Now, as some of you know, I am considering hiring a builder to build a store for Imperial Elegance. Well, I took a fly around the various Azure commercial sims, to see if any prefabs catch my eye - before I commit to hiring someone. I visited all kinds of places, but somehow ended back up at Barnesworth. I had the sudden brainstorm: Why can't I use a prefabricated home? I don't need to have an actual "store", right? So, I toured around, looking at his various prefabs.... and stopped when I seen this one.
I was suddenly hit with an idea to make this work. I think this building really fits the image I wanted to go for: elegant, inviting, with beautiful, complimenting colors. It looked giant when I bought it, but when I got it on the land, I came to realize - it was considerably smaller than my current store. As of now, all my poses will fit - but as IE grows, I have no clue how I would fit more in. but still, I think things will work out somehow.
Also - this is two stories. In my land covenant, it forbids 2 story buildings. However, as I flew around Glenn, and all the surrounding sims, I seen tons and tons of 2 story buildings. So, being the rebel that I am - will follow suit and join everyone else.
And I've talked about this before, but I believe I will be rotating the entire store to face the Nicole sim, which is entirely empty, aside from a few linden trees. The current land across from IE is up for sale, and I don't really think I want to see what kind of monstrosity will be popping up once its sold.

Looks good Sai.
Hmmmm... more partitions? Low walls of the balcony railing coming out from the wall at 90 degree angles with poses hanging above them? More airy than solid walls. The partitions and/or walls could have a column at the end to tie in with the building design. Hope this makes sense :)

since it's smaller maybe you could have some trees or something. :) it's a nice building, Barnes makes the best prefabs in SL.
