The Rank i am applying for is: architect
My game name is: blackeyeddog
My project is called: 2 sides of nature
To get to my project: ask to tp to me in game or go to adventures town spawn and go left and its in the air.
A brief description: There are 2 sides of nature the cold and beautiful and the hot and overgrown. to show that they are as one i have split the mansion into half and half showing that it should look amazing as one, as nature.

I'm not saying it looks bad yet it lacks. Keep in mind that, for one, it is just floating in the middle of the sea therefore it is not connected anywhere else in nature. Also For the most part on the outside it looks like a cube so a bit of work should be done around it. The concept is fine but the implementation needs a bit of work. I find this apprentice worthy but for Arch it needs work.

I'd personally agree with psi, but I come with ideas! One possible way of making it not floating on nothing without rebuilding is to make it on top of a cloud so its heavenly, or you could make half of it supported by a jungle tree and the other half by an icey pillar. You could add some things on the ground and a way up as well. As for the cube, there are so many ways to make it not a cube, I imagine you could come up with something

When it's finished you could get Architect I think, but that would mean you would need to do some terraforming around it, it couldn't just float around like a platform, you'd need to build up some land to it or set it on a pedestal or something.

Damn I wish I knew that it couldn't float or Id would've done it on the ground so how do I get it to be on the ground or something? And can I have a rating so I understand wat areas need most ?

I figured when I saw it in-game that it was just the beginning of a much larger build which is why it was so high up in the sky, I apologize for misleading you about the potential for Architect rank.
When applying for Architect we like builds to be nicely integrated in to the surrounding area, realism is paramount. We also like it to be well thought out. For example doorways and room sizes, corridor sizes, windows. All of these should be in the correct and expected proportions.
For this build I'd give it 5 for beauty, 6 for scale, 6 for execution and 5 for uniqueness. Total score: 22, it would need 30 to get Architect.

Black I seen this build its truly lovely. But like others have said your need to teraform it. Try thinking like this. How would you get to the house without fly? Find a way to connect it to the land maybe a eye appealing bridge, then think of how to connect it to the ocean. maybe rolling green hills with springs of hot water dribbling down. Some trees to give shade in the hot Summer or some Spruce to protect you from the Winter snow fall. Also I looked really close at it. It gives the feel of maybe a nice sitting area, maybe a hedge maze or a little spot for a wishing well. Your great with landscaping after seeing the nice pattern you made in this build. some more of these maybe going down at different levels until you hit a dock maybe? Think about it

I know your a great builder and I can't wait to see what your mind comes up with!
