As promised, here is Xeph's newly renovated space within Icarus Station in Origin.
[spoiler]As you enter you are immediately surrounded by a massive central living space. A few steps take you onto a floating disk, much like a loading lift as found in a dock. The open-air lift gently floats all guests down over a hologram of flowing electrically charged purple gas like one might find upon a storm planet. As the lift lands, it seems to do so upon a fully enclosed circular ‘pond’ of actual purple gas. Looking around, the space seems to spill out into various rooms, shelves, balconies, and nooks all from a central, generally cubical living space roughly 100m by 100m in size. The theme of transparent flowing gas conduits plays throughout the space with various separate gas colors ranging from the purples and blues used primarily in the central spaces, to greens, reds, yellows, and pinks used more in various rooms and siting areas ensconced within the nooks and balconies. Most rooms are initially transparent through to the central space; however a simple command can render the walls opaque. With settings which allow each wall to show the contents or occupants of their rooms or even to mask both, each room can seem to disappear from sight along with everything and everyone within. The rivers of flowing gas give each space a feel of calming movement while gentle scented breezes occasionally pass through the open spaces.
In a curious mix of mediums, each room is furnished in rare, dark, heavily patterned woods and fungi which lend an oddly organic feel to what would otherwise be a starkly modernist design. Rich upholsteries in deep blue and maroons mingle with bright greens of various living plant life to give a deeply vibrant living atmosphere to round out the rooms.
Significant portions of the primary living spaces appear to have a gentle anti-grav field activated which give the feel of padding despite otherwise hard plasteel surfaces. In these areas small bins of various children’s toys are stashed just out of sight. Some of the toys look to have been recently played with.
Various other lifts, each with transparent but firm sidewalls, glide from surface to landing allowing guests to migrate to smaller rooms or alcoves above. The squared-off shape of these rooms and nooks continues and joins the various conduits of storming gas to bring the soothingly flowing theme with it into rooms for leisure, business, recreation, and exercise. Included in these are a constant flow swimming tank, a holo-theatre that doubles as a quite reading space, a professionaly equipped kitchen, a secluded office with room for three separate desks, and various sleeping rooms. Largest of these separate rooms is the master suite which seems to float almost central to the overall living space. From within this room, one can see into almost every other room and space should their walls be set transparent as well. The overall effect is akin to sleeping amidst a forest of plants, woods, family, and the ever-flowing rivers and pools of soft storming gases.
At the topmost level of the living space the various gas conduits merge to herald the guest as they step from the lift into a broad room whose floor is composed entirely of one giant but thin transparent chamber in which all colors of the gas mingle and swirl before flowing to the far end of the room and appearing to spill forth out into space just below floor to ceiling windows looking out into the vastness of Origin. Few furnishings grace this space though it could be used for all manner of events.
