I heard a rumor that the house might be changing this upcoming season, so i decided to make a thread about it.

If the house layout is changing next season what would you like to see in it (i.e. layout, design, theme, function).

This is a house that I posted on another thread, but i didnt get any feedback so i changed it a little bit.

Roy Mars III · 08-01-2012, 05:51 PM

I hope the house changes. It should every few seasons or so.

Donovan. · 08-01-2012, 05:56 PM

Yeah I dont think that it should be every season because i think that might be too much for america to handle, myself included, but every few seasons would be good.

Roy Mars III · 08-01-2012, 05:58 PM

Agreed, and probably cost too much money. One of the reasons CBS likes Big Brother so much is that it's pretty cheap to make compared to other shows.

I hope that there are more house rooms on the second floor besides the hoh bedroom. I hope that next season they make some drastic changes to the diary room so it actually fits the house. But the current diary room is my favorite one.

BTW donovan can you put doors? It's hard to figure out how to get to the diary room

me too thats why i put a gym on the second floor

yeah its a little confusing but i put the house on a lot of different levels so the house is a little more interesting, since there are stairs going down to the living room i put a platform next to the hallway of the diary room which is that white rectangle next to the hallway of the diary room

Anyway here is the floor plan with the doors

the reason that there's a door in front of the hoh staircase is because i just felt like since i pushed it into the wall there should be a glass partition infront of it. i would also put glass partitions around the bathroom (where there isnt production areas), in the bedroom behind the three first beds on the left and for the entrance to the bedroom, and maybe around the living room just before the stairs

nice idea but i'd swap the kitchen and bedroom around personally ^^

BBfanUSA · 11-01-2012, 11:41 PM

I thought of a cool layout idea. Entrance is in the backyard and the backyard is on the other side of the house from the living room. The living room is set up like BB7UK with the diary room entrance inside this seperate living room from the rest of the house

That actually sounds like a really good idea. I don't know if you do mock up layouts but you should definitely try one for this because I would like to see how it could work

BBfanUSA · 24-01-2012, 08:00 PM

uh i don't do sketchups i was just sending an idea out there

Donovan. · 28-01-2012, 05:29 PM

this is another house design that i just recently did. The living room was kind of inspired by a night club with circle lounges and the last house that i did with the sunken living room. And i put in an eviction hall so that we could actually see them walking to front door instead of just waiting to see them appear from the front door. I added more space to the 2nd floor, because the house doesnt need to feel cramped with a 2nd floor. i didnt add a pandoras box to the HoH because i felt like if PB was really necessary, the DR could be used.

Great designs there - and really like how you've stuck with reality and worked with the space they have rather than just put everything in you want.

The layout is long overdue a change (it's been the same since BB6, which essentially was only a flipped version of the old BB1-BB5 house anyway). Not sure though if one bedroom is the way to go with BBUSA - though your original design with the have/have not split bedroom works.

And talking of have/have nots, years ago I did a plan for a Rich/Poor split US house. I really think the format would work within the US format as physically dividing alliances would change the dynamics each week, giving the rich housemates access to the HoH that the poor HMs can't get. Quality isn't great but you get the idea - basically the existing spare room/bathroom becomes the poor area, with the bathroom moved to one of the bedrooms for the rich half. The diary room is relocated so it can be accessed from both sides and the garden layout is changed to reflect the divide - and include the poor kitchen/outdoor bathroom. HoH is upstairs as normal.

I like it but the gym needs to be cut in half and the half that the gym doesn't use is the storage room because if the hgs put thier ears up to the storage room then they could really hear production.

That would be fun and interesting to see how it turned out. I like your layout.

I need to mention. If BB6 never found the secret bedroom. They would've had one bedroom

I wonder what Big Brother would have done if they hadn't found the gold room.

I'm sure they could hear production from a lot of places in the house. But Brekkie where would eviction night take place though. Would it be in the poor lounge since it's closer to the DR?

i think they would've revealed the room on the final week

lostalex · 08-02-2012, 06:30 AM

I think they were told that there was a secret room, so they woulda found it eventually.

This. And the producers tend to lead the HGs into some of their decisions, it's been said.

I also enjoy the layout, but think of adding in a Poor Gym. It would have something absurd in it, like a pommel horse from the 1960s(think upcoming Olympics that they'll be missing while in the house) and a lone sad looking medicine ball in a very small room.

you're right. In fact the first night Ivvette was looking for it on that wall.

Donovan. · 11-02-2012, 05:47 PM

My friend helped me make this one. He had this idea of a BB house where the HGs walked straight into the lounge. So i made this.

I also like the sliding door that BBUK 9 had for the diary room so that's what i put in. A the edrooms are inspired by the B-Block from BBUK 9 and the bedrooms from BBAUS 8.

Are they all going to use the HOH bathroom?
