CelesAurivern Posted May 24, 2016 The Emporium consortium has further solified its hold as the dominant commercial force in Port Raleigh, this time by building the official headquarters of the trade house. Port Raleigh has very few tall buildings, the only other one being the Government House, and with its white facade, it became known as the Ivory Tower. Click here for interior view The building has three storeys, with the ground floor being the main lobby and administrative office. Here, a business associate is seen visiting. A hidden chamber lies behind the office... On the second floor is the sleeping quarters. On the third floor is the storage room. Some trade goods are temporarily housed here before distribution.

blackdeathgr Posted May 24, 2016 Yeap, a great solid build. I especially like your first photo. I find it magnificent as it surely emanates grandeur! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted May 24, 2016 This is a very beautifull build Celes! Very solid, sobre but still fancy. I am missing a MAESTRO and ETTC flag though :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted May 24, 2016 Nice build - the colour scheme is nice, and the simplistic architecture is very fitting for the setting. The interior is very nice too, and it is nice that you have included staircases. I will question the wisdom of having the store on the top floor, though. Seems like a lot of work to get the goods in and out! ;) I would suggest adding a little environment, perhaps a street or a small garden, around the build. My favourite part, though, is that you make Maxim speculate even more as to the different trade company names and structures of Corrington! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted May 24, 2016 Well, CelesAurivern is a MAESTRO member :p His own Consortium should be visible in his build as well... And I already figured the CelesAurivern ETTC is not the other (very rich) ETTC. But suriously, why making it so difficult for something not that special :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted May 24, 2016 The simple striping and dark green windows look great, plus the mix of reddish brown and dark red for the roof is quite pretty. Well furnished interior as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like a lot of work to get the goods in and out! ;) I would suggest adding a little environment, perhaps a street or a small garden, around the build. Ah yes, I had questioned that myself, but then justified it by saying valuable goods need to be stowed higher up to prevent easy access to might be raiders :P I planned for a street scene, but scrapped it due to lack of parts... Maybe when I build the neighbouring block I'll set up a street scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted May 24, 2016 Nice build! Sturdy and clean. I really like that you've made it modular, and its nickname adds some character to it and the settlement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted May 24, 2016 All part of a devious scheme to confuse the lords of Maestro ;) Then that's succeding quite well Very nice build CA! I especially like the interior, tiough Bregir's commend about shops on the top floor seems right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted May 24, 2016 Great build! I particularly like the roof on this build. Also the interior is well dove and I am glad you included staircases. The door fits a little odd but I'm sure that was just an issue with available arches. Other than that small point I really like this build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezclatipoca Posted May 24, 2016 Nice build simple and effective at the outside and with a good interior (even if I am worry about your house keeping, you left a skeleton behind the stairs !) Good job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted May 24, 2016 ... you left a skeleton behind the stairs !) If you look hard enough, doesn't everyone have a skeleton in their closet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) To the Directors of the Emporium This 19th day of July in the 616th year After Empire My friends, What a splendid addition to the skyline of our beloved Port Raleigh! Everytime I see its silhouette against the sky, by day or night, it gives me pleasure to know our little settlement is growing in both beauty and wealth. Keep up the good work.
