Welcome to Gaia! ::

General Layout: (If anyone out there has a photobucket and is willing to sketch some settings, I'd greatly appreciate it. wink )

The entire building is modern, but not quite futuristic looking. It is characterised by simple design, fresh crisp colors, and clean lines. There are two towers that reach 15 stories high connected at the base by the lobby. To the right of the main lobby is the hotel tower, and to the left is the apartment tower. Behind the lobby is a club where residents and guests alike go to eat, drink, mingle and have fun.

Tower layouts:
The first ten stories of each tower are normal rooms. A living room when you first walk through the door, a small kitchenette to the left, and a bedroom to the right, and a balcony large enough to comfortably fit two chairs and a small table on the far end of the room from the door. In the bedroom, there is a window to the left and a bathroom with a bath/shower to the right as well as a chest of drawers.
The resident's rooms are left bare for the residents to decorate as they please, but the guest's rooms are decorated in a simple yet tastefully colorful style and have a radio and television on an entertainment center in the living room as well as appliences in the kitchenette.
The last five stories are much larger and elegantly done up rooms, custom made for their finer clientelle.

Lobby Layout:
The Lobby is a wide open area with a simple fountain in the middle and a large circular white desk in the middle where receptionists make themselves usefull. Also in the lobby near the main entrance is a series of simple black couches and chairs that are arranged to allow people to be sociable while sitting in them, but can be arranged to the individual's liking. On either side of the lobby are large entrances to each tower. Visible from the lobby are the elevators to the higher floors, and other exits as well. Behind the main desk is the entrance to the club which is open to everyone.

Club Layout:
The club is styled with the same simple lines as the rest of the hotel, but is done in much deeper and darker colors. The bar lining the left side of the vast room is a long, dark blue bar with silver stools along its length. It is big enough to seat about 20 people. Behind the bar is an elegant display of several alcohols lit so that the lights played off the colors of the bottles for atmosphere. The large dance floor takes up most of the large room, but around the edges are dark blue tables with silver chairs that seat two to four people each.
