Southland Tower

Since I deeded my land to group, I had 152 sq m available I could acquire to max out my tier level. 

I looked several times before finding something I thought was suitable, suitable meaning some sort of a view, more or less square in shape and within easy double click distance from a road.

I finally found the perfect parcel. It was 144 sq m, (12 by 12) on a Mature sim for sale at the outrageous price of 20 L per sq m, but I figured why not, so I bought it.

A parcel that size only has 49 prims available, but I had an idea for a low prim version of an old build  that I'd wanted to try for some time. Years ago I built a tower, it was probably 50 prims, so obviously I couldn't use it here.

But I always loved the design and layout, so I decided to resurrect it using sculpted prims.

New improved sculpted prim version

I built it for a total count of 12 prims, including the concrete base and an invisible cylinder prim to keep from walking thru the walls. It has two floors, the lower on being a social area, the upper containing an orgy couch. The top deck has a couple of beach blankets for laying out in the sun.

After furnishing it, I still have 10 prims available.

View from the ground, with me for scale

The  view from the top is fantastic, and it's possible to double click into one of the LL cars that travels along the nearby road.

I don't get why people need large properties and hundreds or even thousands of prims to make their dream come true. I could be quite happy with just this small corner of second life to call home.
