The +ground floor of the front range has shops -- a large bakery that shares +the house's kitchens, a shop of scribing supplies, and an importer (a +front for House Mercere). The "ground" floor is actually slightly raised +to keep it from flooding and there is a vaulted storage area underneath, +about half underground, which floods during the winter. + +The rear range has the kitchens, sculleries, and so on on the ground floor. +The town end of the first floor has a two-storey hall barely large enough to +be a hermetic labratory lit by south facing windows over the courtyard and +skylights in the roof. The rest of the volume in both ranges is used for +sleeping rooms, and the three senior magi each have rooms on the south side +for the best lighting when reading. + +The courtyard is about as deep again as the building, and has street access +via an alleyway that is barely wide enough to drive a wagon down. + +About two dozen of the covenfolk live here as well as the magi. -- 2.30.2
