AM's Worker's Cottages

Description
AM's Worker's Cottages

This pack contains two low residential assets. They are influenced by the Worker's Cottage architectural style that exploded in popularity in Midwestern USA during the nineteenth century. If you like my assets, feel free to rate it up or leave a comment. If there is a particular variation of the Chicago architecture you'd like to see, leave a comment as well. I got the idea for this project from a comment on my last set of houses so you never know.

Asset Specs
Texture: 1024 x 1024 d/s/n/a/i/c MAIN || 128 x 128 d/s/n/a/i/c LOD. All the assets share textures so you can use LSM to cut down RAM usage. The assets also have 4 color variations.

Size: 1 x 4
  • Level 1 (L1): Tris - 1878 MAIN || 286 LOD
  • Level 2 (L2): Tris - 3961 MAIN || 453 LOD

Notes
The assets only come with the pavement decals and garages. Those can be found in the required items but none of these are mandatory and asset should work just fine without them. If you choose not to subscribe to the garages I'd recommend you don[t subscribe to the pavements either or it'll look weird.

I had planned a Level 3 version in this pack as well but I'm having trouble figuring out how to model sunken sections. Hopefully it should be published separately by next month. I also have Levels 4 & 5 version incoming, but I needed to change up my textures because they are meant to look more modern. They will probably come out shortly after the Level 3 version so look out for them.

Thank you!

US archtiecture has a tendancy to become landfill due to "urban renewal" and other problems

I disagree re: "lowkey" - I've lived in Alaska, Hawai'i, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and the architecture and local design styles I lived around in all of those places were so vastly different and had beautiful, unique influences brought to the modern U.S culture. On the /CS subreddit, US architecture gets so much BS dumped on it, which is sad considering, if one really travels the breadth of this huge country, one can see such vastly different and wholly unique architecture. Super stoked to see what else you do, and thank you for your work preserving some of these unique American pieces of history!

@thedave25 the US lowkey does have some cool historical architecture.

@KikiMarieHenri Greystones are definitely on the agenda. Might be a while though because I really want to finish my Milwaukee bungalows first. But keep an eye out.

I live in a neighborhood chock full of these. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

2 suggestions if you so choose: Chicago graystones; and a particular 2-flat found in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago [earth.google.com], or the northwest side. They are post-war two-flats.

These are amazing a piece of American architectural history that few people know about. Many of these homes are still found in places like Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, etc and represent the multiculturality of the United States, as a modern republic built from multiple cultures and linguistic groups! Thank you for taking the time to preserve these uniquely American worker's cottages in CS!
