On this 18th day of November, 2022, Dante, with a lottery number of 40, actually won a bid in the housing market of Lavender Beds?
After he proudly bought the default house permit in Lavender Beds and wanna call it a day, Vergil unsheathed his Yamato and did an Judgement Cut: Ultimate.
Nothing can stop him now.
Vergil went as far as stole a friend's bonfire.
The Namazu, for a brief period, was able to claim a spot.
The Pizza Stove (Red Brick Kitchen) was almost destroyed by the very motivated Vergil.
Nevertheless, The Red Grave Cafe & Studio completed its garden on Nov 20, 2022.
Two days after the home was initially claimed by Dante.
To contrast with the bonfire that represents Dante, inside we want to feature Vergil.
Progging with some custom counter and lighting.
It was still a bit too dark so we added Aquariums. And it made a huge difference.
With already about 100 slots already used, we decided to go minimalistic with the rest of the area.
And this main floor is definitely going to be Vergil's focus spot.
This is going to be the twin's main reception & office for the studio work.
What we do know is we want two things in this basement:
A space where we can hang out
Stairs, Desks, Chairs, Lofts, Okay.
However, we were not really sure about what's the best for our studio.
So we placed some random stuff in basement and decided to leave it like that for a bit.
The end is near. We need an office.
Without too many ideas of what an office for the twins should look like, we aim to focus on the reception area first. Floor plan wise it's also the thing closest to basement entrance.
And with a couple bookshelves, painting, stage panels, leather sofas... a lounge is setup.
Alright, not so bad. The white sofas contrast really well with the dark windows. Originally we planned on using this window look for the lounge only but... it ended up being used to cover up 70% of the walls.
And to enter the basement you must go through
Have not found any references that could lead us to decide what to do and we were hard stuck for one full day. From building a loft to making a bridge above an Eastern Pond... but nothing really quite fit in. It's an studio and it better has some sort of desk / office space...
To help us regain our motivation for a bit, we added some Queen's Rest & Windows combo.
Ending the night with these unfinished deck/indoor garden. The windows & plants layout is the only part we want to keep for this.
At one point we even have Ifrit yelling at us.
But he didn't stay for too long.
Okay, we really need AN OFFICE.
Let's leave the indoor garden from yesterday alone and stuck a desk somewhere.
DEAD CENTER.
And moving back to adding stuff around the garden...
Since we have used quite a bit of Crystarium Wardrobes upstaris already, let's repeat history.
And convert it... into an Aquarium for more motivation.
Adding a bit of light and coziness in the darkness.
We like that "Big Umbrella" look.
Have been avoiding them but can't complete the look without it.
Wasn't planning on using showcases, but their lighting effect and wooden trims works really well with the build's color scheme.
