Madness and chaos, but so intriguing! Really nice work. What was it that inspired you or gave you this cool concept?
Thank you, everyone, for the kind words! I might have turned into an Elsweyr curved walls addict. The Mad God made me do it, I swear.
@Ithilis Isn't that the guy who drew the mangas with the human shaped tunnels who slowly twist after you enter them? I saw some pictures that had a similar style.
@Earrindo About 540 items used. Don't get me started about the two other rooms still waiting. I guess I'll just put a big crate over the other ends of the teleports.

Hmm, I started out with a different theme for each of the four corners (the monster portal, the bar, the reading nook etc). The general theme was always: round shapes and flowing lines.
At some point I discovered that the Elsweyr walls formed waves when I connnected and turned them. First, I just wanted to make the place feel more cave-like, with rounded walls and corners. That's why I placed the Elsweyr walls. From there on I followed where my mind took me: "Oh, let's see what happens if I take that element, copy it, turn it some degrees... hey, we have built a dome!"
Now I'm in the process of "Connect all the stuff!". My vision is to have a flowing line basically all around the home (and not just segments in different areas of the room).
So to answer your question: I didn't sketch it out. It's all in my mind. Sometimes I just hop around the home for minutes, look at a pillar, a corner, a wall and find stuff that "tickles" me to start there. The trick for me is to find out what I like about a particular element and build on it ("Hmm, I like the circular pattern on the elsweyr floor. Why not copy it and construct a lattice made of wheels?" or "I love the flow of the Tonal Arc, let's add some curved walls to it so that there's even more flow.)
Sooner or later I end up at that Hnnnggggghh-moment when things fall into place.
