Build a Resort

So I am starting my journey in Roaring Heights. (I needed an urban world (that is not Bridgeport) large enough to have "substantial" railway station.) Obviously the fast pace Art Deco life of Roaring Heights has taxed my constitution in ways unmentionable amongst proper company, and I am in a mighty need of worry-free relaxation. A trip inland to a celebrated hot springs resort is on my intinerary. Mineral baths, massages, and possibly a liberal amount monk wine from seclude nearby abbey. Et cetera, et cetera. Also it is the thing to do this season, and I cannot be a nobody staying at home. One just must leave Roaring Heights to another location to see and be seen by other residents of Roaring Heights who also left to see and be seen.

I've always imagined Roaring Heights to be a coastal city, so a railway connection to the rest of the nation is logical. However the lack of visible train tracks is distressing. Unbeknownst to most, a train tunnel has always existed beneath the city--just patiently awaiting a station to connect it with the travel-eager citizens. (Yep, brilliant, totally-makes-sense backstory.)

Upon entering the station, tickets are sold at a counter to the right, and to the left is a popular coffee cafe.

Continuing further is the two-story concourse, which (along with indoor foliage) there are counters for checking in luggage, a newsstand, and a post office.

Along the back is an small observation lounge that overlooks the tracks. Off to the side in there is a small hallway with private cubicles. Now if TS3 allowed me to place telephones on community lots there would be phones there. But since we've moved from the analog age into the digital, they have been repurposed as private spots for laptops and tablets and whatnot. Free wifi!

Check out that gorgeous canopy!

Sometimes you are attacked by a random sunset, because you are taking too long photographing indoor areas.

The upper level of the concourse has a bar/pub on the tracks-side.

On the front/streetside of the upper concourse there are two shops.
One selling books...

And another, a boutique selling feminine fashions.

Another look at the concourse.

Heading down to the lower level is the main waiting area.

Turnstyles check tickets for departures. The lower level also houses vending machines, an arcade, restrooms, and lockers. Gotta have lockers. Where else are you going to make the drop off at? Forget I mentioned that. You heard nothing. Especially about a drop off.

There are three doors to the platform. One for departures (past the turnstyles), one for arrivals to enter the station, and lastly one for porters to load and unload luggage.

Floor plans! (I labeled stuff. For clarity. Just as I would if I uploaded.)
Lower level:

Main level:

Upper level:

Attic (totally not necessary to show this as it is unused space, but it is accessible by sims, and it shows a lovely view of the pattern of the canopy):

30x40 lot, approximately 320k furnished. No CC, but some Store content. Notably: train tracks from Midnight Hollow, skylight from Roaring Heights, and various deco luggage and curtains.

I was not sure if I needed to inline all 17 images but I did anyway. 12 photos + 4 floors + front.

Super excited about this contest. I love contests. I kinda wanted to offer to judge, but those spots went faster than my indecision putzes along at!
