    1) widget68
    2) Drake Tower
    3) The town of Scarletdawn is broken into 4 districts that represent 4 continental areas. They include, Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. The housing in each area is to fit the theme of those areas. In each district there is to be a great construction. In North America, I chose to build a skyscraper. The architectural ideas that I pulled from include Grand Central Station in New York, The Chrysler Building in New York as well as the US Bank Building in Los Angeles.

    The skyscraper consists of 10 floors with a roof top and a basement. The first floor is the lobby and is the most completed floor of the building. It consists of a large chandelier that is centered in the lobby over the information desk. Behind the counter is the lift to take you to the 2nd floor and onward all the way to the roof. There is plenty of casual seating, so stop by and stay a while. The ideas of the floors is to have something different all the way to the top. On the roof will be a restaurant. The other floors will contain shops, library, some hotel rooms, and whatever else I can think of. The basement will be a boiler room that will have a water drain that leads to the ravine that is towards the back side of the structure.

    This structure is still a work in progress. There is a lot of interior design work to do. To date, I have spent about 2 weeks on this construction.

    It is clearly visible from the live map. Scarletdawn is almost directly to the left of the Spawn Castle. It is the left most structure in Scarletdawn.

    6) Coordinates: X: -1996 Z: -2524 ... /t spawn Scarletdawn, take the road between Asia and North America, take a left at the 2nd road (Vancouver Way) and follow it all the way to the skyscraper (can't miss it).
    7) The materials used include Smooth Stone, Stone Bricks, Glass Blocks, Glass Panes, Fences, Wool, Iron Blocks, Signs, and and all sorts of stuff for decoration. The number of blocks probably exceeds several thousand.

    I've been watching this grow ... and actually, I think it's worth including a screenie from the Live Map - really, you don't get the full impression of the outside from in-game, and you miss some of the nice architectural details. It's really nicely designed & built, imo!
    [​IMG]

    I was hoping that it would grow higher - to me it looks like it's just waiting to grow taller & narrower - but I'm guessing it's pretty close to max available height already?

    I believe that I am 5 blocks from max height. It would be enough for 1 more floor or that roof top restaurant.

    I can see that the interior looks like it was put some effort into but I think it would be nice to see more of a creative design on the outside instead of just stone bricks and glass. I would like to also see a bigger building, as this is the Great Constructions. But none the less, is very appealing.

    Good work

    Below are some updated screen shots. Should they be added as a Reply or replaced in the orinal post?

    Outside - Added about 9 stacks of red wool to the edges to highlight some of the features. Red wool was used inside previously as the red carpeting to the information counter. Added small flower beds inside the path towards the doors. Also added potted plants to the corners of the building as well as lined the building with yellow flowers. Changed the old torch lighting to glowstone lighting near the road.

    [​IMG]

    Inside - Replaced the 4 torches with glowstone. Also added more potted plants to the corners near the seating areas to "liven" up those spaces.

    Lobby Seating - with potted plants added.

    Might want to replace the screenshots on the front with the newest, and put in a link to your imageshack, or whatever forum account, so we can look back at earlier progress.

    Please remember to provide constructive criticism when posting in this sub-forum. Simply posting "Looks pretty nice" isn't helpful at all.
