Build a Skyscraper

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

The idea is for each post, you create a floor in a skyscraper, and design it any way you want.

Aside from the normal forum game rules, the only rule is that you can't add a floor that's a roof or otherwise would prevent additions to the skyscraper. Also, remember to number the floor.

Nov 5th, 2010 edit: Adding a new basement floor is also allowed, as is adding to one of the most recent floors.

To start

Ground floor:

An ordinary lobby area, as well as a snack bar.

[nathanthemayor 1,262]

Floor 2

Storage as well as a conference room

[Slashback 136]

^ Is actually named 1st floor, so I'll start from 2nd floor.

2nd floor:

A swimming pool, bathrooms and a cafe.

[joshriddle 29]

Hmm, a lobby, a library, perhaps even a small cafe.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

^ Remember to number the floor

4th floor:

Paintball tournament room.

[astronelson 339]

5th floor: Perfumery,

Stationery and Leather Goods,

Wigs and Haberdashery,

Kitchenware and Food.

Going up!

[Duke87 1,070]

Ozzi, you're messing us up. The ground floor is the first floor.

7th floor: day care center

[Slashback 136]

Well Duke, the fact that British-English and American-English are different, is what's messing us up

Displacement from ground level	British convention	American convention
3 story heights above ground	"3rd floor"	"4th floor"
2 story heights above ground	"2nd floor"	"3rd floor"
1 story height above ground	"1st floor"	"2nd floor"
at ground level	"Ground floor"	"Ground floor" or "1st floor"

...and the Wikipedia article: Link

 

I don't want to mess it up, so I'll just go on from 7th floor.

8th floor:

Medical clinic and dentist.

[joshriddle 29]

9th floor

Hotel rooms.

[astronelson 339]

I'd have to agree with Ozzi on this one, but since this website is based in Canada we shall use their convention. Just be glad this isn't the Myer Centre in Brisbane - the floors are S, T, A, E, Q, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Named for Sizzler (no longer present), Target, Albert Street, Elizabeth Street, Queen Street, the four floors above Queen Street. Yes, there is street level entrance for three different floors. It's that hilly.

10th storey: Management,

Security and Maintenance.

Office hours 9-5,

Sundays 9-4.

Going up!

I stayed at a 24 floor luxury resort in Toronto for one night a week ago and it went M, 2, 3, 4 etc. In this case M is for Main/Lobby, the only time G is used is when the main floor is not the ground floor (very frequent here because of the hills).

I'll just go with 11th floor.

Indoor mini shopping mall with over 20 boutiques and tiny luxury tourist traps. (Just said the first thing that came to me )

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

12th floor:

Storage space full of boxes and barrels.
