Was watching some stuff about this wacky 70s bunker and as tacky and ridiculous as it is my inner manchild can't help but be fascinated by this idea. So I was thinking, since I live alone and own my house, why not be stupid for once and turn a small spare room into a fun fake exterior? Obviously it wouldn't be a bunker so all the survival and living considerations are out the door, it would just be a cool aesthetic lounge spot to read books, play games, etc.And since this was built in the 70s surely there's much better tech and resources to create something better looking that's cheaper and easier.Any ideas /diy/?
>>2795923First pic reminds me of Dark Hollow from Spyro the Dragon.
>>2795923I think you should just go outside if possible
the bunker in question if you're interestedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V7ki-zFd5A
If you wanna go for the ultimate teenager trash there's the cloud ceiling
>>2795941Nice>>2795923As visible in that pic, you need an insane amount of light. A ‘bright daylight’ photograph shot with only artificial light takes like 1000W of light and that’s with mirrors and everything.If you can get real stone and running water like a small creek that would add loads to the experience I think. And put real plants unless you want it to feel like teletubby land or mario world.
>>2795941>ultimate teenager trashthat would be the """""plant""""" wall
there's something uncanny but also comfy about this
>>2795980>unless you want it to feel like teletubby landNot OP but that was so comfy to me as a kid. Real turf is dirty, full of bugs and not even particularly comfortable. Fluffy green mounds of carpet are far more idyllic
>>2795934imagine building your doomsday bunker on an extinct sea floor. what a fucking retard. The first wave of continental sized tsunamis will flood your entire setup and kill you.
>>2796006shouldn't you be asking how the fuck is he gonna power all that shit after the apocalypse?
imagine living in a theater set
even professional million dollar projects in disney parks don't look like real environments
>>2796020Yeah I’m sure they never thought of that. You found their Achilles heel.
>>2795923I kind of like that idea, having the exterior of a building indoors has a unique feel to it. Can't really explain it.
>>2796157buy this and put it inside above a fake turf mat
>>2795934>Original owners had dwarf-tier height>Lived underground Poetry
>>2795934>>2795923I would want to sleep ‘outdoors’ all the time. I wonder what the temperature is like there
>>2795923that looks like a nightmare to clean
green carpet vs fake turfwhat are the pros and cons?
>>2796442one gives you rug burnthe other, lacerations
>>2795923Get a model railway or aquarium.
>>2796448why are little microcosm worlds so comfy and fascinating?
>>2796450It's a self-contained world where you control everything, and bad things only happen if you want them to. Well sorta. There was that time when the pump failed and the water level dropped to about nothing and that made it easy for the crayfish to track the salamanders down and eat them alive with those food-processor cutter things sticking out of their heads.

you must be 18+ to post on this site
>>2795923The ceiling is always way too low to not have it feel like you're in a well-lit wizard of oz hellhole, plus it must be echoey as hell in there.
>>2796868what if instead of sky you do a cave-like ceiling?
>>2795923just do some wall gardens and grow strawberries or herbs or something and use nice naturally-shaped wood for the furniture in the room. Have a mister and some periodic breeze, maybe a windchime if you're feeling it, and maybe if you're feeling extra get a nice big bird cage for like a 3rd of the whole room where they can do whatever. Or a naturalistic jungle paludarium, that might be cool.
>>2795923Your lower LH pic has the right idea by using the wall as the exterior of a building to read as being outside, as opposed to trying to recreate all enveloping nature...better to create the illusion of a delineated exterior space like a plaza or courtyard or an alley or other passage where you expect boundaries...then you can fake hedges or a wall of foliagein other spots, light it from above like light flows into those spaces and you're on your way. As far as new tech goes, high def LED projectors are getting dirt cheap and in the right spot you could create all kinds of super convincing exterior views with the flip of a switch or via a phone app...you dont even need a computer, just plug a thumb drive in with pics, or stream video to it if you want motion.
>>2796883The cave provides.
Another similar idea that can be kind of cool is where someone takes a big open warehouse space and installs what amounts to a typical house inside it...the rollup doors in picrel lets you close off or open the "yard" area so it can be inside or extend to the real outdoors.
>>2796906now all OP has to do is buy a warehouse and build an house inside it!
Part of what makes outside feel like the outside isn't the visuals but the air quality and movement(wind)Even with AC I doubt you can replicate that indoors
>>2795923dystopic
>>2795934hideous decor
>>2795926I was going to say it reminds me of a spyro world
>>2795923That shit is creepy but hobby lobby has really good fake plants that we decorated our living room with in kind of a modern/forest mixed theme
>>2795923"Smart" lights let you change their hue and brightness.You could run that on a program or timer to change for a sunset/rise and night time.Use glow in the dark paint in little specks for stars that show up when it darkens.
>>2795923Real plants
>>2798258>You could run that on a program or timer to change for a sunset/rise and night time.this is more important that it seems at first blush. dealing with the passage of time and keeping your body in some sort of circadian rhythm helps for sanity.DESU if I ever found myself in this situation, I'd just put one in my own head. I got better shit to do than suffer in some solitary pit in the ground.
>>2795934I love the concept but the execution and taste level is very unfortunate
>>2795934God I love this aesthetic. I wish I wasnt a complete retard autist at decorating to pull this off
this is only somewhat kinda sorta cool because it's underground. if you do this in a regular room it's gonna be lame. at least do a basement
