housemate is told that on Monday, something will happen in which the housemates will lose a lot of supplies. That person is then given a secret mission to keep back some supplies from their basic (£1 per head per day) shopping budget from the first two days to help their forthcoming loss. They are told that they are forbidden from disclosing any of the information discussed in the Diary Room with other housemates, and if they do, or a housemate rumbles them, then they are automatically up for eviction.

The next day, the housemates gather in the living room at Big Brother’s command and are shocked when, once gathered, he tells them they must make nominations based on their first impressions of each other. They are then called one by one to The Diary Room to make their nominations. They are told to only nominate one person each, and that they have only 30 seconds to state their reasons.

Later on that night, the first live Leisure Area Access Task airs. Davina, having presented 45 minutes of Big Brother highlights, cuts to the house.

The house is then played clips of the nominations the housemates made earlier on. When the clips have finished airing, Big Brother announces the two or more housemates up for eviction, and then calls these housemates to the Diary Room. Whilst this is being shown on the living room plasma screen, Big Brother tells the housemates in the Diary Room that the nominations were a hoax, and that the housemates that were nominated for eviction were actually nominated for exclusive use of the leisure area. The live show ends.

On the Monday, the housemates are woken with jungle-style music. The housemates are called to the kitchen, where they are told a continental breakfast had been prepared for them. They are told that they have 1 minute to get there before the food is gone. Naturally, they all rush off there. When they get to the kitchen, the blinds go down, and the house is decorated for the task.

The first weekly shopping task is named ‘Survival’. For the duration of this task, the housemates will have to find everything they need to survive hidden around the house. The beds have been removed from the bedroom, and so have all the housemates’ clothes, which means they will have to survive in what they woke up in. Tents and sleeping bags have been hidden in the house for sleeping in. The sofas in the living room have been replaced with logs, and the pool has been turned into a swamp. The house has been densely covered in bushes and trees. The Diary Room is out of bounds for the duration of the task, unless called there by Big Brother, as well as the sauna, gym, and the bathroom. The swamp is available to all housemates for this task.

The blinds go up in the kitchen, the housemates are called to the living room and are explained the task (whilst the kitchen and dining area undergoes a jungle themed makeover).

Once the kitchen has been made over, the housemate set the secret mission on launch night is called to the Diary Room, and is told that the mission is over and they are free to discuss it at their will. The other housemates remain in the living room.

Then the housemates awarded pool access on the previous Saturday are called to the Diary Room and appear on the living room plasma screen. They are told that as they won Saturday’s ‘task’, they are being awarded a stay in Big Brother’s Holiday Home, located off the Diary Room in a house-next-door style. They are immune from the task and all the task rules (e.g. they can use the Diary Room as they please). They are then told to leave the Diary Room through a secret door, and do not reappear until the task is over.

For the duration of the task, housemates must find all they need to survive hidden around the house in secret areas. Sometimes Big Brother will give clues, sometimes he won’t. Two food packages and one ‘Bonus’ package are hid in the house every day. On day one, the bonus package will be sleeping bags/tents, on day two, it will be a secret shower, and on day three, it will be an extra special food package.

When the task concludes on the Wednesday, all the housemates (except those in Big Brother’s Holiday Home) are called to the living room, and are told if they have passed or failed. Every package the housemates don’t manage to find is counted as a fail. Housemates are permitted three fails. The inhabitants of Big Brother’s Holiday Home watch on a plasma screen. In the event of a pass, all housemates are awarded a jungle themed party. There is also the usual shopping budget prize. The ‘holidaymakers’ rejoin the house and regain exclusive swimming pool access.

Nominations take place as usual on Tuesday, from both the jungle and the holiday home, and an eviction takes place as usual on Friday.

There, I think it's lame, but what do you think?

Great, I luv the "jungle survival" task ! Well done ! :laugh2:

Sounds good, but the holidaymakers are just going to get nominated for eviction, right? If they were nominated originally, and then sent to the holiday home, they haven't had a chance to change peoples opinions of them...

The 'holidaymakers' are the housemates which were nominated for the exclusive pool use. Big Brother tricks the housemates into thinking the Saturday nominations were for an eviction, but they were actually nominating who got exclusive pool use.

No one was nominated for eviction before Tuesday, Week 1.

That's a great floorplan, well done.

No, I get that. What I meant was, if they were nominated the first time (nominated as in, the other housemates nominated them thinking it was for eviction), then they're sent off to the holiday home, when nominations ACTUALLY happen, they'll just get the most nominations again most likely as they haven't had much of a chance to change the other housemates opinions about them. Or is that the point, that they have to try and stop themselves from being nominated in a way?

Yeah, the point of that was to cause a stir things up a little, so you're right. But remember that they still have to nominate too.

Here is a slightly modified version of my floorplan, showing the 'Holiday Home' (in the red outlines):

Thats a great bb floorplan

:D Thanks!

So will the 'holiday home' be used again later on? (:

There may be one or two secret rooms, but i'm not having anything like the HND.

Looks brilliant, the Holiday Home could be used for other things too, later on in the game. Though there is a little hitch in your plan. The stairs are at the top of the BB House and the Garden's at the bottom, not next to each other like in your floorplan. But otherwise, excellent! I especially like the idea of the DR being in the Garden, since it's seemingly the only thing that hasn't been in the Garden of the BB House (BB5 - Bathroom and Bedroom, BB6 - Lounge, BB7 - Kitchen).

Thanks VCK, I don't really design floorplans to be entirely realistic anyway. Glad you like it :)

Well this is basically what the House looks like simply:

The Garden is the part below the Grey line.

I'm sure this'll help. If you want to re-do your House, that is.

I might, I'll see. I'm glad you like it though :spin2:

the floorplan looks great!! did you base it on the elstree house?
