Rustic Skyscraper

A fantastic, whimsical oxymoron.

In this build, I wanted to create an uncertainty and tension by using small cantilevers, held up by reasonable corbels, that would, individually, be a realistically sound structure, but that pile up in a way that creates a dramatic dissonance between structural feasibility and impossibility.

I built this tower in about 3 weeks on the Iciclecraft survival/economy/MCMMO server. It contains 29 floors: sub-sub-basement, sub-basement, basement, 1-26 (but 13 doesn't exist, which is standard American floor numbering convention), and 26 Mezzanine. There are entrances on floors 1 and sub-sub-basement. It nearly reaches height limit, around level 240. I don't have an exact room count, but it would make a good hotel.
