Living Quarters

The living quarters are more spacious than the Year 2 living quarters, and the bed area is separated from the living space. Around the bed area are a cupboard and a side door (to the bathroom, as we discover in Force Of Life). In Force Of Life the married quarters are a slight variation, with double doors to the bed area. All other rooms have single beds.

In the main area are a Unibloc 4 Dining Unit, small desks and tables and various chairs. Pileo floor lamps are located at corners. There is also a communications post. In Breakaway Koenig's communications post is positioned slightly differently and has a "C" designation; in later episodes it is the normal position with the "LQ" designation. Helena's quarters has an "M" designation in Matter Of Life And Death and a mirror-image room design (also seen in Smitty's room in Black Sun); her quarters in Dragon's Domain are the standard design.

In the cupboards we normally see one or two spacesuits with helmets.

Koenig's quarters are seen in Breakaway, Guardian Of Piri, Missing Link (the Zennite version, without wall panels but with the same general design), Collision Course

Helena's quarters are seen in Matter Of Life And Death (mirror-image design) and Dragon's Domain

Other quarters seen include Paul Morrow (Black Sun), Kano (Black Sun), Sandra Benes (The Last Enemy), Smitty (Black Sun, mirror-image design), Melita's (Space Brain), Baxter (End Of Eternity), Cellini (Dragon's Domain), Zoref (Force Of Life)

Space Brain
Bed area with single bed, separated from the living area with a shelf unit. Note the bathroom door.

Force Of Life
Married quarters, seen only in Force Of Life, with double doors separating the sleeping area.

Breakaway Breakaway Breakaway
A good view of Koenig's quarters in Breakaway. The view is from where the door is positioned; normally the view is from where the windows are. The communications post is in an unsual position- normally it is closer to the door. Note it has the "C" designation; in later episodes Koenig's room has the standard "LQ" designation. Below: the same view as a high-definition panorama. Note the green apples and cheeses (Edam and Emmental, apparently).

Breakaway
Continuing the above pan; Koenig sits in an Elda 1005 chair. Beyond, the bed is just visible.
Guardian Of Piri
The contoured bed rarely has sheets.
Guardian Of Piri
A view from the windows. The front door is to the left. The cupboard unit in the sleeping area is just visible.
Missing Link Missing LinkMissing Link
Koenig's quarters in Missing Link give a good view of the layout and furniture of the room, without (most of) the wall panels. The front door is in the left picture (with Pileo floor lamps); the right picture shows the communications panel that has replaced the large screen seen in the Breakaway views above.
Guardian Of Piri
The front door.
End Of Eternity
This is the front door of Baxter's quarters. Note the kitchen unit to the side.
Black Sun
Paul Morrow's quarters. A view from the bed to the front door wall. The kitchen unit is visible again.
Space Brain
Melita's front door. There is a kitchen unit alongside.
Black Sun
These quarters are slightly different. The living area is to the right, but there is no door on the far wall. These quarters, and those of Helena in Matter Of Life And Death, are a mirror-image of the standard quarters.
Force Of Life
The yellow wall panel is a variation seen in Force Of Life and in Helena's quarters in Matter Of Life And Death and Dragon's Domain.
Matter Of Life And Death
Helena's quarters in Matter Of Life And Death.
Matter Of Life And Death
Helena's quarters. Note the design over the bed.
Matter Of Life And Death
A good view of the room divider that separates the sleeping area from the living room. The books are the 24 volumes of the revised 14th edition Encyclopaedia Britannica.
