This building is shaped like a length of a garden hose; a hollow cylindrical prism on its side such that a section of the G.A.H. passes straight through it from end to end.

Dimensions & Layout:

This building is 858 feet in diameter, with its tunnel for the G.A.H. being 465 feet in diameter.  It is a mile long.  That gives it a volume of 3,050,000,000 cubic feet, with a livable volume of 897,000,000 cubic feet.  (That means there is room for a few hundred thousand human-sized people in this structure, or even up to a million during standing-room parties/events.)

The layout of the floors and other features of this building is essentially identical to that of the Doughnut-shaped Buildings (or toroids), just without the gaps and curves between them; this is one continuous structure.  Like in Sotu‘s skyscrapers, there are entire floors here devoted to gardens, lounges, parking/hangars, etc..  This is a fully-functioning ‘tube town’ all on its own.

  • parking/garages
  • storage units
  • AIOWs up its sides out away from the G.A.H. running through it
  • garden-levels/areas (courtyards)
  • lounges
  • residences (suites like luxury apartments)
  • observation areas/balconies
  • office space/suites
  • personal aircraft hangars/bays (more parking)
  • restaurants added in 2022

 

Special Features:

Like the Doughnut-shaped Buildings, this Inisfreean construct has the exit and on-ramps of the local G.A.H. section feeding directly into and out from its parking garages.
