First place: steeltjerepel

Second/third place (tied): philupmycup69, Userman

Thanks to all those who entered, and congratulations to those who won!


Out of about a dozen participants, there were only about four or five who submitted builds that could be considered anywhere close to completion. While some of the others look very promising, most were not even half-done.

Thankfully, the quality of the completed builds was far beyond that normally seen on our server, and choosing between them was not an easy task. I was unable to choose between second and third place. While Userman's exterior is well-detailed and interesting, particularly when viewed from the entrance, the inside of the building feels too empty and bland. For philupmycup69, the opposite is true. The interior of the building is the best out of all of the entries, but the outside needs something to break up the repetition.

steeltjerepel employed a simple building style, but did so to great effect. Both the inside and outside of the build are equally detailed, setting it apart from the other submissions. Along with philupmycup69's entry, the winning build is one of only two that could claim to have a fully-decorated interior. He was also the only participant to make use of location. By building the house on the side of a hill, surrounded by forest, steeltjerepel added another layer of detail to his submission that was not present in any other.

I will leave it to the winners to decide for themselves whether they wish to upload screenshots or share the coordinates of their builds.
