Fairwinds Islands - Page 2

I'm not crazy about the Radisson being that it doesn't fit in well with the other buildings. Everything else though is very well done and incorporated.

the radisson plegaria is my capriccio italien, it doesn't fit anywhere

I still don't know what to do about it, but the owner is a whimsical tycoon, very hard to deal with.

The location of the city of Fairwinds is finally disclosed: Diego Garcia atoll, in the Chagos Islands (British Indian Ocean Territories).
http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...ego-garcia.htm

Until the Fairwinds Islands project began in 2007 Diego Garcia was home to a US Navy base and a Naval Computer and Telecommunication Station. So we have an idyllic tropical atoll 7 degrees south of the equator, with excellent bandwidth and US Navy protection - which I deem a lot more trustee than Nakheel Water Patrol. The Chagos Islands are the British Colony that's been colonised by the Americans (3200 military personnel and contractors).

Fairwinds Corporation plans for Phase 1 the completion of two two artificial islands in the lagoon connected through a highway bridge to the airport and dwarfing the population of the military base.

For now only Mayfair Island is to some point completed, while construction in Plymouth Rock has just began.

i'll be posting data on the new buildings, as well as softening the edges and estimating population. I'd appreciate feedback!

Honestly, the buildings are starting to get unrealistic. I think you should keep it a resort/hotel community, or atleast downsize those buildings.

Just my thoughts.

^ That's what I think about Dubai.

Anywho, I think you're doing a great job, keep it up! Build whatever you want to build.

I'm not a big fan of the new towers either. They do seem a little unrealistic for their height but if downsized, they could look great. Also it would be nice if the grass was all the same color.

well, the new towers are trapped in my non-working laptop, so if by when I get it back I haven't make anything better, I'll keep them.

I'm now making it all over again, keeping just the first hotel and the three residential towers.
I began urbanizing the highway between the airport and the islands and nothing xtravagant so far.

WOW so futuristic. I really really like the St. God's Medical Center, I guess I must agree with Dac, the new tall towers arent very realalistic, but honestly I like them, if this island takes place in the 2015's I can see this island being very "realaistic".

Holy moly - I look away for a second and dang!

Ok, I finally laid out the buildings i've been working on. I still need to work more on the street level, but what do you think of the new city:

Dac150 · #32 Posted **Oct 28, 2007, 2:53 AM**

Very impressive. Fairwinds Islands is like Miami on steroids. Keep up the good work!

Austin55 · #33 Posted **Oct 28, 2007, 4:49 AM**

wow! neato.I love th style

my only compliant,to repetitiive.

verticalextropy · #34 Posted **Oct 28, 2007, 5:07 AM**

I added a spire

this is main street

aleks, those are hi density residential complexes, check out Hong Kong and you'll even 16 hi-rises packed together, and -i hope- without the feel of state housing.
