A question of design...

[Green-Pilgrim]

Using the D&D book "Stronghold Builder's Guide" I found some interesting designs for some of the component rooms.


The basic barracks for the guards and footmen is a simple room with lots of single beds. I could use this for stashing any number of the 'help' so long as they're easily replaceable.


The kitchen design allows the combination of a kitchen and pantry all within the same space. All I would need to do is to connect it to the great hall somehow.


With this as the great hall I could add in a door below the riser so that meals / feasts could be delivered from the kitchen more easily.

I love pre-made rooms. It makes laying spaces out so much easier.

Still putting things together.

Something like this.

This is a mockup of the great hall and kitchen/pantry concept. The other buildings are all 2 stories so this would be as well. The second story of the kitchen could easily be converted into living quarters for the Cook and a few scullery maids whereas the great hall has a large, cathedral ceiling to allow for hanging chandeliers, banners, etc.

Still plugging along.
