Resolution Skysphere Models

November 16, 2009

resolution-1_001The Resolution is an extensive update to the original i-Squared 32m diameter skysphere.

Suitable for use on land greater that 35m on a side, the Resolution expands on our ever-popular Skypshere range and updates the 32m diameter unit to the same standard as the successful Revolution II.

Two versions of the Resolution are now available – the Resolution and the Resolution BDSM.

The Resolution

The standard Resolution comes with four distinct areas:

  • The main floor, divided into two by arched walls and a central stairwell. This features 360-degree panoramic windows, complete with a a tinting system to ensure a degree of privacy from outside eyes. A set of double doors provide access to the 10m diameter balcony
  • The lower floor, reached via the central stairwell, offering further opne-plan living space
  • An upper bedchamber, reached via a side staircase and overlooking the front half of the main living floor
  • A “rooftop” garden area with a circular lawn, stone-sided planters for flowers and an i-Squared wooden hot tub.

resolution-2_001The interior finish of the Resolution is warm summer yellows, complimenting wooden floors and wood-effect trim to the lower floor and bed chamber walls.

Lighting is included throughout, with the lower floor hand bed chamber featuring lighting rings, and the main living floor having light panels built-into the dividing archways. Additionally, two of the dividing walls feature inlaid etched glass panels.

The hot tub features selectable water, steam and bubbles and has 4 default sitting poses included. In addition, the control panel includes an MLP posing system and a range of poses.

The garden is covered by a rooftop dome that appears solid from the outside, but which is transparent from the inside.

Specification and Price

Prims: 76 (incl. hot tub)
Permissions: Copy / Modify

Price: L$900 – Buy it on Xstreet or Slapt.Me or Apez or Metaverse Exchange.

Resolution BDSM

Combines all the features of the Resolution skysphere with selected features from our popular BDSM Skysphere!

At first glance the Resolution BDSM looks identical to the standard Resolution, with the same main living area and bed chamber above, and the domed rooftop garden area and hot tub. But looks can be deceptive!

resolution-8_001Hidden in the central column supporting the bed chamber is a secret (and lockable / access-controlled) door which will open to reveal a stairway leading down to a private play area, which includes:

  • RLV control zone set to prevent RLVR-enabled visitors from flying or tping
  • A texture system allowing you to configure the interior of the play area in one of 8 different styles (chhose from: Stone, Black, Blue plated, Metal, Sanitorium (shown), Futuristic, Industrial or Red Room)
  • “The Pit” a 5m deep cell set into the floor under the stairs, complete with its own RLV control zone.

Both control zones, developed by Felis Darwin and used with full permission, can be configured to set the desired levels of restrictions you wish to place on visitors / prisoners. In addition, the controller in the play room can be set to operate only in the play room area, or can be extended to affect other floors within the skysphere!

BDSM Skysphere – Revised

November 16, 2009

BDSM-Skysphere-1Since its introduction, the i-Squared BDSM Skysphere has proven very popular. In a reflection of this, I’ve now updated the original to hopefully improve the flexibility of use it offers.

Overall the sphere still retains much that is familiar:

  • 32m diameter size
  • four levels of interior play space
  • “The Pit” – a 5m deep cell in the basement area of the sphere, with a dedicated RLV control zone with pre-set restrictions
  • An additional RLV control zone governing the rest of the sphere, with less intrusive restrictions
  • The ability to configure the restrictions set by either / both control zones.

resolution-7_001However, the updated version of the sphere now offers the ability to change the interior appearance of each individual level, rather then the entire interior, and the texture options have been extended to include the central stairwell walls and the room dividers on the main floor of the sphere.

In all 8 interior styles remain available for you to choose from, as follows:

  • Stone: a dungeon-like interior with dark stone walls, a stone floor and ceiling
  • Black: a prison-like feel, with black walls with a single horizontal white stripe, metal-tiled floor and a lighter tiled ceiling
  • Blue plated: blue metal-like plated walls, a steel floor and lighter ceiling
  • Metal: Metal walls and floors combine to give a feeling of imprisonment
  • Sanitorium: white patterned walls, floor and accostically-tiled ceiling given and institutional feel
  • Futuristic: BDSM in a sci-fi environment with hi-tech panelled walls and ceiling designs
  • Industrial: steel and exposed cabling combine to give the impression of impersonal imprisonment, perhaps ideal for those who enjoy kidnap-related play
  • The Red Room: rich red drapes cover the walls under a tiled ceiling and the floor is covered by a deep red carpet, giving a boudoir feel to please any Mistress’ heart.

resolution-5_001Any one of these designs can be set through the sphere , or all four levels can be individually dressed to suit your needs, or you can use any combination in between.

