Introduction:

91 sphere-shaped mansions, all rotating at the same slow speed atop a plane tilted 20°, make this one of Inisfree’s many signature neighborhoods and sight-seeing attractions. If you love staying or living close to our city’s mall, pyramid-shaped hotel, and the seven-star restaurant created by the founder of this city, then this is the neighborhood for you.

Dimensions & Layout:

This neighborhood is located between the mall and the Luxor II hotel. The top surface of the overall slant of this neighborhood faces the nearby G.A.H. section. There are seven rows of spheres, each row having 13 spheres, each sphere being a mansion-sized home. Each row is slightly offset from its adjacent rows so that the sphere-mansions do not line up beyond their own rows; they alternate.

~858′ wide
~462′ deep (front to back)
~8 stories tall (for the base/slant); ~80′
~3-story spherical houses (basically the same as a 40′-diameter Hanging Mansion -LINK- but without the top-connector AIOW)
13 on each row/terrace = ~520′ of total structure/span; ~338′ of the neighborhood-base’s total width remaining; ~25′ between each rotating spherical home, + ~20′ on either end/side (the 2 outermost edges of every row/terrace)
7 rows/terraces = ~280′ of total structure/span; ~182′ of the neighborhood-base’s total depth (front to back) remaining; ~30′ between each rotating spherical home

Residents and guests access each sphere-mansion in this neighborhood by way of an AIOW coming up through a central subterranean cylinder which doubles as a guide to ensure that each sphere only rotates about one axis as the water moves beneath the sphere. Each sphere-mansion is seated upon just one of these cylindrical pillars, like an orb on a pedestal. The hanging ball-homes of downtown Inisfree (a.k.a. Sotu), and the half-exposed Ceiling Mansions of the Auz’dome are very similar in dimensions and layouts.

Parking for several personal vehicles (ranging in size from motorcycles to pick-up trucks) is available in each sphere-mansion, with additional parking located in the parking garage area beneath the overall slant of this neighborhood. Residents and guests may also fly personal aircraft (such as the Owl hover-saddle) down to the uppermost balconies of these sphere-mansions, as well as into their uppermost large rooms for internal parking or storage. As always, all parking spaces are bordered by mini-greenbelts of landscaping, and all garages are luxurious and double as in-home carwashes.

Special Features:

Residents and guests can open up water-slide doors from some of the jacuzzis and swimming pools inside the rooms of these sphere-mansions, as well as water-slide gates from the outdoor jacuzzis and swimming pools atop their balconies, riding down the water-slides as their sphere-mansions continue to slowly rotate, splashing down into the water between the sphere-mansions, and riding that water in curves back and forth around each of the sphere-mansions until they are down the slope of this neighborhood to its ground-level perimeter moat which doubles as a ‘lazy river’ like that of any major water-park. At night, this entire water route is illuminated from below its surface by slowly changing LEDs that give it a rainbow fountain effect that is magical to behold –and even more so to float along!

Picture each ball bearing or fruit in the images that follow as being one of the spherical homes slowly rotating as the water flows down the slope they are all arranged/anchored upon.
