endgameSo, some of you may remember a post I did a while back on the layout of 221B (Original Post).
Since then, I've been working on a more accurate version. It's not yet finished, but I have the basic foundation of the flat down. It's still lacking furniture, but unlike my original model, this has the first two floors, so this should help people who were asking about the flat in reference to the street.
Google Street View
In general, the flat seems to fit with what google is telling me about the exterior location. The only thing that's incongruous is the number of storeys.
(the windows actually are three panes across, not two, but that's harder to model).
The area to the right is Speedy's Snack Bar, the left is the hallway we're familiar with. Under the stairs is the door that leads to 221C (the flat the shoes were found in). I have not modelled this because, well, it's full of enough inconsistencies that I have taken to referring to it as Moriarty's TARDIS with a very strong perception filter. In the back is Mrs. Hudson's place.
number of stairs/pitch of stairs is wrong, but stairs are a pain in the ass to do, so I find myself not caring...
I would point out the window, though. It's clearly an exterior window, but it makes no fucking sense in relation to the rest of the flat. The second flight of stairs leads up to the upstairs bedroom that Mrs. Hudson mentioned, though I don't believe we've ever seen it.
Overview of the flat's layout. Still not sure what's going on in the rooms off from the kitchen, but I assume they're Sherlock's bathroom and bedroom.
Street-facing wall. I think these windows should be fairly accurate in terms of height.
facing away from the street. That funny looking thing on the left is an interior window. It's frosted pretty heavily, but you can see it from both the hall way and inside their flat. Bookshelf height is accurate, though the shelf placement is not (particularly on the far bookshelf, which is missing a shelf to accommodate the television)
View of both the rooms
Hallway/kitchen. I didn't model the fridge, but it's the box between the box for the door and the window.
Kitchen cabinetry. These shelves are both weirdly angled out. Centre is the stove/oven. To the left is the sink.
The hall/kitchen from the back.
As always, corrections/suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
ETA: so, my brain finally connected that the behind the scenes would have useful informationin my defence, I've not slept a lot lately...
and I noticed a few things. The first is that there's an excellent shot of the kitchen cabinets. I don't think I got anything wrong, but it's probably useful for anybody who wants details for writing.
Okay, the second doesn't actually have to do with the behind the scenes, but I got my dad into the series and was just on the phone with him. Last post, there was discussion on what the white boxy thing was. He (a scientist) thought it looked like an old incubator, which makes sense given its proximity to the microscope, I guess? (also, trust Sherlock to grow bacterial cultures next to where he cooks food...the scientist in me is weeping)
The third, more relevant thing, is that looking at the studio the interior scenes were filmed indear BBC. I love you guys, but why is such a helpful shot so quick and low-quality? You're killing me..., we have some answers to the flat's layout. Or rather, definitive lack of answers.
The set they show in the behind the scenes does not contain any rooms behind the kitchen (other than the hall). What we see out of the kitchen window is (...idk I'd call it a cyc if we were in a theatre) a piece of taut fabric.
So. Added to my wishlist for next season: shots of the bedrooms.
