Deckard's Apartment

[Bendzhamin1967]

Wondering if anyone has ACCURATE[ floorplans to Deckard's apartment... before i spend a week drawing them up. I have seen several online but none that are accurate enough to make me leave the project to someone else. This group is amazing...

I have plans, but they are only sketches right now, and are only as accurate as I can tell. I would love to see this done and would be willing to help in any way.

It would be fun to see that project come to life! Like real architectural floor plans...or the kind of elevations that Space Jockey did for the Nostromo

Yes, I'd like to see a real floor plan myself. Besides the before mentioned plan, which doesn't seem accurate to me, is this small architectural model:

Once upon a time I emailed Syd Mead about a floor plan. But just got a nice reply from an assistant saying there was no floor plan, it was just four rooms in a row.

But if someone could create one, based on viewing the film, that would be fantastic!

The layout always confused me, would love to see an accurate plan.

I'm with you Gaff; especially when we know that Ridley moved things around all the time . It's difficult to get a grip on the spacial arrangement and spread of the apt.

I think the 3D model is the closest I have seen, minus a few things. for one you could look over to the dining room from the bathroom.

The Final cut box set extras, especially Dangerous Days, has some new and better lit shots to work from. I am convinced their was a floor plan because Mentor Huebner's set drawings are consistent with the film set.

Links to the larger pictures from the 3D model...





The breezeway is also missing as part of the apartment. I also would have included the elevator, hallway, and stairway.

I've seen that model posted before but get blown away every time i see it. Stunning.

[Bendzhamin1967]

I spent a week after all... thanks for the insight guys, and its fascinating to see we all all use the same or similar sources. The architectural model was a good STARTING POINT, and i have made allowances for the fact i do think Ridley Scott moved the walls around. I drew it in 1/10 scale and am now in the process of using SKETCHUP to walk around a three d version and check my dimensions. I will keep you posted.

[Bendzhamin1967]

OK, after much conversation, i am settling on a print size of 24 inches by 36 inches for the floorplan of the apartment. Incidentally i arrived at a length of 68 feet from the main entry door all the way to the furthest wall visible in the BALACONY shot, width on MY calculations is 51' 4". At ANDY's suggestion i am adding the elevator and the walkway from there to the front door. Will keep you all posted.

[joberg]

Sounds good; looking forward to see your project take form.

[Bendzhamin1967]

Why is it when i decide to take on a task, the entire family's world collapses. Anyway, i digress...

Commencing work on the 24x36 sheet version of the floorplan, simultaneously with the 1/6 scale. Final apartment size is roughly 60'x40'.

this is what i am thinking:

apartments floorplan
elevations (varied views)
lift(elevator) detail
important FILM SCENE annotations on a separate floorplan

Would like some feedback from somewhere other than my guitar...

[andy]

Very Exciting! From what you have shown me so far, these should be pretty impressive.

Andy

[joberg]

Turn away from the amp ...just kidding of course (saw your feedback quote). Sounds good to me, I'm sure others will chime in...but you have my total admiration to tackle such task; it's not easy.
