Grand Psijic Villa Project: Indoor 3-Tier Arboretum

There's been quite a bit of kvetching about the Villa and how big it (?!) but I'm loving the openness of the spaces and as a decorator it's challenging me to see what I can do on a grander scale. Here are some pictures of a lovely 3-tier arboretum that is just about done. 
I wanted my Villa to represent my IRL gamer grrrl nature. I adore PVP and PVE equally and love the beautiful and dangerous spaces I have visited all over Tamriel. I wanted my villa to be not just pretty but...Pretty Deadly. =P With that concept in mind, I wanted each room to be beautiful, but also convertible to combat ready. Sure, the arboretum is a gorgeous place for a afternoon tea, but throw a switch to drop down one of the planter wells and enjoy beating the potatoes out of the Precursor.
Thanks to @R_K for the awesomeness that is Essential Housing Tools and Magic Carpet! Love love love your work!

✭Love it
Plants and trees look so good in an interior setting, and yours are just beautiful!
I wouldn't want to wander too close to that pretty tree when the switch is flipped though

Earrindo✭✭✭✭✭This is an amazing bit of decorating!
Having taken a more verdant approach to the interior myself, I love how you've used the space, and all the wonderful plants!
Are you planning on decorating the rest of the Villa in a similar vein?

@Earrindo , Yes! most definitely! I love bringing nature indoors and this is a common theme in my houses. Below are a few pictures of my Mournoth Keep interior. The concept for the "Lost Keep" is that Varda - my main character - was attacked at the keep and during a magical battle the surrounding mountain was blasted and fell onto the keep. The exterior is completely covered by rock, and I wanted to make sure the interior 1) was consistent, and 2) was being reclaimed by nature.
And a few of the exterior:

Earrindo✭✭✭✭✭Wowza ) great use of telvanni furnishings there! I love trying to make more organic and nature reclaimed homes.
Overwhelming the sharp edges of a structure with natural curves and lines is my jam )
I'd love to check your homes out in person some time!0 -

DJfriede✭✭✭✭✭This looks great. I love how... organic (ha!) the balconies flow in the room. Great idea with the precursor!
What did you use as the balkony floor? It looks so smooth. 0 -

@DJfriede , it's a combination of the Curved Limestone Shelf, and Large Limestone Shelf. If you flip them over they are more or less smooth on the bottom.
