[Challenge 4][Cat A] Rosenhaus

[VK-318]

AG_Rosenhaus_01

Located in a clearing in the Orinshi jungles, few people know of the existence of this building.

AG_Rosenhaus_02

Built in the shape of a cross or a T, the owner of the property is listed in documents only as, "K."

AG_Rosenhaus_03

It is large enough to house an entire military base, but appears from the outside to be a civilian residence - a mansion of tremendous size.

The architects were sourced from the Milky Way, as Kawashita architects have little experience with rotundas and other such distinctly Western architectural styles.

AG_Rosenhaus_05

There is, in fact, a front door, a very large one indeed on the ground level of the rotunda. However, at present it merely leads out onto grass - there is not another building or a road for hundreds of miles in any direction.

AG_Rosenhaus_06

The building, listed in legal documents as "Rosenhaus," appears to be undefended - there are even trees and a fountain under the crystal dome that tops off the rotunda. The two layers of the rotunda below are composed mostly of balconies, including an open-air dining room and a running track that circles the rotunda on the third level.

Orbital imagery suggests that there may be military hardware concealed under the irregular surface of the larger dome.

AG_Rosenhaus_08

The east wing of the mansion has a roof garden, which is in fact more like a grove of trees, around a square with a fountain.

AG_Rosenhaus_09

On the other side, the west wing of the Rosenhaus boasts an outdoor pool.

The north wing is more mysterious. It is by far the largest portion of Rosenhaus, but is fitted with only one row of large windows. Orbital analysis indicates that the northern wall conceals a massive door, but it has never been seen to open. Whether some weapon or vehicle is contained within, or whether this is merely some sort of gigantic warehouse, is unknown.

AG_Rosenhaus_11

The roof is used as a landing pad for ship identified as the Variga, suggesting that "K" stands for Kramer. A large elevator provides passage from the roof directly into the north wing, or there is a main entrance on the north side of the rotunda.

AG_Rosenhaus_12

Efforts have been made by multiple parties to infiltrate or break into the Rosenhaus, so far without success. The difficulties involved are compounded by the use of a highly automated staff, making the use of a mole essentially impossible.

Wow! That looks great! My favorite part is the landing pad.

There are some wonderful techniques here, I am especially liking the rotunda and colonnade section.

Superb use of the large power miners wheel The idea of an undercover military base disguised as a mansion is pretty neat too.The tan stripes add some nice color contrast

[StarHawk3]

The build reminds me of the Capital building but way cooler! The landing pad on the back of the Rosenhaus is my favorite part.
