Thorpe Villa

Johannes Grimm Thorpe (Mainly)

The Thorpe Villa is home to one of the most prominent families in Beacon Hills. It started construction in 2002 and finished in 2004. The villa was designed by Mikkel Flesvig, a good friend of Fredrik Thorpe, the owner of the villa.

Throughout the years, the villa has been the residence of Johannes Thorpe. It is the official address of Annette and Fredrik Thorpe as well, however they rarely spend long periods of time there.

The villa has been used as a place to host parties for students at the Beacon Hills high school, as well as extravagant dinners with some of the town's richest people.

## Design

The outside of the villa has taken it's inspiration from the many holiday homes that the couple has used during their life. Inside, it's more modern and simplistic. Most of the design is white, smooth and lack decoration. There are many hidden compartments in the house, and the amount of space in the house makes it very open.

Other than the pool, most of the outside area has been added in later periods, such as the grill-area, the winter garden and the sauna.

## Rooms

### Entrance/Car park

Upon arriving at the villa, there is a large car park connected to the Thorpe's garage. Their garage runs under the house and the hill it is built on. It can fit about 4 cars. The outside car park can fit another 5 cars. The entrance to the house is up a small slope with marble stairs.

### First floor

The first floor is fitted with the necessities of the house. It's mostly very open and has few separated rooms. Just like the second floor, it has many floor to rceiling windows. The walls are mainly white or a light grey, and most shelves are hidden into the walls.

#### The lounge

When entering the villa, one would arrive in the lounge. The lounge has a couple of, mostly, decorative couches, as well as a shoe rack and dresser that's hidden in the walls. From the lounge there is a way to the main room (kitchen-living room), the dining room, the guest toilet and down to the basement.

#### The main room

This is essentially the main part of the Thorpe Villa, it contains the kitchen, the living room, the TV, the exit to the pool and the alcohol cabinet. The kitchen is designed with light grey marble surfaces and is bigger than the average kitchens and is the one part that Annette Thorpe had a lot to say about. Next to the kitchen is a hidden alcohol cabinet, that has a newly installed code-lock.

The other part of the main room is the living room part. It consists of three couches, a coffee table, and a TV. Around there are mostly windowed walls, but light-proof drop down curtains are installed to block out the light when watching TV.

#### The Dining room

The dining room is in an area separated from the main room. It is mostly just used for dining. Johannes, the main resident, barely eats there and the room is mostly untouched when Annette and Fredrik are not home. If needed, it can fit 20 people around an extendable table. It's one of the only rooms in the house that has black furniture and paintings on the wall.

#### Additional

The first floor has two bathrooms, as well as a small storage room.

### Second Floor

The second floor of the villa is the least used part of it. It contains the master bedroom, the music room, the office, 3 guest rooms and two bathrooms.

#### The music room

The Music room used to be an office, before Johannes' interest for music bloomed. It was made into a soundproof room, and hosts countless different instruments hidden away in it's shelves. There is a floor to ceiling window that looks over the pool/outdoors area bellow.

#### The Office

The office is a bedroom refurnished into a office space where Annette and Fredrik can work from home. It is rarely used for that purpose and is mostly used as a gaming room for Johannes. There is a couch area where he has installed a TV and some consoles. Most of the household's books are stored there.

#### Guest rooms

There are three guest rooms in the house. The rooms are rather identical, and has light interior, big windows and a double bed. For the majority of the time the beds are made. At parties the guest rooms are frequently used.

#### Additional

There are two bathrooms upstairs, both with their own shower. The master bedroom is always looked when Annette and Fredrik are not home. It has a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom.

### Basement

The basement was at first only storage and a part of the garage, but it was later rebuilt to become Johannes' living quarters. There is a door that connects the hallway in the basement to the garage.

#### Johannes' room

Johannes' room is the only room in the house that is actually messy. Unlike the rest of the rooms in the house that are mostly white/light shades, Johannes has black curtains and bed sheets to make it more personal. It consists of his bed, a writing desk, a bookshelf, two couches, a mini fridge and a TV. There is a ensuite bathroom with a bathtub and waterfall shower.

#### The gym

The gym is located right next to Johannes' bedroom. It isn't as big as an actual gym, but has the necessary machines as well as enough floor space for other activities.

#### The storage

The storage room is where the family keeps what they can't fit other places in the house. It has many of Fredrik's paintings and many abandoned hobbies.

### Outside

Directly outside of the main room is the outdoors area. It consists of the pool, a winter garden with a sitting area and a TV, a grill area and multiple sitting spaces. There is also a Jacuzzi and an open, green garden.
