Views from across West Illford -Part 1

A selection of views from across the West Illford area of Passau. 

West Illford is dominated by large scale retail and social housing. Social housing in Persus is well-funded and well-maintained, the country has a strong ethos of quality and affordable home provision for social housing tenants. Unlike the United Kingdom the purchase of social housing by tenants, known as 'right to buy' is not permitted and that has allowed the supply and quality of housing to be controlled. 

West Illford also encompasses some private residential areas, mainly comprising semi-detached and detached housing that was built between the 1940's - 1970's. The area is also home to the new University of Passau Centre for Sporting Excellence, which will be shown at a later date ;) 

The M50 Motorway, an orbital route around Passau, also transects the area.

Images have been split into two updates :)

Worth being teased ! I like that you split the update, 'cause it allows us to linger more on details.

I spot at least one nifty relot (there are certainly more but It's one I think I recognize, Peg's marina covered boats in 10&23.) And I am wondering how you did the adjacent parking in 11 ! Hand-made ? The weathered texture of the stone is wonderful -- vortextures ?).

My What-Is-That of the day : pict 5, those commercial prefabs. And the small boat ramp in the country marina (10 ; another relot I'm afraid, sigh).  

Very nice choice of buildings overall as usual. I love the Diggis picts (2--20-22), I'll have to dive once more into those !:-) ; I also love  the sudden diagonal buildings (13-24), the pretty playground (9 ; ther the weird dry hay texture works well !:-), and and the nice homey surprise of the small allotments gardens (14).

Pict2-4-23-24 make me wonder once more : what would it take, batlotting-wise, to make curved sound barriers (or barriers of any sort) for at least the three main NAM curves (90°, 45° and bi-curvy zig-zaggy:-) . I know Paeng did it with his NAM curves filler ; of course they go on both side of the curve (making squares and rectangles), but I am not technically savvy, so I have no idea if it would be possible for other stuff -- not for both sides of Avenues and the like, I suppose, but ... one side at a time ? There are nicely and diversely curved wood fences (RRP) for instance. Anyone knows ?

Very nice! Love the cohesiveness of everything, especially #13...I applaud your custom lotting. I might have to steal your playground idea too...gotta love those Neko props.

Plus, I may see some lots I recognize. :ooh:

You did a great job with the relotting, it really gives those lots and the city a different feeling along with a good variety of unique building & lots.

Wow, impressive. I like the different BATs from different countries, it think they all work well together and it all does have a British feel to it. I also like the clever lot editing, it must have taken a while to do.

Love those diagonal and orthogal highrise appartment buildings in picture 2 and the last two pictures; do you now the name of these lots ?

Sincerely yours,

Excellent update! I really like the second picture as I mentioned in the teaser some days ago. I like how well planned it is.. and in some pictures it reminds me of America.. you know.. the malls.. big avenues... I don't know, I can't actually complain cause I really enjoyed it, and every pic is very well executed.. But you know, I always thought of Perseus as a traditional "british" journal, and in some pics that kind of fades away.

In overall though, I really like it! probably 2 or 3 pics are my meh sensation.. America!.. but I really like your updates, and I really like the whole atmosphere you bring to the table with Perseus.