As with the original a copyable leash post and leash ring (suitable for wall mounting) are included in the build.

Galleria – Updated

August 24, 2009

Galleria IIThe Galleria is a large, modern design in our luxury homes range, has undergone a recent overall and now, we believe, present even better value for money.

While the overall appearance of the house has not changed, nor has the number and layout of the rooms, we’ve taken a number of steps to make it more attactive to buyers. The key changes that have been made include:

- Overhauling the lighting system and simplifying the controls

- Adding new, colour-selectable spots to the patio

- Adding the i-Squared sefl-rezzing curtain system

- Adding a tinting option to all exterior windows.

Curtain System

Galleria lounge with the curtains closed

Galleria lounge with the curtains closed

The Galleria now includes our i-Squared self-rezzing curtain system. This system:

  • Allows curtains to be rezzed for wall external windows, or de-rezzed if prim counts become an issue
  • Allows you to select the colour of your curtains from 11 preset, or opt to completely randomise the colour of individual curtains!

Curtains in the Galleria are controlled on a per-room basis, allowing you to have them either open or closed in different room, and / or select different curtain colours on a room-by-room basis.

In addition, you can safely de-rez the curtains at any time, and later re-rez them wihout any loss.

i-Squared House Controllers

In order to simplfying some of the options in the Galleria, we have included three i-Squared Lighting and Curtain control systems into the house (one in the lounge and one each in the bedrooms). These controllers allow you to:

  • Individually rez / de-rez the curtains in a room
  • Raise or lower the curtains when rezzed
  • Select the curtain colour
  • Operate the room’s main lights
  • Operate any additional spotlights (if present in the room)
  • Tint the outer surfaces of the exterior windows for additional privacy
The lougne curtains set to "Burgundy"

The lounge curtains set to "Burgundy"

Each controller comprises a number of individually-labelled buttons (e.g. “L” for lights; “S” for any spotlights, “Col” to colour the curtains, etc), which each display an easy-to-follow on-screen menu allowing you to either operate the lights / curtains or select the require curtain colour, level of window tinting, etc.

When the lights are turned on from the controller, a small LED in the controller illuminates to indicate which lights (main, spots) have been turned on, making the controllers easy to follow and understand.

The tinting option on the controller allows you to set the tint of the external surface of all exterior windows from 20% (transparent) through to 100% (opaque from the outside). No matter what level of tinting is selected, you will still be able to see out through the windows, even when others cannot see in. The tinting system itself can either be used with the curtains, or if you have prim issues, you can de-rez your Galleria’s curtains to use the window tinting system on is own – thus providing you with the best of alternatives.

Lighting Revisions

Lighting within the Galleria has been simplified. The main lights in the lounge and bedrooms are all now operated from the i-Squared controllers, as are the living room spotlights. The lights for the kitchen are operated from a double switchplate in the kitchen itself, with upper switch turning the main kitchen light on or off, the lower switch operating the breakfast bar spotlights. The breakfast spots themselves now include a colour selection option, allowing you to change the colour of the spots from a simple on-screen menu.

The back porch now incorporates working spotlights rather than prim glow spots. again, these are operated from a switchplat inside the house, and have colour-select options.

As with the original Galleria, the update retains several useful features:

  • The kitchen can be removed, if required, allowing you to install a kitchen of your choice, or use the space for other purposes
  • The kitchen spotlights are removable, as is the living room fireplace
  • The fire can bit “lit” by saying “on” in chat and put out by saying “x”
  • A pack of 4 breakfast chairs are included with the house

Overall, the Galleria always presented exceptional style and accommodation at a reasonable price. With thse revisions, we think it just became a whole lot better.

