Briarcliff Asylum

Over the course of, I'd say about 3 days, I tried my best to recreate American Horror Story's Briarcliff Manor Asylum from season two. Of course, I had to take quite a few creative liberties when building most of the rooms, since I didn't have much to go in terms of reference pictures. However, I think it came out pretty good, and I'm pretty proud of it. Let me know what you think! The lot is also up in the gallery for download so you can check it out for yourselves, ID ByondTime89 Here comes the picture spam, sorry in advanced, but Enjoy! ^_^
In total, the manor has about 17 bedrooms, 4 community bathrooms for the patients, 4 staff bathrooms attached to their bedrooms, a massive common room, a large kitchen with a dining area and 4 offices for the important staff members. I've kept the middle areas relatively blank so that you'd have room to add more things or rooms should you choose to do so. If you alter my build I'd LOVE to see what you've done~ So do let me know!
Anyway, on with the spam!
The Front is pretty close to pictures I found of it:
From the second floor looking down at the Mother Theresa statue (kinda, haha):
Security Office:
Don't touch the record player, in the common room, you'll get punished!:
Kitchen prep area:
Dining room with separate tables for patients and staff:
Bloodyface- I mean Dr. Thredson, the psychiatrist's, office:
Dr. Ardon's Office, complete with dissection table
:
Sister Jude's Office, with her cabinet of assorted whips! >_< :
And now the creative liberties really take over with the bedrooms:
Dr. Arthur Ardon's room. Plants all over because he was doing gene splicing experiments on them, and I got the impression that he just liked gardening:
Guest/Dr. Thredson's room at the asylum. I know he had a house but this was for his stay at the manor:
Sister Mary Eunice's Room. I chose reds and blacks because (spoiler) She was pretty much possessed throughout the whole series, so I found the colors kinda fitting:
Sister Jude's Room. I chose a mostly soft, white, palette because, although she wasn't without her sins and flaws, I felt that she stayed true to her faith in the face of evil.
And on the third floor is the patient's ward with: 5 Female rooms
5 Male rooms:
And 2 rooms for holding that perhaps might've been used for exorcisms at one point. Or even punishment, so again I used red:
Sorry for the picture spam! But I hope you liked it! ^_^ Let me know what you thought~

Thanks so much! I'm glad you think so! That's really what I was hoping for! Especially since, when I first got the idea for the build and then started looking for references, there was pretty much nothing to go by. So I thought I was getting in way over my head! But as I was going through the manor, room by room, I just tried to envision what I remembered it felt like both for myself (seeing it) and for the characters. There's a lot more I wanted to add, especially for Dr. Ardon, with that secret tunnel where he transported the bodies to the woods to be eaten, but sadly no basements
Thank you very much! I love your detailed response and I'm glad you liked it! I hope I did the eerie and horrifying place enough justice! I know some of the bedrooms for the staff are little more extravagant looking then I remember them to be, but at one point I kinda just went off of my impression of the character and I thought each room might represent them, rather than what the bedroom actually looked like. Otherwise I'd have a manor full of sparse and dark rooms! XD
Could be a great manor for those doing the Asylum challenge too~
Asylum is my fav series (so far) of AMH. You've done a great job creating Briarcliff.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
This is really scary !
> Very creative! Your version of Briarcliff is so true to the original it's scary!
Agree!
That's what I was going for!
