Been working on this one for a little while off and on. As you can see, it's still quite the work in progress, and just pencil on paper at the moment.
1. Commanding Officer and Backup Displays (picture Defiant-Style flanking displays) 2. Conn 3. Ops 4. Emergency Egress Hatch to Deck 2 5. Main Viewer 6. EVA Airlock 7. EVA Prep and Equipment Storage 8. Officer's Head 9. Jeffries Tube Access 10. Conference Lounge 11. Storage Locker 12. Ready Room 13. Engineering 14. Aux. Systems 15. Master Systems and Status Display 16. Mission Ops 17. Science 18. Tactical 19. Communications 20. Turbolift
This is probably a slightly older design. Pre-TNG.
I'd make the EVA locker something else (backup battery power supply for example or mabye a small two-person transporter room like the unit on Runabouts). After all, how much EVA do the bridhe personell really need to do?

You never know when Borg may infiltrate your ship, set up shop in Main Engineering, start converting your deflector dish into a beacon for more Borg, and you're stuck on the Bridge and need to get outside now to stop them.
That's a really neat design, Aban.

Sorry, I meant to mention that... the dark stripe around the outside edges and in front of the step is just carpet detailing. There's one shallow step down between the CO's chair level and the forward stations.
There are three steps down (though it should probably only be 2) as you exit aft to the conference lounge, head, and ready room. Then you step down again when you eneter any of those rooms. All the aft stuff is on a sunken level of deck one.

I think I'd swap the communications and tactical stations, just to make it look a little like the refit 1701 bridge.

Very nice Aban, people like you should work on the next (if there ever is) Trek!
Is that the shape of the Steamrunner bridge - I can't quite remember.
I like the way you have the ready room and obs lounge off the same 'corridor'. So the Jefferies Tube is the only OTHER way off the bridge? No ramp/steps?

The Steamrunner model was so sparse in details, I'm sure I'm taking liberties. But they can have different modules, I suppose. IIRC, though, this is the general shape on the model, minus the bubble on the side for the turbolift.
The floor hatch forward of the Conn/Ops station would serve as another way off the bridge in the event the lift broke down., but yah... I had kind of thought about putting a staircase along the aft wall of the observation lounge. It looks like a rather large room right now.

Really nice work. If you are doing this just in pencil...
You're right, the turbolift isn't fitting into the shape of outer hull, but if you don't care, it doesn't metter then.
I think tactical officer should have the view on the main viewer too.
May be the railing behind CO's chair is too wide.
If there is access to Jeffries tube, why there is another emergency hatch on the floor?
Visitors in ready room don't use chairs? They sit right on coach?

I love the turbolift there- it makes the bridge unique. Mabye the access hatch is an emergency conn station with viewscreen- now there's something a starship could use.

What about putting a bathroom off the Captain's Ready Room? Would seem like a perk for the captain instead of hiking across the bridge.
