''Chāntli'' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl Nahuatl] for 'house' or 'dwelling') is a large [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Empire_style#Architecture Second Empire] villa. Unusually, the design blends influences from both the American and the French variants of the style. The villa is surrounded by a small, landscaped park, with a duck pond and hand-sculpted trees. |

⚫ | The interior of ''Chāntli'' is more utilitarian than usual, but still reflects a commitment to realism. The vaulted souterrain is the domain of the servant staff, with a kitchen, storage areas, and a spartan dormitory. The ground floor is largely minor rooms for the private use of the family - with the exception of the monumental, domed vestibule.

''Mebiusu no ie'', commissioned by [[smallfry834618]], is a small, rustic rustic villa on the outskirts of [[Okashima#Okato|Okato]]. Like the rest of the city, it borrows heavily from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_architecture#Edo_period architecture] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edo_period Tokugawa-era Japan]. The name is Japanese for 'House of Möbius', playing off smallfry's Discord-tag. |
