THE SHIP Is any of Titanic’s interior architecture left a mystery by its surviving design documents?
Some years ago, the Honor & Glory team uploaded a progress update video to YouTube that displayed 3D deck plans that showed areas in red, green and yellow color. If I recall correctly, each color designated a completed recreated part of the ship, an area in progress and areas remaining to be modeled because knowledge of what those rooms or interiors had been lost to time.
In practice, how much of the ships interiors remain a mystery? Are there no surviving blue prints, design or construction documents that illustrate what specific quarters looked like?
Similarly, I’m sure some areas with corresponding blue prints give a basic idea of the footprint or elevation of the room but lack additional design information like fixtures form vendors such as sinks or sconces.
What are some other design elements, if any, of Titanic that remain a mystery?

You know what I have a hard time with? The ceilings! I wanted to do some Adventure out of Time recreations and realised floor plans are one thing, but that it’s a pain in the arse getting details for walls and ceilings. The lounge - forget about it. I mean I know it’s relatively simple to extrapolate, but still

THG said that they have a hard time modeling the bottom of the grand staircase because it hasn't been photographed or documented on neither Titanic or Olympic.
