I’ve been thinking about what Cardassian homes look like, so here is what I’ve come up with. This is a house intended for one family of several generations. The large room in the middle, which receives light from the skylights, is where people spend most of their time when they’re awake. That’s where most meals are taken, children play and do homework, people socialise and so on and so forth. In this floor-plan, there are five bedrooms, but sharing is common.
For the exterior, I wanted to go with something that was consistent with the Cardassian architecture we see, but on a smaller scale. I intended the area just above the skylight to be solar-panels, but I’m not actually sure Cardassians would use solar energy, so maybe it’s just decorative. The oval thing above the door is a monitor connected to the door-bell, and also serves as a security feed.
Bringing this back to ask: what should I call the central room? I’ve been calling it ‘the family room’ in my fic, but it feels a bit weird. I considered ‘living area’, as on the sketch, but it feels too generic. Suggestions most welcome!
