About a week ago, the primary server that I play on held a contest could create the best-looking Chrysler Building. In the end, my version, as seen here, was decided the winner. The contest was only judged based on exterior appearance, but I have since decided to try to work on my interior decorating/design by flushing out the entire interior of the build.
The tower stands 245 blocks above the ground and has a square base with dimensions 47x47. My current plan has the interior coming in at 48 floors, with the possibility of an additional 1-2 below ground for plumbing/machinery to give the building a more realistic feel. The above-ground floors will include a combination of offices, meeting rooms, shops, living space (on higher levels), design studios, and any other fun ideas that come up along the way. These above-ground floors each have 3 blocks of head room, with the exception of the bottom 2 levels, which will be taller. Since I know that no one will want to walk up 48 flights of stairs to explore all of the detail which I hope to include inside, I have implemented two elevator shafts, each with a ladder and a minecart elevator system, to enable faster vertical travel. Misa's Realistic texture pack is being used for its construction, although I have found that the exterior translates very well between most packs (I've tried it on 5 packs now, including default, and it looks quite good on all).
Since the building will have so many floors, I am open to suggestions on the exact content of floors. If you have an idea, and would like to see a floor designed around that idea, please let me know in the comment section using the following format:
Company Name (If applicable):
What business is the company engaged in (ex. Medieval building, Cobblestone production, etc.; If applicable):
Floor Type (ex. offices, residential, design studio, etc.):
Key Features Relevant to the Floor:
Additional Information:
Upon completing the build, I hope to create a showcase video on my youtube channel, and then open it up for download so that others may enjoy it should they choose to!
If you have any questions about the build, please do not hesitate to let me know - I will do my best to answer any and all questions that I receive.
