Koesj's Building Woes: Dingbats!

[Darf 1,439]

Yeah, I wasn't too sure, but it looks exactly like that to me: like a newly-built asset in classic style. Still, very nicely done!

[Avanya 2,605]

Looks great! And well done with the entrance! Really shows how much can be done with a normal map

These are completely new buildings but still have an old fashion to them all while keeping it modern.

It's definitely a type of building that is lacking in the Workshop. Surprising if you consider that, even though it's American neo-Renaissance, they'd suit European cities just as well.

[Darf 1,439]

Definately not North European, you almost never find flat roof buildings here. Although, you do have a lot of Flemish/Dutch revival buildings being built at the moment, like in Zijdebalen, Utrecht.

I've been sitting at home with a nasty ear infection so I guess I've got a great excuse to mess around with a new asset idea for a bit... Dingbats! A couple of streamers have been showing off their fantastic Sunbelt cities, but I feel like there's a dearth of good low-rise apartment buildings available on the workshop. This should probably be a pack, and going off of some info I found floating around there's at least six or so basic types that IMO should be added to the game as soon as possible:

Regrettably I haven't used my assetbuilding skills at all for the last one and a half years, so it's been slow going since yesterday, but I've been prototyping some designs and zeroed in on one I like: a hipped-roof, two story, not very boxy box 

Let's wait and see what comes of this. I don't particularly care for the ornamental googie elements on the IRL designs, but this kind of bottom-tier high residential asset is exactly what C:S needs right now.

Long time no see! And that looks certainly promising.

I hope you get better soon!

[barcasam7 185]

Great to see you back and wishing you a speedy recovery. I couldn't agree more with you! Love the designs, these will fit perfectly in Sunbelt cities. 

[Koesj 659]

Thanks for the support people! I've been iterating on my layout and materials and I've come up with a stucco, wood paneling, and stone 7-unit complex. Still got tons of stuff to do:

Reminds me of ones I've seen in Santa Monica, LA. Looks fantastic. 

[Leeijo 314]

Nice! Really needed! 

[Matthias King 348]

Dingbats!

[Simulanten 681]

Looks perfect! Looking at it is tempting to make assets again. So far my Pine Motel and the Overlook Hotel are my only contributions... I have tons of ideas for Americana assets but only so little time...

[Koesj 659]

@Leeijo is picking this one up I think 

[Matthias King 348]

Are you not continuing? I was really looking forward to these.

[Koesj 659]

I've transferred the asset, there's still hope haha!

[Matthias King 348]

Oh, I see. I hope it gets finished.

[Leeijo 314]

Well, I was lucky enough to take that one over. It has been altered a bit though to match the others that will come in the same style:

[Matthias King 348]

YASSS!

[barcasam7 185]

Looks fantastic!
