Big House

The Big House is a residential lot on Wanmami Island in which the Tiani family live. Despite the family's tribal roots, there are parts of this house that show signs of castaway luxuries. One example is of a rusted metal stove that, although they have no electricity to power it, has been placed in the already cramped kitchen.

Outside
The walls surrounding the house on the first story are made of a striking combination of thin, alternating vertical and horizontal bamboo framed by thick, dark brown lumber. The second-story walls, however, are made of woven grass that has been dyed as they are still green. In even intervals down the side of the wall are bamboo struts of a slightly thicker diameter than of those used on the first floor walls. At the foot is yellowed woven grass which is reflected by free-hanging woven grass spanning a fifth of the wall tops. This top grass is much the same as the grass seen hanging from the porch sides. Atop the house is a hipped roof made of wood and tiers of light brown grass thatching which are supported by what seems to be even more lumber underneath.

First Floor
The flanking red paint on the walls of the dimly lit, L-shaped main room can be seen from outside through the open door and three front-facing windows. The engraving of a lizard can be seen in intervals along the walls. A large, dark hand-tied rug lays in front of the doorway, it's length leading the eye into the room. Covering the floor are ornate wooden strips. Narrow pieces that look much like bamboo from afar are placed in straight lines in intervals across the room. Upon closer inspection they are slightly seperate from the rest of the floor, a potential hazard for any sim walking around at night.

Continuing inwards from the dining area, the kitchen holds the family's storage basket on the left side as well as rusty metal stove that was probably taken from Division Six. Along the back wall are green and yellow counters made of bamboo and tightly woven grass. In an additional counter to the left ther is a stone sink basin. Sticking out of the wall above the sink is a bamboo faucet that provides running water. Right next to this makeshift sink is a small wooden trashcan of tribal make with a gaping face for the receptical. At the base of this trashcan is a small wooden pedall used to open the trashcan lid without touching it. Above the can is a small rectangular window made of bamboo. Also along that side wall is a potted plant and a makeshift high chair.

On the left of the stairway on the back wall is the first covered door seen on the lot. Beyond the bamboo and woven grass is a fairly roomy bathroom.
