Changing Rooms

Description

Starfleet is notorious for making their shipboard life as comfortable as possible for their officers, including the shared quarters with just bunkers in them. Even though many of them come in the same format, each person who inhabits them puts their own personal touch to them. So it’s time to open the doors and share with your colleagues what your quarters look like. 

Pick one of your characters and create a floor plan and design of what their quarters look like. You can do this by using RoomSketcher (https://www.roomsketcher.com/). You can create a free account and RoomSketcher allows you to create 5 projects for free. 

Tips

Example

Welcome to the quarters belonging to Captain James Preston McCallister, commanding officer on the starship Odyssey. McCallister shares his quarters with his wife and three teenage sons. Due to the unique and modern designs of Odyssey-class ships, the captain’s quarters is split into two floors, almost giving it a penthouse suite vibe with the use of space. The decor remains modern and has holographic projectors everywhere allowing the family to use them for entertainment purposes or to create additional furniture if needed. 

On the ground floor, which includes the main entrance, is the family living space that has a dining area and a usable kitchen. McCallister and his wife enjoy cooking, so the kitchen is a special add-on. On occasions McCallister has hosted regular gatherings for the senior staff, as such the dining table can be extended to accommodate ten people around it.  Also on this floor is the captain’s private study, an area where he can work from home when he is off duty and wants a break from the use of the ready room. A simple glass desk at one end while at the other end are a pair of large mahogany stained oak book shelves. By the desk sits a telescope, a gift that was given to McCallister when he took command of the Odyssey from Fleet Admiral Luke Duncan. 

The second floor includes the shared room of Captain McCallister and Commander Reyas that has its own en-suite bathroom. Along with a double sonic shower it has a huge bath too. The room has a number of cupboard spaces for their respective clothing along with a king size bed. Next to their bedroom, along a small corridor, are the cabins belonging to the McCallister triplets. Each room comes with a double sized bed, a desk for the boys to do their studies along with an armchair each. The first room belongs to Theo, then Henri and finally Alfie. Each one was decorated when the boys become teenagers to reflect them growing up, as such each one is designed differently. Opposite to Henri’s room is the family bathroom. This is solely used by the boys, so expect this to be a mess even though it has plenty of facilities for them to use. Typical teenagers! 

The stairs that join both floors are curved on a spiral. Dotted around the quarters are many pictures of the McCallister-Reyas family, mainly of the boys at different ages, along with pictures of other family members and friends. The quarters are brightly lit during the day while large bay windows are found in almost every room. As the quarters face forward, they give an excellent view of what is facing the ship. Pale blue carpet runs through every room.   

Criteria

  • To enter the competition, take a screenshot of the aerial view of your quarters and include a brief description (no more than 500 words) to supplement the picture.
  • You must use RoomSketchers to create your floor plans. Please do not pay for membership and if you already have an account, please do not use any of the Pro features. 
  • Submissions must include the screenshot of the quarters and a brief description (no more than 500 words). 
  • Make sure your quarters are realistic in size and layout, for example a smaller ship like the Defiant wouldn’t have lots of space for a huge set of quarters like a Galaxy would. Try to add special features that are unique to your character too. 
  • Winners will be judged on a mark out of ten (10) for each criteria: - Realistic layout/design of quarters for the class of ship/starbase - is there some sort of logic to location of furniture? Does the room and what is in it reflect the character? - Inclusion of any special features/items - what is it? Where is it? What makes it special? - How appealing the description is - does it match to what the plans/design show and make the reader want to be there?
  • If there is a tie-breaker then an extra ten points maybe added for artistic flare and originality to those who tie in points.

Alexander Beckett (#1036)

These are the quarters of Captain Matt Rourke, Commanding Officer of the USS Endeavour. The Obena-class is one of the larger ships in the fleet, with crew enjoying facilities comparable to those of a Galaxy-class, and the captain’s rooms are the most luxurious aboard. The furnishings, carpeting, and bulkhead painting matches the warm burgundy carpets and brass fixtures of the rest of the ship, and much of the furniture is thus of dark wood or warm hues to maintain the cosy aesthetic. Potted plants provide the main contrasting colours, and lighting is usually warm rather than bright.

