24th century living

Yeah, I've seen that once. Wasn't the guy going to sell the apartment? That's what I couldn't really get behind: Why do you build such a giant thing only to sell it afterwards? :vulcan:
 
hi 1701.

yeah, I remember him on richard and judy one afternoon, saying how he was building jeffreys tubes or something. And something about not having any friends.

I think he went bankrupt with all the renovations, plus it was worth a small fortune afterwards. Or something like that :)

Maybe the novelty wore off, not having anywhere proper to sleep, no comfy sofa, no windows? I mean, it'd be nice for a little holiday stay, but not to live in permanently. Remember it is all cosmetic = no working computer panels. Quite a lonely space really :(

It's got nowhere to sit and nowhere to sleep. About the only thing it does have are fake control panels all over the place. The pictures look cool, but in reality the experience would get old after about five minutes.
 
Hi George.

It has stools to sit on. And a transporter pad to sleep on. But like I say, no home comforts. He'd have been better off designing it in the style of the captain's quarters, rather than the transporter room.

I mean, the transporter room has got to be the most boring room on the Enterprise. The endless hours that O'Brien must have stood alone behind that console waiting, hoping, praying, for something to be beamed somewhere... That's the world/life that Tony's created for himself.
 
If I were rich enough my home would be a comfortable space with a few "working" LCARS panels controlling the AC and such. But they would be unobtrusive. Much like an average 24th century home would probably be.
 
Saw this on Richard and Judy too, a little weird, but whatever.
 
Yes it's cool if you want to simulate living on a shuttlecraft. I just saw Trekkies 2. Most of them I'm kind of proud of but this guy seems to have been living in the shuttlecraft a bit too long.
We don't have Richard and Judy over here, but it seems a real missed opportunity to call it Dick and Judy.
I'd really like a TNG-inspired living room, but loosely so. Skylights, a couch, a couple of recliners for Helm and Ops. A few working panels. And a bat'leth hanging in the kitchen.
 
I, too, would prefer a room styled more like quarters from the Enterprise D rather than a transporter room. A transporter room is so... drab.

I think my fiance's dream is to create a home theater in a future basement modeled after the Galaxy-class bridge. As it is my favorite bridge, I think it might actually happen, but we'll see... :) It could be fun watching movies from the FO's chair on a huge viewscreen :)
 
Too many control panels, not enough brushed stainless steel panels, feels like you are living a gorram computer core.

Correlation or Causation? You decide. Phone in now... :)

(actually I do agree with you; it would be fun to have that decor for a few days)
 
I saw it in Trekkies 2. I always thought it was a little silly. Nice if you're doing a fan film or something, but impractical. There's no easy way to live in that, so no wonder he's selling it. I always wonder why he built it in the first place.
 
It's so dark! I would go nuts! Throw in some Enterprise-D style rooms, functional LCARS panels (blender, stove, A/C, adjustable bed, toilet) and turn a bedroom into a mockup of Picard's quarters and then I'd want to live there!
 
That is NOT 24th century interior design, nor is it a 24th century home.

What IS?

The Uxbridge's house on Rana 4 was a typical human civilian settlement.

The home of Marla and Jeremy Aster, on Earth, was a typical human settlement.

The crew quarters on the 1701-D could be seen as 24th century interior design... at least as much as would be expected on a 24th century "military" vessel.

This guy's house was just whack. :D
 
It looks cool but the parts that I find sort of lame are the MSDs, parts labeled "tactical security", etc. The LCARS look rocks, but why not have the MSD show a detailed layout of the actual house instead of a fake ship? Make some of the LCARS panels functional and give them real names and purposes.
