Hi,
See below video for a tour of my custom built villa perched over the cliff for views of the lake and Halls of Colossus.
This build also includes a renovation of the first chamber, turning it into a functional crafting hub.
Hope you enjoy the video and it gives some ideas.
If you like it, please check out my other ESO housing videos on YouTube or even subscribe.
Thanks for watching.

    Holy cow man, this may be my all-time favorite Custom house I've ever seen submitted. Seriously impressive stuff, I absolutely love the house you built from scratch in the first part of the video. Most of the time, the custom built structures, while certainly creative, definitely feel like they were made from a bunch of items put together. Yours fits seamlessly, and I kinda like it more then half of the ZoS built houses hah!

    Not only does it look great, but has a really well designed layout & floorplan.The hallways flow nicely and the Balcony spots are fantastic.

    Very cool stuff my man! If you ever recreate this on the normal servers when Elsweyr goes live, I'd love to visit!

    Thank you very much @Vehlir glad you liked it. I will definitely be making this my main home on live when it comes out. Its such a great location for a free home. It will take a while but I will give you a shout when it's done.

    How many items is that? It looks like you've used most of the limit in what is just one out of 4 areas.

    @darthgummibear_ESO I have used the full 700 hundred but at the end of the video, I have also decorated the first room so I have done 2 out of 4 sections with the 700 slots. Approx breakdown as follows;
    200 items for the first hall
    500 items for the outdoor zone (200 items to build the structure and 300 to decorate it)

    It is disappointing that ZOS didn't break this up into separate zones with separate item limits for each zone, especially given that we have to port through a load screen anyway (albeit very brief). I think that this house was a missed opportunity to deliver on one of the community suggestions that we have been asking for ages, namely to break up the house into different zones each with its own item limit. This could have been a potential solution to overcoming the restrictive item limits.
    I'm personally disappointed that our suggestions on this, right at the start of the PTS, were ignored and instead the designers went ahead and produced a house where we will have to decorate 4 zones with only 700 items!!
    I just don't understand when there is a solution being presented to them, why they ignore it.
    Anyway, I suppose at the end if the day, its a fee home and its beautiful so I don't want to be ungrateful.

    That's unfortunate. Glad to see what you've done with the place, but if that's the case I'll probably only end up using 2 rooms. One for pure utility items like stones, work benches, dummy, and one for aesthetics. If my prior housing experience in games like Wildstar taught me anything, it's that once you get even remotely creative you burn through items FAST.

    Shame you have to walk through the fug, buzzing, laser disco-balled, stone plinth-filled entrance hall to get to such a serene space.

    @osakano the main floor is built out over the existing ledge. The stairs going down to the lower floor mark the exact edge of where the ground stops.
    Hope that explains.

    Love the round overlook but the main chamber crafting area is such a good idea!

    It's really unfortunate that even with load screens the item limit for this huge house is still 700. I would love to see how you decorate the rest of it.

    Thank you @sueblue I agree about the limits and the load screens. I have been petitioning on as many forum threads as I can about the lost opportunity with house to create separately loaded spaces with their own limit.
    Unfortunately I will never be able to decorate all 4 areas with only 700 slots 😞

    This is a work of art, as always with your builds. 11/10

    From the front, it looks like a quiet, unassuming cottage. Quaint, homey. I was expecting the inside to be rather like a large cabin. But, as you entered, the house revealed itself to be rather gloriously grand. A surprise! :smiley:

    Your mix of Alinor, Elsweyr, Redguard, and even Ayleid building materials and furnishings, sounds like an eclectic mess! But it works. The materials marry together seamlessly. You have an excellent eye for style. I loved the scale of the build. Every room seems opulent, luxuriously spaceous. The balcony off the kitchen/dining makes me want to dine there al fresco style every night! Followed by a few drinks on the lower balcony off the library, with the sounds and views of the waterfall.

    I love the way you've incorporated the Elsweyr Dais as ceiling roses throughout. An idea I am likely to steal! :)

    The proportions of the bedroom are outstanding! The ensuite bathroom, larger than most I've seen, is so luxurious! The alinor window box above the toilet, for a moment, looked to me like an air conditioning unit. The balcony off the bedroom continues the feeling of weatlh, due of the Redguard fence tops, and the way you've positioned the lighting to reflect it's golden hue. Lovely!

    Hope you enjoy replicating it on the live server. :)

    Thank you for sharing your talent.

    This is why I posted a request for more open format/blank slate houses. You can go crazy and not feel like you are under utilizing the rest of the house. In fact you can have as many houses that they make where you get to freeform build.

    The setting for the first unlocked portion of the Hall of the Lunar Champion could be a separate house all together it's so fun and gorgeous.

    I love seeing talented designer's custom builds more than I like seeing prefab houses decorated. I can't be the only one!

    @StabbityDoom this was a PTS build before Elsweyr was released and unfortunately the PTS has been wiped.
    But if it's of interest, this current build is open for viewing on the PTS...

    Another awesome build with fantastic views, wonderful libraries and a sense of spacious luxury at the same time as being a cozy getaway! Your places always look so inviting! :smiley:

    After seeing several of your fantastic builds now, I am curious, are there any homes that you leave built / furnished? I can’t imagine wanting to disassemble such lovely creations! Edit: Upon reading more of the comments, I see this and the Moon Sugar Anequina Palace were on a PTS server so keeping them wasn’t an option. Do you have any more permanent builds on your main / home server? I think you’re on the EU PC server but if you’re on NA PC, I’d LOVE to come by and see one of your fabulous builds “in person”! <3

    Great idea to build down over the cliff! I was thinking of creating a stairway down and building something just above the water but it is a looong way and we don’t yet have non-block stairs (or as you put it, 2D stairs). One could place shelves or boards individually, but then getting down the cliff would take the entire furnishing limit budget! :lol:

    In the sink area just outside the main sleeping area, what did you use for the bar of hand towels? It doesn’t look like any furnishing piece I’ve seen.

    Once again, amazing build and thank you for sharing your creations with the community! :blush:
