The Lodge

I'm starting a series of posts using a Scarlet Creative build I've wanted to highlight for some time. The Noelle Chalet is a lovely small house featuring an interesting mix of raw wood, exposed beams and glass with a modern twist and available at a great price (50l unfurnished, 199l furnished). Beautifully furnished (I've added only a few pieces, but you really don't need to), the build was designed as a rustic mountain getaway and looks great surrounded by snow, but some of the design elements made me think it could function just as well as a small hunting lodge, perhaps on the plains of Africa.

Note if you are interested in checking out a demo, follow the beacon from the landing point to the teleporter that takes you to Scarlet Creative's discount area. Also the female clothes here are free gifts from the opening of the Zenshi Shopping district. I don't know how much longer they will be available, but if you visit the various stores there you will find many more gifts.
