Dracula’s Dining Room

Hand-Drafted Plans Inspired by Romania’s Castles

Challenge

Hand-draft a plan view, 2 sections, and 2 elevations inspired by the architecture and interiors from a period of your choosing.

Concept

Bran Castle was built in Transylvania around the 13th century and is one of several locations that have been linked to Dracula. Peles Castle is a Neo-Renaissance style castle built in Sinaia between 1873 and 1914 that features ornate architecture and decor. Pulling features from both of these castles, I reimagined the character of Dracula as a royal who lived a life of luxury and collected fine art and furnishings.
