Gen2 Loft House Series: Loft House Cottage
Gen2 (2nd generation) Loft Houses are custom-made mesh houses built around the concept of open space. The goals are not only to be low in Land Impact and foot-print, but also completely Old World Medieval in style design, while fitting to SL usage. To accomplish this, each house uses floor plans of 1 or more Lofts, thus keeping them open from ground floor up to the very peak of roofs.
Each house uses an open post and beam framing (fachwerk), and purlin roof style (pfettendach) of northern Saxon (Germany) styling. Framing and roof structure is complex and architecturally true to Medieval Zimmermann’s (carpenter) Guild standards. Each of these houses could be built IRL, and last. So realism is taken to a higher level.
Building materials of these house are classically middle class with wood planking, slate roofing, stone foundations, plaster walls, and tile being used only on ovens. All windows come with operating curtains of heavy beige wool. Each house comes inclusive fireplaces. (See individual description for details.)
Loft House Cottage is the smallest of the 4 in the series. It is intent for small plots or role-players who would rather be out and about, but still need a home on Sim.
• Land Impact is 41 Prims and foot print is 12.8x 10.2 meters.
• It has a single loft that is accessed via a folding stairs. (The stairs folds upwards allowing for more ground floor space.)
• Corner Fireplace is a combination base oven and open fireplace with two seats on the base oven part. Each seat has 11 sitting animations.
• Doors, curtains and stairs are Kool Door Builder Edition scripted and can be updated with the full version from Kool Doors.
• Loft Cottage uses a lighter frame wood planking on gable instead of fachwerk to increase its peasant class look.
Properties:
• Each building is custom-made Mesh and fully shadow mapped.
• While buildings and items are set “Modify” due to the nature of custom mesh and scripting this is limited. Unlinking or resizing will/may cause damage to scripts and increase Land Impact.

Buildings can be seen in-world at the Priory of Roses Land Store Halo-Vendor, or in usage at the city of Tharna.
