Luxury Holiday Villa Inspired by StarTrek Movie

Article created on 27/06/2011 by Greg Durrant

Well if you are reading this you are probably thinking that “OMG someone is doing a villa based on Star Trek,” well I have not! All I said was that is was “inspired by a Star Trek Movie.

On the last Saturday passed I was sat just watching what ever was on TV in the afternoon, and as usual for the UK not much was on. But I did spot Star Trek “First Contact” and decided to put it on, and pick up my laptop and start browsing the web. Before I knew it I had put down the laptop and stared watching the Movie.  Then came the inspriration, after the Borg had attacked planet earth, there were people repairing the damage from the attack. And then I spotted it! These little huts that people were living in, they had a big cirular entrance at the front and a slanted roof that was higher towards the back.

And so the idea was born.


Unfinished view of the villa from the front.

I have only started this design and properly wont be finished for a couple of days. but it is really coming to life, as the wheather here in the East Midlands is hot for this country. So I can just picture it now this lovely and yet simple design. The building it self is 7 meters wide by 10 meters long, and 6.7 meters tall at the highest point, (but I do plan to make it a bit longer as there is an idea lurking in my head.)

As normal with me this building is going to be a Sustainable Design incorporating lots of Green Functions. Solar Panels on the roof and a Grey Water Collection System. Double glazing for all the windows, Solar Hot Water System as well.

With this simple design is a basic 1 Bedroom Accommodation, with a kitchen, bathroom / WC on the first floor and a utilty room in the plans. It has a open balcony at the front (for those hot summer nights,) and both the upstairs and the downstairs windows are “Half Moons” in shape. The stairs to the first floor are a Real Modest Design, and when design the stairs I have done a separate file which can be found on my Free Downloads Page Here.

Stairs rendered in Plywood, to give you an idea how simple this deign is going to be.

Well keep coming back to see how this project progresses.  I am thinking this won’t disappoint so long as you can get passed that this building was based around some inspiration from a Star Trek Movie. You will find loads more design on my website. click the Latest Posts link up the top to see all the designs I have done recently.
