The Sirrus Residence - a WiP

[Sirrus]

Nestled deep inside a canyon in Colony Canyons, The Sirrus Residence is my current masterwork, with a definite 30+ hours logged in making this, in my opinion, my best work. feel free to give an x/10, along with constructive criticism.
And note: I know it's spammy.


The house rising from the depths of the canyon, about 140-150 feet if my calculations are correct


The residence was lit during exterior construction with the Sun, but was eventually changed to small exterior light fixtures for aesthetics and lag reduction



The main tower is 13 floors high, rising about 90' out of the craterous canyon


The observation deck adds a solid 30'-40' to the height of the residence



The complex is comprised of the main tower, four storage rooms on the back, two garages on the side, a training room extending off the fourth floor of the storage tower, and a training complex wrapping around underneath the training room around to the north side of the tower


The four vehicle lower garage consists of a go-kart, jeep, stunt buggy, and a moped with a separate exit.


A bi-plane is also parked above the four cars.


The four story training complex consists of a series of platforms and barriers where bots can be spawned to hone skills


The training room can have barriers placed to one's preferences and bots spawned for CQC training


A robust and abundant weapons room can be found on the fourth floor of the storage tower.


Moving inside the residence tower, a cozy first floor features a fireplace, couch, and a place to set your shoes.


Moving up to the second floor, a small kitchen awaits you.


Moving yourself, and the food, up, a robust dining room featuring seating for ten awaits.


After eating, a small and comfortable library awaits you.


My penthouse bedroom, featuring only a large bed and beautiful views, is located on the top floor.


And finally, the Pièce de résistance, a small observation deck offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, drawing flush with the canyon.

So that's it as of now. Tell me what you think.

You could use bigger bricks. The constant use of 1x1s and 1x1x5s kills it.

[Lord Tony]

not a bad idea but just looks really spammy

You could use bigger bricks. The constant use of 1x1s and 1x1x5s kills it.

1x1x5 was the main block used, 1x1s was only used because when I built the entire thing, I used macros where the entire thing was pre-built, meaning there was a double 36x36 between floors, and because I added the training rooms non-macro, it was easier to use 1x1s in the macro (one column, not the entire thing pre-fab) instead of measuring out 1x1x5s and and 1x1f to fill in the gaps.

Anyway, I know it is kind of spammy, and I might come back through on some of the floors I haven't furnitured and make the walls out of bigger bricks, It's just when I was building it, I've run into some problems before using bigger bricks, and It was just easier to use 1x1x5s, I really didn't foresee the problem of massive lag.

And once you get inside, it's not that bad.

Even if the bricks are used for macros, you could easily make a macro out of bigger bricks!

There's not much detail, and you could add more... shape to the tower. There's also a lot of space that could be filled in with some random and creative detail.

I know, it's more that if I did it with like 4x1x5s, there would be that one block of overhang that had to be filled with a 1x1x5, and when I'm doing a macro, since I have to stay put, it was just easier to do it with a 1x1x5

This took 30 hours? Um build quicker. And yes use bigger bricks.

[Sirrus]

It was probably less, that was just an approximation.

[Z9-C]

Very spamy, Try using less plates where you could use bricks, and less 1x1x5's.

I am addressing the spam issue, I'm in the process right now of re-walling the entire building.
I'm about 25% done right now, I've cut the brick count down from about 11,300 to 9,000

Edit: I'm like 90% done and I've cut it down from 11,300 to about 4,500-5,000
