Short Description:

Its been a while since I've vested time and interest in large builds, particularly in the classical style. My recent constructs emphasized minimalism and traditionally structured houses that promise functionality while maintaining its default integrity. This build however, swerves away from such an ideal with a sustained love for the nuances, crannies, bumps and niches embracing the overall appeal around all four cardinals.
The central dome feature should be a familiar sight to those who have classical architecture impressed upon the memory. While the rest are somewhat ironic and different. Four transepts perpendicularly arranged are not the usual signature of this style of building, nor the absence of a southern nave; but originality prevailed!
The build also includes a massive interconnected catacomb system meticulously crafted with complex twists and turns, visible and hidden chests (50+ collectively), carefully placed lighting, mystery, books, selective entities, tiered gardens, geometry, two chapels, a court/counsel room, library, alchemical retreat, panoramic vantage points, two big villages in close proximity, and an encompassing survival world without parameters. Essentially a place of refuge, defense, regrouping, residence and study when the hero's journey beckons adventure and purpose.
