2 Point Perspective | Floor Plan | Google Sketch-Up

This is a two point perspective sketch of the third floor guest bedroom. It features a bed and two bookcases. During the Victorian Age, without electronics, evening entertainment came from reading books: hence, the large bookshelves.

This is a floor plan of the third floor guest bedroom. Sleeping quarters in Victorian homes were often small. For this reason, there is a limited amount of furniture.

 The four images to the left and below are made in Google Sketch-Up. The design is a Victorian Second Empire mansion, featuring a mansard roof, dormer windows, patterned slate, and a wrap-around porch. The structure's rectangular shape, tallness and slenderness, and dominant center tower are also Second Empire features. The Google Sketch-Up model, based upon Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor, is lacking in considerable detail. The curvilinear shapes and patterned details are difficult to create in Sketch-Up. French architects used the term "horror vacui" (fear of unadorned surfaces) to describe the Second Empire style. This does not lend itself well to a novice Sketch-Up user.
