The Mado Tower is a modular, modern multipurpose mesh building. It is made of concrete, steel and glass and could be used as apartment building, hotel, police station or whatever else you can think of. It has a large footprint (41 × 41 m) and a high prim count but rezzes really fast and prides itself with low lag and rock solid LoD.
The Mado High-Rise is 100% mesh. It has been built with performance and versatility in mind: Thanks to the modular design, it uses a limited amount of textures and objects, which are combined to make up the square tower. This makes for fast rezzing and rendering. Every single object has handmade LoD models (they determine the way an objects looks at a distance or on low graphic settings), ensuring that the building will retain its shape at all times, under all circumstances. This comes at the cost of a relatively high land impact (prim count).
You decide on the height of your tower: It comes pre-packed in nine different variations, from "Lobby only" to "Lobby + 8 Floors". The lobby has the height of two floors, every floor is 4.6 meters in height, with 4 meters of actual space to use. On every floor, you will find four L-shaped rooms. Every room has two doors and four big windows. In the center of the building, there is a tower-within-the-tower, which is home to an elevator and a staircase. The pre-installed elevator is GenTek's Condor elevator. The doors in the building are custom-made; they have a very simple script but feature room numbers on them. If you want, you can replace them with a more sophisticated door system.
Apart from the Elevator system, everything is copy and modify. Feel free to take the building apart, replace bits and pieces or re-arrange them. For example, the default building has a big main entrance door. If you want, you could replace the big lobby windows on the other three sides with more entrance doors. Also, if the building turns out to sell okay-ish, I will create more modules that will enhance the possibilities of customizing the building further.
The textures on the walls feature baked-in shadows (ambient occlusion), the textures on the floor and ceiling are plain. The floor is wooden, the ceiling looks like indirect light panes. You can easily replace both of these textures with about any (seamless) texture you prefer. In other words, if you prefer carpet over wood, go ahead and change it. Since the building comes with copy permissions, you can always start from scratch if you feel like you've messed up.
The pictures show the floor plan of the upper floors, as well as the lobby-only setup of the building.
If you are curious about the land impact (LI, aka prim count), here is a full list of the pre-packed setups with their land impacts:
Lobby only: LI 312
Lobby + 1 floor: LI 429
Lobby + 2 floors: LI 549
Lobby + 3 floors: LI 663
Lobby + 4 floors: LI 780
Lobby + 5 floors: LI 897
Lobby + 6 floors: LI 1014
Lobby + 7 floors: LI 1131
Lobby + 8 floors: LI 1248

Excellent Customer Service & Build
I needed a demo of this building to ensure it would fit within the area I had chosen, within 12 hours Domsson got back to me with a version I could use to make sure it was what I was after, and it is!
Thanks again for your quick response and help. Love the building!
Great Build and Even Better Customer Service!
This is a top notch mesh building and I couldn't be happier with it. Great for RP! I asked him to mod this building and he quickly drew up plans to revise the build to suit my needs. He's friendly and his customer service cannot be beat. Just do yourself a favor and buy this build. You won't be disappointed.
