Ok, i finaly got the whole change to .jpg thing down. So here is the first of four building concepts. It is a large footprint manor with balconis both front and rear and a ground-floor kitchen. LN, you should be able to guess the inspiration for this one
The Image is numbered, with each number reffering to specific notes.
FRONT
1> The 'fortifications' are purely cosmetic, they are of(roughly) uniform size and shape. The idea is that the UC would like to have things like this to convey an image of strength and resilience (like an actual fort) without the added cost (and structuaral weight) of making such crenelations (to use thier technical name) militaristicaly viable.
2> Refering specificaly to the small paterned and inset line under the dome proper (you will also notice this patern is applied to the section between the ground floor roof and upper level floor). The patern is non-specific and is used to indicate areas of the texture that would be done in a specific 'trim' colour.
3> The inner wall of the doorway would follow the curve to the outer portion. Only the main door (and the window above it) would be part of any 'flat' section, and only if it proves inpractical to mount them into the curved surface somehow.
4> Front Door: Double doors made of solid wood with inset decorated pannels (two for each half-door, one up, one down).
5> While there is no roof, and thus no need for roof supports, the pannels themselves would be taken from the modular balcony pannel set i have already posted. The 'posts' would be capped with decorative mini-domes.
6> Front bacony access door. Two halves, like main door, but without the rounded top portions.
7> Small open roof space with iron railings. Would be access via a ladder and trapddor located just inside the balcony door (see 9).
TOP
8> Rear balcony with half-length roof in tiled style (NOTE: Tile colour should match dome colour, not trim colour).
9> Top view off front balcony roof piece showing the location of the roof access trap door. Stairs to greater roof area are optional as the roof-space is not really intended to be used for anything (though the quality of construction would still make this posible).
10> Double floor chimney: Ground floor would be the main kitchen stove/oven. Top floor would (if anything) have a small decorative fireplace (as this area would be a bedroom).
BACK
11> Rear door (and rear balcony door). They would be the same as the door for the front balcony.
EDIT: Front and rear balcony floor level would need to be raised to match the interior upper floor level. I only realised this mistake after i had finished the drawing and was unable to edit it without smudging it horibly.
