Dearest Diary: Day 17: Landscaping

OMG..... we just finished our new landscaping area on the ArchiTech Marketplace sim. We have used a dome like the home dome and are delighted with how it has allowed us to layout our various landscaping products and components more accessibly for our customers.

Eventually we will review all our sales areas in a more customer friendly way as initially the priority was to get our business up and running.

As you can see below Toby and I are sitting and relaxing after a hard days work making the final changes.

We have made the landing area the centre of the dome and there are five different areas which we have called Walls, Hedgerows, Gardens, Planting and (hopefully when it is finished) Fencing.

Each area contains the items from its main theme plus a number of arbors, seats and gates.

We think we have been very cunning as you will have to walk all around to be sure of not missing anything. Luckily there are plenty of places to stop and maybe take a rest or even have a swing!

This is the wall section.

Here is the Hedgerow section, the entrance is framed by our ever popular 'Dead Tree with Bird'.

These stock gardens are ideal for those who dont have the time or inclination to create their own garden and are extremely popular with cottage dwellers.

Toby has now reduced them to a phenomenal 24 prims.

Two of the dividing sections show you how our arbors can be duplicated to create a shady walkway.............. or a wedding aisle!

This Wooden Arbor with Ivy is only 3 prims per unit, making this aisle of 5 a tiny 15 prims.

The decorative Rose Arbor is 9 prims making a run of 5 only 45 prims.

We have also used Toby's new tree screens to divide the dome into sections. This is the Koyoma Spruce and is available in 20m (8 trees) and 30m (12 tree) lenghts and each screen is only 1 prim.
