ESO - a water garden and a hobbit house in the Ample Domicile.

The ponds surrounding the Ample Domicile create the illusion of a structure floating on the water.

Thank you so much for sharing, I love this one! I always appreciate capturing the views. I'm watching through a few of your house tours this morning and every new one I see I feel amazed by. They're all very unique and wonderful to experience. Also, you have a really great voice for narration, reminds me of my favourite audiobook authors and narrators. Relaxing and engaging.

The Ample Domicile used to be my main house when I played the game. Truly amazing what you have done, it's unrecognisable. Amazing work.

[@acflory.writer]

Many thanks. :) The mud blobs have turned into such a fun challenge.

absolutly genius work, love this house, that you have build , like your videos so much Greetings from Germany

[@acflory.writer]

Hi Helene! Thanks for the kind words. Greetings from Australia!

[@a_tremereandsomeblood_just3642]

Zenimax should consider getting great builders like you in theyre Team to make the game feel even more immersive.

[@acflory.writer]

Thank you, but there are far more innovative builders than me, and many of them post their builds on KZbin. Have a look at my playlist 'Houses I wish I'd built' to see what I mean. :) For most of us, building/housing is our endgame.

[@OmegaPhattyAcid]

I think the same, and they could probably get a lot of people to contribute just for a free copy and name in credits or something like that. End up with a lot of unique scenery

[@maggieamundsen2699]

Abolutely beautifull. I am also addicted to views, makes everything open :D Thank you for the idea with the pools, it looks awesome :D Love from Norway :D

[@acflory.writer]

Hi Maggie! Views and water are my passions. I wish zos would give us rectangular pools too. I would love to create like a formal Roman villa with a long, narrow pool in the middle of the garden. :D Ah well. Maybe one day. Cheers from Australia!

[@maggieamundsen2699]

@@acflory.writer I bet that would be aaawesome, hmm, build one on a big waterfiture?? anyway, love all your videaos, you are so nice to listen too . :D

@@maggieamundsen2699 I have seen some fabulous builds that do. I think from memory one of them is called The Tuscan Villa. If you look in my playlist - houses I wish I'd built - it should be in there. :)

Beautiful creation! AC, will you please do a video on floor and wall textures and finishing methods?? It would be immensely helpful 🥺🤗

[@acflory.writer]

Hi Choco. Thanks for the kind words. I'll see what I can do for a 'making of' type video. :)

[@zypheran]

Stunning! Is the water an EHT effect or how did you do the pools?

[@acflory.writer]

Hi Zypheran. I don't use EHT at all. The pools are Firesong Spring, Basalt and they're an achievement reward from Galen. I used the mossy rocks and bridges to hide the 'rim' of each pool and its shape so they look more like one pool instead of 5. Smoke and mirrors. :D

[@stevejohnsonofdeitiesanddu9766]

I've been wanting to create a home with water features, and a pool or pools that I can swim in, without having to have a huge property. Can one actually use the Firesong Spring pools, or they're just for looks? Thank you. This is Amazing! I wonder if I can do similar with my Stay-Moist Mansion?

[@heatherhoffmann7549]

Love the house. Great build. So calm and peaceful looking. How did you connect the springs together without the rim showing?

[@acflory.writer]

Hi Heather, and thanks. To hide the pools I built the surrounds up and over the rims, and the 'bridges' gave the illusion of water flowing beneath them. It was my favourite part of the whole build. :)

Wow, it’s stunning. I’ve just finished my version of this house too, and it’s hard to believe they both started with the same structure. Mine has become more of a Mediterranean villa. I love your ponds. Which housing item are they made from please? Also love all the little details, like the pile of coin next to the bed. Can I ask where these come from too? Great job. Love seeing your builds and hearing the thoughts that go with it.

[@maggieamundsen2699]

The pools comes from Achi vendor in Galen

[@acflory.writer]

-grin- Hi Terri and thanks. Send me a link when you put the video up. I love visiting other people's houses, even if it's just a walkthrough. The ponds are 'Firesong Spring, Basalt' and you can buy them for 40K from the Galen achievement furnisher. You need to complete the High Isle AND Galen msq to get the achievement. I can't remember the coins off hand but I'll look them up when I logon. Cheers. :)

[@terris7842]

@@acflory.writer Thanks! I found the coins. Gold Coast, Brotherhood Achievement Vendor. 🙂 I’m not sure how to do a video but I could add you as a visitor to my house in game. Is @acflory what you use there too? (I’m also an Aussie).

[@charlyhofmann4974]

Looks amazing, sheer pleasure to watch as always. May i ask how you do this thing with the perfect blue water, are these all spectral mudcrabs?

[@acflory.writer]

Hi Charly. The blue of the water comes from the building component itself. The colour will stay blue so long as you don't 'sink' the pool too far into the ground. If you do, the colour of the water changes to reflect the colour of the 'ground'. Not completely, but some. I worked around that problem by raising the surrounds rather than sinking the pools. And yes, my little friend is a spectral mudcrab. :D

[@charlyhofmann4974]

Thanks a lot for this advice 🙌🏻

That's brilliant :) Does anyone know what the bridges are ? thanks .

[@acflory.writer]

Hi Nodders. The bridges are made from two 'High Isle Walkway, Balcony' turned 180 so they meet in the middle. You can make them quite narrow just by pushing them closer together. :)

Hi Dragon. The back is a High Isle Pillar, Ornate, the button is Redguard Goblet, Empty, the toilet 'lid' is Argonian Basket, serving. and the toilet 'bowl' is Alinor Fountain, Timeworn. Enjoy. :D
