I have a question, joining the balcony you drew an Ante room. What is that?

Your guess is as good as mine!
'Ante' merely means 'before', so 'a room before'.You can see it in the film - looking at the house from the lake aspect during the Balcony Scene(when Georg and Elsa are breaking off their engagement), behind them you can see two sets of double doors, separated by a short distance. We had a discussion somewhere (possibly previously on this thread) about what it was used for,and suggestions were: a room for the ladies of the house to gather to have tea in the sunshine when it was too cold on the terrace, a room for a convalescent or invalid, etc. Maybe you have an idea?!

An idea? Well I can see your point about the tea room, I'm just wondering why it would be upstairs. I can see that there is some sort of room in the movie. Maybe another family room. In my FF imagination I wish for it to be the master bedroom. But I doubt that G would have taken E to his room.

Most likely it was a multipurpose room, used for convalescing after an illness, perhaps an indoor garden room, a ladies' sitting room, or even a music room.

@indigoblue, just want you to know that I have recently written something about nightime travels around the second floor and I found your map quite useful...

Yes @utillity_singer I know, but a girl can dream of a nice grand room with an adjoining balcony and marvelous view. ....
I agree with @augiesannie it is very helpful @indigioblue

Didn't I post somewhere of corridor-creeping into Maria's room during a thunderstorm at night, but by someone other than the children...?

yes, @utility_singer covered that, and perhaps others as well.

Anne asked me why there were doors marked on the upstairs plan from the bedrooms on to the gallery around the hall. I put them in because you can see them in the film, although I agree, it is an odd place to find a door into a bedroom, as both rooms would also have access to the corridor. The only bedrooms I have seen with multiple doors are those in farcical plays! Now that's an idea!

This is fantastic! Just wondering...and this may make me look like a TSOM newbie for asking this (apologies for this), but is the front foyer (with the 2 staircases) real or made in a studio? In fact, what parts of the villa were real and what parts were a studio? It looks like that little "Laendler terrace" is a studio and I know that the backyard with the lake belongs to another house so I'm curious as to what is a studio and what is real. Thanks!

All the villa interiors are in Hollywood, plus the Ländler courtyard and the gazebo area. The rest of the "property" is in Austria. The front yard and backyard facing the house are a different location (Frohnburg) than the backyard facing the lake (Leopoldskron).

There was a gazebo on site, you can see it in the background of several scenes outdoors. I think the staircase and part of the main hall floor were used in The Poseidon Adventure

Hope you can understand the later ones where I have superimposed the upper floor on the lower one for simplicity (only Maria's room,the corridor and the balcony are seen upstairs).

Thanks! I don't know why, but I always thought the villa interiors were real. But now I'm sad to know that they're just a studio!

Well, if it helps, they were based on the real interiors of the homes they used.

I confess that I have endeavoured to build the von Trapp villa in my Sims 2 game, myself (for science!!!), and always ended up rage-quitting due to so many gaps and not really having a great sense of the actual shell of the house. It throws me off that the interior and exterior are mixed components in the film itself, and I'm not sensing the most logical use of space beyond the great hall. This is a great visual, though, and might be what I need to give it a shot again and get my longed-for blueprints finally designed down to perfect measurements.

I've thought about doing that so many times (with Sims 3 though), but I haven't because the Sims is incredibly addicting and I really don't have that time right now. I'd say to work from the inside out, since we don't really have a great idea of how the exterior is shaped, and just try to make it symmetrical/logical?
The other problem is that you can only have eight people in a family. Someone needs voted off the island!!! Although when I play the Sims, usually I just build cool houses and don't really care about the actual sims...

Do an AU, and marry Liesl off. This. This is what I typically do. Or, since I have the University Life extension for TS2, I'll make Georg and all the kids in one household and then immediately send the oldest two or three to college, and Maria usually has her own little flat downtown or something and then I move her out to the country and the romance begins. ... Did I just admit that I roleplay TSOM when I play God in a computer game? In my defense, I spend more time building houses than manipulating Sims... I've got it down to a science after so long! If you do it right, they do most of the legwork for you in terms of relationship-buliding! ;D

You might find the Guided Tour of the Villa von Trapp useful too (another thread I made previously) - with screencap visuals arranged in a sequential tour of all the rooms in the house, to orientate and amuse you! You may find it easier to use it in conjunction with the Floor Plans of the Villa von T.

Well, nothing, technically, augiesannie... but it does perpetuate the fanfiction-fueled realities that exist in my head, and... oh, screw it. It's so worth it. The best part is when they do things that are SO THEM without me doing a thing and I just sit there dying inside and filled with glee, watching it all go down.

I have just been reading the Dinner Question in Story Discussions, and the query arose about where is the dining room and where could they seat all those guests at the ball? My money is on it being the room on the bottom left of the ground floor (giving a great view of the lake in daytime), although whether it would be big enough is another question...

good guess, although the tight shooting of that scene - they feel smushed in the room to me - makes me feel somehow like there's no window. But I'll have to go back and take another look (of course).

Pretty sure there is window behind Maria's seat. There is no way they could dine all those people in that room. There has to be another room set up for such an event.

No, sorry, I meant a second, much larger dining room for large parties (not the small family dining room we see in the pine cone scene - I am sure that is off the sitting room, because you see it before Maria sings the reprise of 16/17 with Liesl).
I'm going to put a screencap of it on the Guided Tour of The Villa thread (on the Artwork board) because the one I chose when the Capt comes into the hall from the terrace just misses the door in question. It's on his right as he strides from the terrace door to the sitting room.

indigoblue how did I miss the awesomeness or your floor plan! I can think of at least three times I could have used this! Thank you!
