Temple House Plan notes:

1) The circular mandala carpet in Urd's Castle is from various storylines. Facing one wall is a series of cabinets and a work area for her "stuffs".

2) Belldandy's hobby room is mostly empty, because it is more of a retreat room than a hobby room. She usually sews, paints, practices magic and daydreams about Keiichi from here.

3) In Skuld's Lab, the Cray-like computer in the corner is the Alpha 707 from graphic novel 15. Also, the Holophotic Videmeotron is wired to it. The little red mecha is a power source. Note that Skuld's chair is pulled up really close to her computer desk, because she's still a girl! If you look in the boxes, you'll find shojo manga.

4) Keiichi's Shop has two desktop computers...one is his trusty old 486, the other is his engineering/drafting computer. There are several stacks of boxes, mostly parts/junk left by his sempai and model/vinyl kits. Also, his 486 is on a futon-level floordesk, while his drafting computer is on a desk.

5) Cevn's Studio has a variety of synthis, mixers and four speakers.

6) The Universal Tea Room is based on traditional tearoom design. In the middle is a sunken hearth, with room for four guests. Along the wall is the utensil and preparation area. There is no tokonoma; this is a pre-Rikyu design, much larger than the prescribed four mats.

7) The bathroom has traditional Japanese appointments: furoba, drainboard, squat toilet.

8) Bell's Kitchen has an attached walk-in storeroom in upper left quarter of the kitchen.

9) The entryways in the living room and the sunroom have the traditional Japanese genkan foyers where guests leave their shoes, geta and zorii.

10) The bedrooms and living room have tatami flooring. The living room has three couch clusters: one for TV/Stereo/Karaoke, another "bench" couch, and a "conversation" wrap couch.  Note the antique Arabic carpet...it dates from the Ummayid Dynasty.

11) The dining room has a large dining table and futons. In the corners are kosatsu for winter months.

12) Many rooms have closets, chests and wardrobes, and of course, futon beds. As is typical of many student arrangements, bedrooms also have a study desk (Megumi's, Genji & Tomohisa's bedrooms).

13) As with many Buddhist temples, this one has a wooden walking gallery wrapping around it. The sunroom was formerly the abbot's quarters, the tea room was the head monk's quarters, and the ten bedrooms were monk cell rooms (presumably anchorite monks, since this is a small temple).