Skylander

June 15, 2009

skylander-1Skylander is one of i-Squared Design’s largest skyhomes, offering a huge amount of living space in a completely unique design.

While primarily designed for use in the sky, it should be noted that the Skylander can also be used on the ground where it can provide a truly eye-catching facade in any suitable parcel of land.

At the top of the unit is the lounge area – a truly expansive area that provides excellent living space, complete with a beautiful stone-feature fireplace with “working” flames. Although open-plan, the lounge area can be easily sub-divided into smaller rooms to provide a variety of potential uses.

skylander-loungeThe fireplace itself conceals a double stair case that leads down to the lower section of the house, through a smartly-raked glass “neck”. Here, sliding doors provide access to the Skylander huge patio area, complete with swimming pool and optional hot tub and sun loungers. The hot tub has options to fill / empty the water and to turn the steam and bubbles on or off. In addition to the four sitting poses built-into the hot tub’s bench, it is also equipped with a multi-love pose engine and 14 animations….

skylander-bedroomA single staircase runs down to the lower section of the Skylander, which consists of two full-length bedrooms separated by a central hallway. Each bedroom has angled windows to the front and rear, providing uninterrupted views of the skies around the skylander. Each bedroom is accessed by a single sliding glass door and has its own lighting source featuring the i-Squared “on at dusk, off at dawn” option.

The hallway between the bedrooms provides access to a small front balcony reached though a set of double doors. Should the Skylander be used on the ground, this balcony can be easily detached, and the double doors used as a front entrance.

skylander-nightThe lighting used in the Skylander has been designed to provide excellent internal and external illumination that emphasises the unique design of the build to its fullest. As well as the large internal room lights, the Skylander has two patio lights which provide excellent illumination on either side of the oval pool.

When viewed at night, the Skylander is an impressive sight!

skylander-rear-aspectThe Skylander has been designed to be both functional and stylish no matter the angle fro which it is viewed, front or rear. The textures used have been carefully selected to ensure they blend well together to provide a rich finish to the house. The exterior walls are finished in a white stucco, while the interior walls have a bright plaster finish. The windows are framed in black metal, and the glass has been textured with privacy blinds on one side while still affording uninterrupted views of the outside world. The floors throughout the build are wood: those inside being a polish parquet effect, with the rooftop patio displaying a traditional wood decking.As with all i-Squared homes, the Skylander features fully-scripted NDE doors.

KEYNES

Keynes II-newInspired by the work of architect Orsted Keynes, the Keynes is an utterly striking and unique house design intended fro beach-themed use. Pedestal-mounted the house can be used on coastal land or, if you have a water-themed sim, can even be placed in the water, the support pillars ensuring the main structure of the house remains above the water.

The keynes comprises two house sections of main living area and master bedroom, which together provide a distinctive “linked” look to the build that is not found anywhere else in SL.

At 124 prims, the Keynes is best suited to parcels of 1024 sq m or above, with plots of 2048 or larger providing the best ground area in which to locate it.

Access to the Keynes is via a sculpted semi-spiral staircase finished in white stone and which leads to expnasive front balcony area which has a herrinbone inlaid wood floor. Two spherical lights at the top of the stairway ensure it is always well-lit, day or night.

Keynes loungeEntrance to the Keynes is via a sliding front door which, like the windows throughout the build, is pre-tinted for privacy. The main section of the house provides a large, flexible lsplit-level living area, complete with repositionable stone-finished fireplace with “working” flames. A 10×10m annex at the back of the living area provides space for a kitchenette or office / study area.

Keynes bedroomThe master bedroom area is reached via a covered walkway and again features pre-tinted windows for privacy giving a paroramic view to the front of the house, with full-height windows overlooking the rear aspect. A large bay area at the back of the bedroom provides room for a bed or dresser, depending on your taste and gives the bedroom a nice focus.

The keynes has been carefully finished throughout with a range of textures: the exteior walls are white stucco, while the interior walls are finished in a mix of plaster finishes, the lounge walls complete with skirting board and dado rail effects. Flooring throughout is wood parquet, and the ceilings / roof areas are finished in a rich, dark wood effect. The interior lighting is a mix of main ring light and featured spotlights, all of which include i-Squared’s automatic “on at dusk, off at dawn” feature.
