Okay so over the past few days I’ve been collecting more references. I didn’t have a clear idea of what material I wanted my walls to be made of, I didn’t know if brick or stone would be a good material as then I could create moss and other plant life growing from the cracks in the walls. Wood was my original choice helping create a natural organic feel. After research I found a photographer through an urbex photography group on DeviantArt,http://bluemangoimages.deviantart.com
He captured an abandoned cabin made from wood; the interesting and most capturing aspect of this was the white stripes between the planks of wood. After a bit of research I found this to be horsehair plaster. Ultimately this tipped my decision. Having areas of this plaster would help to break up the earthy colours and help balance the colour pallet.
One key feature I want to create is a fireplace with a stone oven above. I have been looking into how this would work and how to design it. I found a website which explains the various types of cooking with this kind of oven.http://www.fornobravo.com/pizza_oven_management/oven_operation.html
This would be the key area in the room, the table and chairs would be centred on this feature for warmth and convenience.
Another feature I have been toying with is the bedroom; I don’t know weather to use half of the loft area to create an upper bedroom. I have been designing some concepts, to keep in with the open plan theme there would be railings instead of walls to keep players from falling to the lower floor. One issue I have with this would be that the roof would need to be slightly higher, probably only half a floor as the height of the rafters would create the headspace however this would most likely cause issues with the collision boxes. I don’t want to create a big shack, this would be cold and hard to heat up and I think almost create too much empty space. I could cut this by putting half of the roof on a steeper slant; I think this could draw the eye down to the fireplace? My main issue with this idea is that it is too modern; I think cabins like this would be single story as it is easier to build.
I didn’t want to create an environment that was modern and up-to-date, I wanted to create a place that was almost in tune with nature, living off the land and using natural resources. This means no gas oven and radiators etc.
outside would be a shack where the lavatory would be. Out side there will also be either a hand pump or a well, this feature is yet undecided. Around the area would also be water containers, collecting rainfall.
