Once more into the map...
(Cartography is such a rabbit hole. hah)

Larb, glad that you liked my some of my variations. I love your work.

So this is (yet another) variant that tries to build on the single-block design (rather than the two block design that I posted earlier). The hope is that I could incorporate all of the necessary spaces within a single, simple design for this fortified estate / manor house. I also added more stairs to give access to the second floors and to the defensive wall.
  • Stairs to the Great Hall from the yard.
  • Backstairs up from the kitchen to the Great Hall
  • Stairs to the Barracks and Staff Dormitory from the yard.


Ground Floor
Blackwood-Hall-06a.png
A. Barbican entrance
B. Seige Armory (arrow stores)
C. Guard Room
D. Barracks
E. Quarters
F. No Second Floor
G.staff Dorm
H. Guest Quarters?
I. Kitchen (food prep and laundry)
  • Not sure if I should cut up this big space into smaller spaces or not. A set of stairs leads up to the second floor.


K. Dry Stores
  • Sacks of wheat, corn, long-term storage of siege-survival food.



Second Floor
A. Gate Sentry
B. Seige Armory (arrow stores)
C. Guard Quarters
D. bARRACKS
E. ?
F. No Second Floor
G. Staff Dorm
H.Guest Quarters
I. Great Hall
  • Two hearts to keep the winter cold out.


K. Lord's Hall
  • This would be a more intimate space for the noble family to spend their day.
  • Higher floors would be allocated to bedrooms for the children and parents.



Thoughts?
