Designer Notes:
I started this after reviewing the Homes of the Far Future thread in the Lone Star Forum.
Materials Used:
T4 Central Supply Catalog (used for alot of the interior fixtures)
GURPS Architecture, available on the web (used for most of the house structure)
GT Starports v1.0 (used for pool and property fence)
GURPS Traveller (used for Double Air/Raft Garage)
Striker v.1.0 (mainly for calculating house structure and armor value)
T20 edition Traveller (I used a very little tiny part of this for the house, but I can't tell you which part or how it was used. No, it has nothing to do with the vibrating recliners.)
1 house blue print, available most everywhere, with some detailing modified by me (especially the garage, the pool, and exterior sidewalks and patio.
This was my second attempt at designing a home of the far future. The first attempt was an abysmal failure; I tried to do a 5 bedroom estate house and, well, it had lots of math errors, and it didn't look right, so I just condemned the property and moved on. I decided to start with a already existing home plan and modify it, changing some of the exterior details and adapting the whole thing for gaming use. I mainly went with GURPS Architecture because, while many Traveller editions do well in detailing external structure (eg the house HULL), they do not do so well in detailing interior structures for a home (does your bedroom cost CR500,000? If it does, let me know. I'd love to be your tax preparer.) So, most of the house structure was done with GURPS Architecture. Practically all of the electronics and locks come from T4, except the telephones, which are from Striker. The furniture is from GURPS Architecture, and the pool, and property fence are from GT Starports. The one external home feature that I didn't use GURPS Architecture for was the windows, since I do not own GURPS Vehicles. I had to go to another source to figure the cost for the homes windows.
There are a few items that I could not figure. Plumbing and Electrical utilities I abstracted into the cost of the interior rooms, but I know at least 1 web design for Traveller homes out there has a seperate cost for these utilities. Cost of land was another issue. I tried using GURPS ARCH for the land cost, but the numbers just didn't seem to come out right. My own notion, based on the age old technique of "pulling a figure out of my *ss", was that 1 acre of land would equal Cr20,000.
If anyone has a better notion for land value in Traveller, please, share it with the group.
I'm looking for critques, suggestions,and/or commnetaries on this design, and I'd really love to see other designs for homes of the far future.
