===Yoahtl Gallery (July 2021)===
Yoahtl Gallery is a small exhibition space in [[Yoahtl#New Yoahtl City|New Yoahtl City]]. Conceived by [[Jyn]] and commissioned by the Yoahtl government, it displays and sells a rotating collection of [[Map Art|map art]]. The gallery is intended to mimic the fashionable art shops of American urban centres.

The plot is small and situated under a bridge crossing, demanding careful planning. RoboRik settled on a narrow, vertically-oriented [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_gable Dutch gable] as the visual centrepiece, The other walls were kept in muted colours, so that they would not look out of place in the interior. The entrance is designed in a contrasting [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_architecture modernist] style and is intended to look like a later addition. There are two small apartments above the gallery space.

''Chāntli'' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl Nahuatl] for 'house' or 'dwelling') is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Empire_style#Architecture Second Empire] villa in [[Icenia#Internal Districts of Icenia|Icenia City]]. The design blends influences from both the American and the French variants of the style. It was commissioned by [[WackyAki]], the reigning [[Yoahtl#Alcuahtl|Alcuahtl]] of Yoahtl, to serve as his Icenian residence. The villa is surrounded by a small, landscaped park, with a duck pond and two trees.
The interior of ''Chāntli'' is more utilitarian than most RoboRik builds, but still reflects his commitment to realism. The vaulted souterrain would have been the domain of the servant staff, with a kitchen, storage areas, et cetera. The ground floor has minor rooms for the private use of the family - with one great exception: the domed, monumental vestibule. Its grand staircase leads to the first floor, or ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_nobile piano nobile]'', where lavish guest rooms offer frank displays of wealth.
=== ''Mebiusu no ie'' (September 2021) ===
''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.
