OK, I've started working on the house an here is a little glimpse so far. The first two pictures are of the crowd space. I originally envisioned an outside studio similar to BB5, but this doesn't work well most of the time so I went against it. Housemates get out of the car and walk down a moderately long path, onto the podium, curve again onto the stairs that are angled against the doors, which have a balcony on which Davina can present, and the doors. I used the BB6 logo as an example. The doors have a multi-coloured texture around one side for décor. This is all to make the housemates feel happy until they actually enter the house.
This is what housemates see when they first go through the doors. The entranceway incorporates jagged walls of alternating colours alongside extensive track lighting. The entire entranceway, level and stairs, is shaped like a "U." It's a radical departure from what we've seen before on Big Brother.
This is the spiral staircase down which the housemates descend to enter the house via the light blue door at the bottom.
