| Here is my firm's final submission for the redesign of
the old Second Chance Provisioners. This new design incorporates
parts of the old SCP, a new meeting chamber/auditorium, an office
for the mayor; as well as a residence, a stable, and various other sitting
gardens.
NOTE: The New Design for the
Roof, suggested by Mayor Minsk, Can be Found Below...
The Floor Layouts
Entry Points
The building's main areas can be accessed using
two systems, a standard staircase and by
teleporter (Winmere's idea).
The
Main Staircase |
The main staircase can be found outside the building, and leads up to
the second floor (mayor's office and auditorium). To gain entry
to the auditorium however, you need to take an additional staircase up
the the third floor. Also, there is another staircase to the roof.
|
The
Third Floor Teleporter |
The teleporter system figures in a teleporter, located inside the
Smithy Shoppe (seen just under the window) that provides easy access
directly to the auditorium (located below the plant). The teleporter
system works in conjunction with the Staircase System to
alleviate traffic build-up on the steps.
Town Hall Features
- Meeting Hall / Auditorium
Auditorium |
The auditorium spans two floors, using staircases to create
grandstand style seating. The Auditorium can be used as a meeting hall,
council meeting hall (note the chairs at the front for council members),
a theatre for plays and concerts, or as a general hall for speaking
events. The Auditorium can also be used in conjunction with the
Creative Arts Centre (see below).
- Entry Corridor and Message Board
The Entry Corridor is located on the second
floor and has a nice little sitting area. The Entry Corridor also has a
messageboard for leaving notes for the mayor and other officials.
Creative Arts Centre |
Ever since Marilla left town, Paxlair has been without any real place
to hold concerts, plays or artistic events. The Centre for the Creative
Arts works to fill that void by providing a wing on the second floor,
dedicated to the bardic arts. The area could be filled with a piano and
several other instruments. Furthermore, the creative arts wing could
also serve as an orchestra for any large plays.
The
Mayor's Office |
The Mayor's Office is located on the second floor, at the end of the
main hallway. It provides the Mayor, easy and exclusive access to the
Auditorium (and could also be used as a dressing room for plays, if
permitted). Furthermore, the Mayor's Office has a teleporter in its
upper-right most corner, which leads directly to the Mayor's
Residence (see below).
The
Mayor's Residence |
The Mayor's Residence is located on the roof of the Town Hall. It
measures 14 tiles widthwise, and about 8 tiles lengthwise. This area is
exclusively for the mayor, and both the front door and teleporter is
expected to be shut off from public entry.
The
Rooftop Fountain / Sitting Area |
- The Rooftop Fountain / Sitting
Area
The rooftop fountain and sitting area's design comes from an idea by
Winmere. A stone pillar adds a nice fountain, which is encircled by
rocks. As well, the roof could contain a bunch of tables for relaxation
or viewing the horizon around Paxlair.
The
Smithy / Tailor Shoppe |
- The Smithy / Tailor Shoppe
The Blacksmith/Tailor Shoppe is located on the main floor of the Town
Hall, and can be accessed through the front doors or through the stable
(see below). The Smithy shoppe is designed to resemble Thelorn
and Crimson Dragon's Second Chance Provisioners: an old
Blacksmith Shoppe in Paxlair, where live blacksmiths worked on your
order while you wait. The goal with this design is to provide such a
shoppe again, allow for vendors to sell goods, and serve as an area to
host events such as an enhancing night (suggestion by Zog). The
ultimate purpose of the Smithy Shoppe is to honour the original SCP
and continue its traditions.
The
Stable |
The Stable is located on the main floor, in the far west section of
the house. It has 4 stalls, and room for a few more. The stable will
serve as a short term housing for pets, while their owners are attending
a play/meeting in the auditorium above.
The
Band Garden |
"The Band" Garden finds itself situated on the second floor of the
hall, right outside the Mayor's Office. The purpose of the garden is to
provide visitors with much the same view of the Paxlair countryside that
patrons of the SCP had, while sitting on the old patio. It's
also a nice thank you to TB for founding such a great community, that
has persevered for over six years!!!
The Vault & Storage Closet is located under "The Band" Garden, and
contains the looping teleporter to the flower balconies (see the roof
and overview picture above). The Vault can be used to hold the
Paxlair treasury, or other items needed for setup in the hall (like
benches, decorations, etc).
The design for the Town Hall works in a number of smaller ideas, to
provide a multipurpose, multifunction establishment that will hopefully go
on serving Paxlair for years to come. Any decorations in the pictures
only serve as an example of what can be placed there, and is up to the
final decision of the Mayor and the owner of the Hall.
Enjoy!
