Vanilla Asset Review – Cities: Skylines

1) Name this asset:  Waldorf school of alternative teaching

2) Rating (number between 0 and 10):

• Architecture & Proportions: 7
• Colour (with vanilla colour variations): 7
• Colour (improved textures/colour variations): 7
• Illumination: 7
• Model & Texture Quality: 7
• Decoration (props & trees): 2
• Overall Rating: 7

3) Stat Classification (you can specify one or multiple values):

• Zone Type (RCIO): School
• Wealth Level ($, $$, $$$): -
• Density ([1 rural] – [10 megacity]): 2-3
• Household & Workplace Count: -
• Ideal lot size (with garden/parking, 1x1 – 16x8): 3x6 add a little playgound behind the building

4) Style Classification (you can specify one or multiple values):

• Commonness ([1 rare, unique] – [10 widespread, large accumulations]): 6
• Construction date (1800 – 2100): 1998-2006
• Continent or Region: northern european or the northern states of the US, especially scandinavia, germany, netherlands
• Architecture Style (if known): International style, I would say with postmodern influences

5) Suggestions for improvement: Make this building a small school, it fits perfect. It looks a lot like typical late 90s early 00s schools in temperate climate zones. I would replace the garage door with either a window or maybe some kind of "schoolproject" graffiti

4) Style Classification (you can specify one or multiple values):

• Construction date (1800 – 2100): -
• Continent or Region: Northern Europe for sure and USA
• Architecture Style (if known): Contemporary modern (for once a style I actually know! :P)

5) Suggestions for improvement:

The wood could really be darker (mahogany-ish) or could be swapped to stone. This is a very good example of a modern mansion - all it needs is a bit more garden. But not a huge one (unless it's for the very very rich :P)

Hehe, I can see why you think school, but I'd say it's too small. The large windows would be where students gather for announcements or in breaks, so we're really missing class rooms.  

The wooden part could be divided into classrooms, there are 2 levels, so 6 classrooms. The glass parts above the garage could be divided into 2 classrooms aswell. 8 classrooms is fine for an average sized primary school, thats 2 classes for each year, at least for germany, dunno if primary school systems differ that much .

5) Suggestions for improvement:

These are quite common in my area actually but mostly used as resort/holiday homes. You're right the woode walls are too bright, dark wood colors is more suitable for this type of style. I think if the normal walls were just variations of white it might work with the default bright wooden wall. Basically these types of houses have very little color palate it's always white walls, gray roof,  concrete floors & some wooden facade with huge windows. some examples from google

Oh and probably add some tall trees & some fencing as well.
