Awesome towers that aren't malls

I'm a huge fan of towers as art. (Towers as malls, no matter how well decorated, interest me less. Just my personal aesthetic.) Some examples of ones I've particularly enjoyed are those designed by awesome sauce01, Atlantis and FyodorD.

I'd love to visit more creative non-mall towers. Does anyone know of any others that fit this general profile?

Thanks!

P.S. I also want to give a shout-out to Rathany, who has a great tower that helps people get all the locations in game. It's a wonderful tower even though it sells TP scripts. (And thanks to Minkey for helping me remember Rathany's name!)

  • You may have to click back a bit through the pages, but Cleops did a grand tour of creative towers a while back (back when towers were very new): www.glitch.com/snaps/PUV1D6...

  • I HIGHLY recommend Piece of Serenity's tower as well as Ooola's, for 2 different approaches. I'll have to go through my list, I have seen dozens of incredible towers. Many people are really, really creative and inspiring.

  • Mine might qualify, if for no other reason than I only sell one thing, and its beer.

  • I can't remember what was in the rest of the tower, but one floor at least of Darius Atrepes's tower is awesome:

  • There are lots of great towers posted. Thanks so much and keep 'em coming!

  • I can't recommend The Wretched's tower highly enough. He sells things, but the settings he's created are little works of art. I've been back more than once and will go again.

    ETA: The Wretched is now back to being blahtopian, so search for blahtopian instead.

    jasbo has a lovely museum floor--the Isabella Shimla Groddle Museum--which is a beautiful homage to a real-life museum.

  • I put a lot of work into decorating my tower, though it does have a general store and a cafe ( level 4 and lobby respectively)

    I haven't updated it recently and I have tons of ideas for improvements but feel free to check out L1 and L2 - they're my babies!

  • My tower does sell stuff, but just floury stuff. I like the black and white color scheme a lot! :3

  • My tower is a collection of Glitchy songs and poems written by writers all over Ur. Read this update for more info: www.glitch.com/status/PUVNV...

  • I randomly visited Voluptua Sneezelips' tower and she deserves to be added to this list as well. Voluptua, you should really toot your own horn a little more. :)

  • Check out Scragz's Tower... It has a great story so don't miss reading the narrative notepoles.

    And Scythe is doing a series of snaps called Great Towers so you might find some new places to visit by looking thru Scythe's snaps.  

    Thanks Edith for the recommend!  I do have sales on 2 floors but try to make it part of the theme.  I've just maxed out my floors (Yay!)  so, more decorating to do.

  • Also The Cat Face's tower is a riot, especially the F is for... floor :)

  • I have a library. And the Found Literature Museum of Ur. :)

  • Oh wow...Amythien, thank you. I've just been quietly decorating for a few weeks. I was intimidated enough by deco and by all of the amazing work out there that I haven't really even decorated my house and was scared for a long time of putting anything out there on display. So it means a lot to me that you enjoyed it.

  • My tower is for meditation purposes only.

  • Feel free to visit mine - nothing for sale but I have a pool, showers, Hell, Art and the restaurant at the end of the URniverse

  • Eglantine's Egg Museum is fantastic!

  • My tower only has the top floor which has a few things for sale.  The rest is art or functional.  :)
    Posted 83 days ago by Serra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I've gotten some compliments on mine - it has a sno-cone museum, alchemy museum, museum of rare and discontinued items, holiday museum.  Plus some stuff for sale.  :)

  • I will have to check these towers out. Like the OP I would really enjoy seeing some creative towers rather than just malls (though some of them can be tastefully done as well-litlc lookin at you). My tower is not quite finished yet but will only be selling a few crops on the bottom floor. The other two are a reading/music room and a gaming room. Stop by and if you leave me a note you might win a prize if you qualify.

