What is this building? NEW BUILDING 24th Dec
« on: December 02, 2015, 07:36:53 PM »
Hi all

I want to make a building for a sci fi "fringe" setting from this. What do you think it should be? Some sort of shop, information point... Please help.

Not sure, but it looks cool. Where's it from?

They look like GI Joe size doors...how big is it?

It looks like it could be a shop if you replaced the twin sets of doors with rolling shop-gates...replaced the small steps with a ramp for cars/trucks.  Shop door on the back side...throw an a/c vent up top.  Add a fence w/ supplies/tip/etc.

Corner tech store or open door cafe.  Throw some tables out front and it would fit the part.

The doors are about 55mm. A little big, I suppose.

Actually if its a fringe style setting I could see it being some sort of scrapyard come bazaar.

Amusing, but I actually think it makes a poor fire station.  :)

Cafe, fast food, it actually has a very similar lay out to a Starbucks down the road. They'll slide something in ANYWHERE.  :o

2)local regulator/peace officer's office.
3)Med-point, basic (& I mean basic) medical treatment.
4)Waiting room for the shuttle/bus
5)repair shop (with lots of scrap about).

Some kind of passport/entry control station lying outside the starport's landing pad?

Garden shop. With all those weeds in the post-apoc/sci-fi future I'm sure there will be a few green thumbs insisting on being able to get something "nice" to plant in the garden.
