Marzipan Tearoom in Haven, Sterling Grove.

Even if Art Direction might lead you to a certain era...it is that eras buildings and how they interact with everything that still exists from before that era, that really counts.

This is what we were building up to. A Victorian Iron and Glass roof. With a main dome with an interior platform and two separate socializing and lounging spaces.


We wanted to create a feeling of time and place but still be fanciful and make the existing structure feel even more solid and rooted into its foundation.

The original Roof was utilitarian and didn't add to the roof line or plus up the over all feeling of time and place. It kept the virtual rain out.... :)

I built the peacock to use one Nurb, and one texture, and thus one primative in Second Life.

Here you can see Hap and the Peacock that is everpresent in Victorian and Art Nouveau design.






Here is a detail of the final ramp from the minor public dome to the main Peacock stained glass dome.



There were many iterations, as well as consultations and approvals, all accompanied by production of scale models, mockups, and reference.