  • My tower is The Bellona Club and is set up as an attempt to represent a turn-of-the-century Gentlemen's Club - well, except for floor 3-1/2, which was taken over by MI6 and NSA some time ago (mind the gap).  Unfortunately walls, ceilings and floors are basic non-credit materials, but most of the furniture was luxuriously and meticulously handcrafted for me by Cassandria, and I'm quite pleased with it.  It's still a work in progress, nothing for sale, just a place to relax and let your imagination take over.

  • Ooola's got a great tower that's themed after cheesy sci fi flicks. It's pretty clever

  • Mnēmē's Museum of Wine, Women and Song is amazing.

  • Loupin's tower is epic. As is Jopes. Mine is randomness after the 3rd floor, but I have a bar, drug den and a sex dungeon.

  • Guest house and top floor meditation room and memorial.

  • Just want to again thank everyone for posting. I'm working with someone on a spreadsheet of these and will share the results when we're finished. (And more suggests for great towers are still welcome!)
    Posted 82 days ago by Amythien Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Please consider my tower. its not intended to sell. It has note posts with many stories, lyrics, poems etc. Even the unfinished top floor has messages.
    I am glad to have found this forum. I'll be touring the recommended towers. Thanks

  • Kitsune Kyomoon's tower is amazingly awesome, albeit not completely finished. But her Mad Tea Party floor and This is Zilloween floor (not to mention her Pet Shop floor), should be visited.

  • And while my tower does sell things, Whovians might have fun visiting my bar.

  • I so love all the artist here , I also love mall towers as the values are super in comparison to the auction and when you need large quantites then go to a mall tower.I did visit and cant remember who but loved their floor of astology ,fantastic display of planets. Wish I could remember.

  • Aw, Lily Frog, that is really kind, thank you.

    To be fair, there is a gift shop in the tower. Mus-emo Bear purchases help support the exhibits :)

    I appreciate all the visits though, and thank everyone who left a comment or a suggestion - thank you.

  • If you like to cook (IRL) visit my tower...I posted recipes for my favorite, what else..one pot meals and awesome stew-like creations.  I sell a bit of food, but really that is just a sideline!

    Also I am collecting stories from anyone who cares to leave one...visit the story room on the top floor for an inspiring atmosphere...
    Posted 82 days ago by Nanookie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That sounds awesome, Nan! I'm going to have to go over and look at those recipes!
    Posted 82 days ago by Little Miss Giggles Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I also recommend Ooola's! Very unique theme. 
    I've only joined a few weeks ago though, so I don't know many others.  I'll definitely be perusing this thread. :)

  • After the introduction of towers, I founded the Tower Appreciation Group exactly for that kind of purpose. I have to admit, the group never really kicked off and stayed at around a dozen members. Have been quite a bit busy in RL myself, as well.

    If people are still interested, I'd be happy for a new revival of the group. Group forums could also be a very nice way to set up different kind of lists of towers (tower art, tower museum, funny ideas, etc.)

    Feel free to join.

    And now I'm gonna try to visit some of the towers mentioned here. ;)
    (My personal favourite is still Rhodan's Jellisac museum.)

  • While I won't say my tower is that awesome (I think it is, you might disagree)  I don't like to sell things out of it because the little price tags look ... icky and out of place.  My favorite room (labelled so even)  is the second floor, and is totally Uralia purple and blue.  :)  I just build the fifth floor, so there isn't anything up there yet.

    I would love the traffic to come visit though. :) Lots of trees and piggies to harvest from.

  • My tower isn't a mall.  It's a junk store.

    Go shop at yer malls.  Thassright.

  • While I sell a few things from my tower at the moment, it is mostly a home for the questionably sane... I've been having fun creating characters for each floor. It's still a work in progress, but I'd love some helpful feedback :)

  • Museum of Glitchen Items on my street is still going, most everything there on display except for some extremely rares.  Every floor full of SBDs, so the aesthetics are cruddy ;)

    There are a few SBDs on the first floor that sell some building supplies to help other tower builders and help to curate the museum.
