The idea:
The skyscraper is based on a picture from my memory. The pictures was about an old wooden small Scandinavian
church (this one comes the closest regarding my memory). The surrounding is roughly based on the starting
lighthouse of the first Bioshock.
I didn't want to build an empty shell so I made an exterior and a interior.

Interior:
The interior of the Skyscraper is a bit based on a old project of mine. Let two different types of usage of the building in one, but so you 'barely' notice it. At the entrance floor you can go three ways.
1: To the cellar, also a way to the little harbor. Also the main storage and the prison of the island.
2: 'Market' and inn, this is for the entertainment and stuff buying. For this usage you have to use ladders.
It is an optional place to go. These are placed on the floors where lesser space is due to the space using of the 3th option.
3: Private/living. Wide stairs to go up. First you will encounter the 'Congress' place with a large table and other official stuff. Behind the adminsistration the housevesting start. Reconigesable by the birch slaps as floor. It starts with the dining/bathing quarters before going up, with ladders, to the sleeping quarters. And finally on top the treasure room and two hatches to the outlook point.
Download & experience yourself, since these words are a bit rambling.

Exterior:
The starting lighthouse in Bioshock stands fierce in the middle of the ocean. So does this skyscraper but than with a small island.
While planting trees I tried for the first time acacia and well I like them. Still I use the oak trees on the cliff side of the island. That is also a two splitting thing of the build but than with trees.
I didn't make a lot of windows because the skyscrape should catch a lot of wind. I used fences for the windows so the wind can blow through and preventing the wood from rotting at the window places.
Also I used jungle wood for the harbor through the durability in harsh conditions like the sea.

Other:
The building materials were brought from several places in the mainlands.

Additional Notes

forced anti-aliasing x16 on high quality same for anisotropic filter.
Mipmap detail on high quality.
Note: It kills my framerate so my pc isn't that good.
