What would be the odd addition to your dream house?

Somehow you’ve gotten your dream home. The cabin in the mountains, penthouse downtown, castle nestled deep in the woods, nuclear bunker in the hills, or whatever. Whats the bit you’d add that might raise a brow from others? The fireman’s pole? The slide? The moat? The hidden room behind a bookshelf where you keep your stuffed animals?

xkforce,

Underground lab or walk in greenhouse.

Zeb,

A bog ass telescope! That or a zeppelin baloon.

EmoDuck,

Corpses. Legally acquired corpses buried und the house, maybe some in hidden departments throughout the house. Just to fuck with whoever owns it after me

EmoDuck,

Treads. Ever seen/read Mortal Engines? Being a traction city sounds very easy when there is no competition. I’m gonna be the new Oberbürgermeister of the Great Hunting Grounds

dohju,

A Roman style inner courtyard!

A wife.

qyron,

I have bought my dream house. It’s old, cranky and somewhat scary. Now I only need the money to be able to return it to its former glory.

What I would want to add to her would be a few hidden compartments, one or two small root cellars to store wine and some balconies. If I really had the money, I’d modify the roof and build a small greenhouse/sunroom, big enough to put two chair and a small bookcase, after stuffing it with plants.

Nioxic,

A hidden elevator that leads into a batcave-like place but its just a place for me to play video games without the kids interrupting

A tower. I’m dreaming of it since I was a child and it’s weirdly specific, made from wood with a stone base to the first floor, and the roof has a mechanism to unfold a 1-person balcony. It’s not to be above other people, it’s more like a “I’m seeing everything but I’m safe and only I can decide who’s getting in my tower” -thing. Plus: I love wind and fresh air and hate the feeling of being underground or even trapped in a box. Would base jump and day, but would not set a foot into an underground mine if you give me a million dollars. Some day I’ll have a tower… Actually waiting for the land prices around here to fall a bit to buy building ground, no joke. Don’t know if my wife says yes to doubling the house building money for a meager tower though, lol

PickTheStick,

I feel you, mate. My dream is to build my own home, and yes, it’s going to be a wizard’s tower. I figure I’ll lay it out like a shorter, wider lighthouse so I can put the hard stuff like the bathroom and kitchen on the ground floor attachment/hall.

MargotRobbie,

A slide. I’ve always wanted a slide and I’ve been super vocal about it.

A secret passage. I’ve always wanted one. My parents built their home and I was genuinely disappointed that they skipped this vital element.

Streetdog,

If it’s a true secret passage they probably didn’t skip it.

Solemn,

A secondary “dirty” kitchen for butchering and so on, designed to be hosed down for cleaning. It would also probably have a walk in freezer, and that probably counts on its own.

teuto,

Is that a rimworld reference, because that’s prime rimworld base design

Solemn,

No, what’s the point of a two layered kitchen in rimworld? It’s been a while, though I think I do remember starting to integrate a kitchen into the fridge/freezer airlock area at some point.

teuto,

Butchering generates filth but only final meal prep checks filth for food poisoning chance. So when you have extra space and resources it’s good to separate butchering from cooking to have the lowest chance of food poisoning. Also in an airlock design it keeps colonists from dragging bleeding dead animals through the kitchen.

kratoz29,

I just want the Hey Arnold! room, but with cloudy weather for life… And reinforced glass because of third world country.

I know music producers have like a room where almost no sound can leak through. I want a room like that. If I’m ever overwhelmed I’ll just go to my quiet place :)