The main room is larger than in most quarters, with tall windows beginning at waist height and spanning to the ceiling. These curve both horizontally and vertically along this section of the hull. The interior wall is largely taken up with the replicator unit and a main computer display and interface. One corner is dedicated to comfortable seating around a coffee table for casual entertaining, with a nearby cabinet usually stocked with the captain’s preferences of whisky and wine to offer guests. Beside it is a reading chair and side table with a clear view of the window for quiet relaxation. A dining table further into the room, near the replicator unit, can seat six, with chairs that pack away snugly to maximise space.

A half-wall beside the reading chair gives the captain a more secluded office space by the window. The desk includes a terminal, and stands adjacent to shelving for the captain’s documents, PADDs, and book collection. The window is lowered here to give a clear view from the desk.

The bedroom beyond is large and comfortable, with multiple rugs. A king-sized bed is furnished in browns to match the decor, and along the interior wall is the dresser and a wide wardrobe. A deck-to-ceiling mirror is on the bulkhead opposite the bed. By the window is a low table and two armchairs to accommodate the captain’s occasional habits of reading in the middle of the night, and offering a more intimate seating arrangement than in the main room if necessary. More floor-rugs keep the room particularly homely. By the captain’s choice, the bathroom has both a large shower unit and separate bath.

Standard designs include an additional room in a captain’s quarters on an Obena-class, which can be configured as a guest room (with en suite), a more expansive home office with more facilities, a home gym with workout and exercise equipment, or a dedicated kitchen and dining area. At present, Captain Rourke has yet to make use of this room.

R’Tor (#2309)

The USS Adventure, an Aquarius-class ship is relative in size to a Defiant-class ship. Space and comfort can be more difficult to come by. Unlike larger ships, these smaller ships are spartan in comparison and the rooms are relative in size of ships from the mid-23rd century.

On the USS Adventure, R’Tor opted to convert the ready room on the starboard side of Deck 1 into a small hideaway rather than occupying the standard Deck 2 officer’s quarters. Due to security, the main door can only be accessed through a private hall, which is located nearly 12 meters from the main bridge’s entrance. The suite is divided into two sections, one for living and one for sleeping, though a built-in couch adds additional creature comforts as a sitting area rather than the standard work desk. The bedroom holds a small bathroom nook with a sonic shower.

This location keeps him close to the bridge. Not to mention the fact that the Deck 2 quarters were the same size and with space as a premium, he saw no reason for a ready room. In addition is also freed up extra space should it be needed.

STYLE & LAYOUT
With a mixture of colors and textures, R’Tor has surrounded himself in a comfortable Bohemian hideaway. The living area reflects his more serous personality. With a special Caitian leather recliner, the reading corner has built in bookshelves that are adorned with his collection of old law books and various curiosities collected from the places he visited across the Alpha Quadrant. This aesthetic and use of texture and color may not be considered Starfleet, but the unconventional decor shows he has a variety of interests and admires the creativity of other cultures.

In most starships, a door does not separate the bedroom from the living space, just a frame to indicate moving from one room to another. R’Tor added a sliding door and framed it with drapes to give the bedroom a bit of privacy.

Living Room.
Looking around the living room, one can see that the CO is a collector of books and other odds and ends. A built-in replicator that displays a holographic fire when not in use. As well as a wall mounted aquarium, and a corner couch, these esthetics gives this room a life all its own. While some would recoil at the green grass like carpet, it is the one element that makes him feel truly at home. Especially on his feet.

Bedroom
In contrast to the living area, the bedroom has a desitcint Bohemian style with bright colors and drapes that adorn the walls. With lights and drapery this lack of structure shows a carefree side of the captain. With layers of pattern, texture, and color. The large bed and aesthetic shows this area is personal and focused upon relaxation and comfort.
While the lack of windows is a drawback, R’Tor prefers the darkness, as his ancestral home is little more than a modern cave.
