After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171: The Half-orc Home

While eating, the trio continued to discuss their future in Alterra. Their favorite topic was, of course, their future home.

They were surprised at the level of detail they could discuss—primarily because the architects considered pretty much everything.

Designing the house wasn't much of a culture in Xeno at all.

After all, there were modules people could just buy and build within a few hours. Who needed to make their house so luxurious when they had survival to worry about, anyway?

Only in Alterra did they realize that it was such a complex practice with an array of things to consider.

First, the sizes of the rooms were based on their size. They were measured everywhere, even how much space they occupied when lying down or while sitting was noted. The designers even measured their tails, and how far they extended or spread.

Even the furniture had a lot of considerations! Briana even sketched what they could look like and they were very impressed by her drawing skills.

The furniture they were making was all broad and comfortable. They would be plush and the cushions would be quite flexible so that their tails wouldn't be squeezed when they sat.

They even considered their fur problems! For example, the cushions were designed so their furs wouldn't stick and were easy to clean. Mostly, it would be made of leather of very strong monsters (from the upgrade beast mob) and they just placed comfortable stuffing inside.

Their furniture would also be coated and waxed to make them relatively scratch-proof—which was bound to happen considering their claws.

The architects asked a lot of questions about their routines and habits as well. It was really a lot like interviews, and some questions they didn't get the relevance of, but they answered anyway.

They were asked what were the first things to do when they woke up. They were asked what they did at home most of the time, and they were asked what they wanted to do more of.

Brian also sketched a lot, and he drew the general arrangement of their future home right in front of them.

He seemed to specialize in the major spaces or the overall layout of the house. He created rectangles that were connected together, and they watched in awe as more and more details were added.

They were also quite amazed by how straight his lines were without having to use rulers. Very talented.

The arrangement was a bit like the usual except for the sizes, but he also explained how their routines affected the arrangement of the spaces.

It was quite fascinating and surprisingly complex.

They also added places for training and grooming, which all looked very comfortable to use. The training area would naturally be located in the garden, but it was right next to the bathroom area.

The grooming area seemed to be a very comfortable place facing the gardens, as if they could clean themselves up while looking at the flowers they had yet to plant.

As for the overall size, it was big enough to fit a dozen more big half-orcs like Baku. However, there were also a few basic furniture like chairs that could be used by humans should they decide to stop by their home.

Looking at all these, it was no wonder the cost was so large. Fortunately, they had all saved a good amount of money and had a pretty nice amount as permanent residents.

They also made arrangements with the guard team about assigning the three of them to the area where their house would be built. They would still make rounds in that area, but they also didn't want to burden others by guarding the workers while they were working on their houses.
