Today that the heat has dropped a bit and I can start to think again, I remembered that I did a image with AutoCAD to help visualize the laboratory that Alba has in mind (if you give her access to a wax table to draw, she will do something like that... but a lot more rough):
Several things to take into account:
- Ignore the Small Expansion for now, that for the future. That space will be used to store tools until Alba improves her Refinement.
- Without taking into account the Small Expansion, the laboratory is around 810 sq feet (75 m2 or size +2), with the diameter of that part being 40 feet (12 m) and a height of 36 feet (11 m) to the highes point of the dome.
- The doors that lead to the laboratory and Alba's rooms, doesn't have hinges. At all effects they are very thick wood planks embedded into the wall. So they must be opened with magic.
- At the first floor, both doors and windows (except the ones at the lab, and the doors for the pantry and the latrines) are designed to be completely round (thats why are so wide).
- The rooms are at the east to have all the heat and light at the morning Alba will have better light since her room looks to the south-east).
- That tree there measures 28 feet (8.5 m). Thats the around highest size normally reachable by a hawthorn tree.
- About the human figures: the man average sized at 1.72 m tall, so it's easier to imagine the proportions of the building. The female is Alba sized at 1.42 m.
Due to the weird building procedures needed, its expected to cost more than a regular building and need more time to be finished (since a lot of excavation is needed, it should be started on summer, and since this year is already nearly there, so surely will not be possible to organize everything in time).
