The Many Houses of tlsorrel Empty The Many Houses of tlsorrel

Post by tlsorrel 7/15/2011, 2:50 pm

I thought I'd make a compilation of the houses I have built on this server during my time here. Let's start at the beginning:
#1. Mild Manors - Gosh
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-023
A simple little 2 story brick-and stone building with a basement. Full of signs to defend against potential griefers, as Gosh was full of them.
#2. Panora Manor
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-024
Perched on a mountaintop behind the grassland warp, Panora Manor is a three-story home complete with porch, lava wall, and too many furnaces to count.
#3. The Pillbox - Scottsdale
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-025
The Pillbox was my first experiment with colored wool. It was a direct influence on the founding of the city of Spectra. The juxtaposition of colors with grey was something I found appealing.
#4. Chestnut House - City of Ice
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-026
This two-story with attic was built with the preservation of the winter theme in mind. The first floor is dimly lit with glowstone place just high enough that the ice floor won't melt underneath. I also was aiming for the overall Christmas theme of the city with my coloring of the house.
#5. The Cat House - Old Jacobstown
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-027
Named for ChaosTheory's inexplicable tendency to place jukeboxes on my roof, the Cat House was my first project to feature multiple rooms on one floor, and also my first project to feature roofing that didn't simply follow the outer walls. Unfortunately, much of Old Jacobstown is currently being demolished, so getting to the Cat House is more difficult now than it used to be.
#6. The Mayor's Mansion - Spectra
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-028
The city of Spectra is my crowning achievement on the server. With this mansion, I aimed for the three primary colors of light:red, blue, and green. The interior walls of the first floor are a checkered black and white pattern, with the ceiling a surprising swirl of color that is invisible from the street, so visitors are pleasantly (I hope) shocked when they enter. The four-story house comes complete with Master Bedroom/Library, Grand Entrance Hall, Basement/Dance Floor, and Guest room with roof access.
#7. The Arch Estate
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-029
When I found this arch and told Sainteven about it, we decided to build a house together. The house seems to be a simple rustic cabin, but a hidden door leads up into the arch itself, where visitors can find a TV room; a library; a viewing deck; a natural pool that remains as we found it, complete with lava; a (very) small guest room; and two large master bedrooms. Credit to sirporkrind and JonChen for the redstone circuitry; thank you both for all your help, we could not have done this without you.
These have been my houses. I hope to expand my creativity further still with whatever I build in the future.

All good builds, but what I really like about this thread is the fact that you basically kept an archive of your houses. Not many people do that, I like that.

#8. House of Leaves - Sky Village
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-033
This two-level assymetrical house was fun until I got to the roof. I still think the roof looks off somehow. the inspiration came from my sudden realization that paintings stick to leaves.

I founded a new city today with Sumbo's help and Neil's inspiration and provision of an area. The Mushroom Kingdom! Where every house is a mushroom! So here's mine!

#1. The Cake House - New Spectra
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-053
This was my first house as an architect, and it marks the beginning of what I call my "Cylinder Phase."
#2. The Mushroom Stalk - Commander City
The Many Houses of tlsorrel 2011-054
My first skyscraper. Built using only redwood logs, glass, and glowstone. Contrary to popular belief, it will not blend.

To be honest, these are some of the most beautiful houses that i have EVER seen in Minecraft. When I scrolled through these pictures my mouth literally fell open. Literally. I had to have surgery afterward. Nah, I'm just kidding about the surgery, but my mouth did fall open. And I would like you to know that whenever you are building anything else, It would be an honor to let me help you, just give me a message anytime after the 4th of August and it would be my pleasure to lend a hand and help you with these builds.
