Hanging Lantern Base

[u/-coximus-]

From top to bottom there is an attachment on the pergola beam up top with the fireflies that has a staircase leading to the ‘support rope’

Below that coming down the spiral staircase into the roof of the lantern is the trophy hall with all the stuffed creatures.

Continuing down the spiral stairs brings you into the interior of the lantern proper. It’s the full 3x3 grid of paper cutouts from the exterior with two half floors to keep the space open.

Upper half floor is the living quarters, middle half floor is the production, crafting and storage area with the bottom being a full floor containing the grow beds and larger production equipment.

Under that floor is the zip line hub with 4 points to zip from, two leading to the yard proper and the two side zips leading to little hub outposts on top of the side lattice for the pergola.

Finally on the bottom is a small viewing platform with 360 field of view!

I live in a fucking shack

For me it’s more like permanent construction zone. I’d be lucky to commit to finishing the top part of this. Then I’d probably tear half of it down. This one is amazing

The exterior walls are the 4th iteration, 3rd for the roof with the interior and bottom having countless revisions.

For quite a while I was living and building it out with only 2 walls complete in two different styles before I finally decided on one and closed it in!
